Logitech Racing Wheel
RTSDaddy2:
Beats me - mine actually wanted light guns, but I don't have a vid card with video out yet.
brophog:
Even when we go to the arcade (or closest facsimilie these days), all she plays are the driving games.
RTSDaddy2:
UPDATE: On Christmas morning, when she plugged it in, the wheel and peddals worked PERFECTLY with "Outrun," which she loved. We're trying now to figure out the best "sensitivity" level to use, but MAME registered the whole thing. Now I've just got to figure out why it's not doing so on Turbo. Could that be the dual axis thing?

You better be careful RTSDaddy you might just get a phone call one day from someone asking "if your wife would like a free cockpit racing cabinet" like my hubby did one day. check out this post http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=43723.0
I bought my hubby a logitech momo wheel to build a racing cabinet which then ended up becoming used in this cockpit. Of course we needed two wheels so we could race together and we also have a PC logitech formula force wheel as well. I havent had much luck configuring it for mame, cept outrun and a few others. They work great with PC racing games.
Its great your wife is into racing as well as you -enjoy it, its lots of fun when you can enjoy this hobby together

Hey Atari2600Chik,
If my wife got that phone call, we probably wouldn't need the wheel!
I appreciate your comments...and so's everyone will know, I do appreciate her love of the hobby too. She was down sawing off parts of our marquee retainer with me yesterday. Don't kid yoursef, I know how lucky I am...I just thought it was a pretty good quote right around Christmas! :D
For that matter, my 3 year old is also into "retrogaming" now. Would just as soon play DK as anything else. You think that doesn't make me happy, what with all the ultra-violent platform games that are out now, you'd really be crazy. Now listen, I've got nothing against the "mature" games...but you need to be "mature" enough to play them....and 8 - 12 certainly isn't in my book, to say nothing of kids my daughter's age. Just my two cents (can anyone else smell the topic thread shifting?). I'll stop with that - I'm just glad she likes simple games like "Chicken Shift" and "Hatris" (her two favorites right now)
