| Need help to build a Racing Cabinet |
| (1/1) |
| Postalp:
Hello all, I was interested in building a driving cabby some time ago, but got discouraged (I'm fairly newb). Then I wanted to purchase a Race Drivin' Cabby, but found out that they are expensive, rare and shipping alone would kill (weighs around 750lbs) So I was again discouraged, until I came across this... http://custom-arcade.com/roadrage.htm I actually have that very same wheel (MOMO racing force) sitting around collecting dust. So now I am once again inspired. I wish to make a cabinet something like that "RoadRage" (Sitdown cabby) I'm sure I can figure out the actuall dimensions of the cabinet, but again I have never used MAME for Driving games and my questions are: Anyone know where I can get a racing seat? Where can I get a shifter as well (ACT Labs doesnt sell them anymore)? What Emulator should I use? How do I interface my current USB Wheel with the choosen EMU (I have tried using the MOMO wheel on Hard Drivin' in MAME32 but the steering/throttle is all screwey)? Has Race Drivin' been emulated yet? Thanks for your time, already in a short time you guys have helped me out. |

Where do you live and how much are you willing to spend? I have a Ridge Racer with a fried CPU that I may be willing to part out if you are near me and the price is right. (won't ship; not cost effective) The Ridge Racer seat assembly has a shifter built in, so you could kill two birds with one stone. Edit: Forgot to answer your questions. Anyone know where I can get a racing seat? See above. Where can I get a shifter as well (ACT Labs doesnt sell them anymore)? See above. What Emulator should I use? MAME, but you can use a PSX emulator for some of the PSX racing games. How do I interface my current USB Wheel with the choosen EMU (I have tried using the MOMO wheel on Hard Drivin' in MAME32 but the steering/throttle is all screwey)? Not too sure. You probably have to do an ingame calibration. Has Race Drivin' been emulated yet? Yep, Race Drivin', Hard Drivin', and even a Race Drivin' prototype that has never seen the inside of arcades. 9fel |

I live in central Minnesota... If you feel like traveling, maybe we can reach an arrangement (or perhaps even meet somewhere). APf |
