And no, you can't interface your cruisin usa force feedback with MAME. Maybe some day though (I like optimism  ;D)!

Unfortunately not, it will be a sweet bench-model once i visit the IKEA store in Belgium
somewhere ;)

You could use the shifter and steering wheel in mame though :)

i can salvage the speakers inside it though.  Too bad, the gearstick and
wheel seemed cool  ;)

In all case, it does indeed resemble a leafswitch like on the picture on the wiki
(which i thought i read through, tsk tsk me... sorry..).  Now to order the needed
buttons !
Thanks for the help !

You can use the controls in MAME, you just can't interface the force-feedback system.

Do a search on "dual strike steering hack" to find a way to use the wheel...or get an A-Pac from Ultimarc.

I wonder if this usb interface from happ would provide forcefeed back with the optional daughter card?

I'm just throwing this out there I don't know if it will work or not.  On page 2 it makes mention of output for lights and solenoids.  Hopefully someone who knows a lot more about this than me can chime in an say if this will work for force feedback.

angelomcm:

Thanks again for the helpfull replies.

Hmm, the force feedback has a low priority now that I hear that
the wheel and gears CAN be hooked up somehow.

After work, I will take a look at the cables going from both devices
and compare it with the A-pac.  Too bad the pedals dont work no more,
but I guess that is a challenge on its own...  :laugh:
