Hello guys

It seems i cannot make work my old Thrustmaster t2 Sterring wheel with my mame cabinet  I am using mamewah, & dos mame i think

The thrustmaster connects to the Game port + i have calibrated it fine.

I am using an x arcade aswell but it connects via ps2 so it doesn't really have to interfer with anything....

In mamewah theres a place with Mouse 0 , joy 0  ( I set them to 1 all of them for the heck of it because it was (0 = off  1 = On)
doesn't work either


I go in the game Press Tab = try to configure it Hit any key on the sterring doesn't move....

how can i fix this?

thanks!!!!

ArcadEd:

Does your MAME cabinet have windows installed?

If the joystick is digital, I'm not sure Dos can recognize it via the Gameport.  I remember back in the day when digital joysticks first came out, there were a lot of problems trying to get them to work with DOS games.

hayabusa_fmw:

so it would never work, ....?
this sucks tho many of older device were made Game port wise.

i would need a USB one...?.....

ArcadEd:

Probably your best bet would be to upgrade to windows for the OS and windows mame.

I'm not sure if any steering wheel will work in DOS Mame unless it's a mouse hack.

u_rebelscum:

ArcadeEd, the T2 wheel is so old apparently was designed for dos (link 1 and link 2), so all is needed are the right drivers and tell dmame what type of driver you have.


And hayabusa_fmw, are you sure you are using dos mame ('dmame.exe' since before 0.53), not windows commandline mame, aka official mame, aka mame, aka "mame.exe"?  I haven't used dmame for a long time, so hopefully someone else can help.  If you have mame.exe and it's not 4 years old, it is not dos mame and more people know how to help you.
