Can you use an arcade steering-wheel with pc steering-wheel innards?

RoboG2:

I would like to have a sitdown driving cab for newer games (NFSU2, etc.), but would not like to use those pc steering-wheels, as they do not look as realistic as thos found in some arcade machines.  Can you use an arcade steering-wheel (I believe 270 degrees for newer games) with pc steering-wheel innards (pcb, etc.)?  Thanks in advance.

Flinkly:

you could pick up the actual old school steering wheel of ebay, and then figure out how to replace it with your pc steering wheel...other than that, i would say no since technology has changed alot since then.  if you found any old arcade equipment that was compatible with todays equipment, i would be very suprised.

APFelon:

There are products out there that will allow you to use an arcade wheel with your PC. It's a small PCB that operates similar to the J-PAC or I-PAC. Give me a moment and I'll find a link for you...

ooh, ooh, ooh im super interested in this too. how about using some adapters on that adapter to use the wheel with consoles? force feedback or vibration??


im making a console driving cab right now, and the wheel i have is OK, but i wish it was more sturdy.......


waiting with baited breath!

Heck, give the A-PAC a look. It has recently been released by arcade control legend Andy Warne and I will personally vouch that his products are top notch.
