Sterring wheel not working on a Mamewah/mame/cabinet
hayabusa_fmw:
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.

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.
