Wingman Warrior Questions

eastbayarb:

I am getting a Wingman Warrior Soon that I wanna use with MAME. It is what I believe an analog joystick and has a 360 degree spinner. Info can be seen here:

I have some questions on it:

1. Does there exist a Windows XP driver for it (searched here and on google but no luck).

2. Can I use 2 of these with my computer ? I wanna use 2 of these for 2 player racing/spinner games.

3. Is the joystick analog and can be use with analog MAME games?

4. Anyone here have one or two of these and have successfully configured it with MAME?

Thank you!

Doesn't use a driver..... Runs under the windows driver.

I hope you're not buying one specifically to use with mame... It's not a great stick in the first place, and certinly not great for mame.  If you're getting it for free then good luck. Otherwise, buy something else.

I am buying the Wingman Warrior mostly for the spinner

are you saying that Windows XP will be able to use the throttle/spinner/analog stick on this Wingman Warrior?

horseboy:

I remember WAYYYY back in the day the Wingman Warrior was one of the best mame solutions our there. How times have changed.

StuckInJapan:

Actually, this IS a quality stick, and was the best FPS controller in its day.
Have to agree though that it won't make a good MAME choice in Win2000/XP.
The Logitech site says:

The serial port connection for the WingMan Warrior is not supported under Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
Serial and game port devices are not supported by the WingMan software in Windows 2000 or Windows XP.  To use this device in Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you must use the gameport connection and the native Windows drivers.

Problem with this is that you need the serial connection to access the spinner.
With just the gameport connection, you're limited to a choice between
a joystick+hat switch or a joy+throttle.
P.S. it's an analog stick, remember playing MAME Star Wars with it a long time ago
