Kinda old ATM, but http://urebelscum.speedhost.com/drivingInputs.html
As of mame 0.62, more 270 than 360 wheels in mame (38 vs 33). I'll redo it for 0.67 soon.

FWIW, Road Blaster plays better with a 360 wheel. The original cab had a spinner type input with limited movement, so mame treats it like a spinner, and 270 PC wheels suck at controling games with spinner input in mame.

Well I guess for now I will try out one of those cheapo Logitech wheels....they have some buttons/shifter on the wheel itself. This may come in handy for some games.
I still think playing pole position with a spinner sucks!!! :P

Aye, it does suck...but not as bad as playint Cruisin' USA with a 360 wheel.

I have 2 working 360 degree wheels I may do something with, I don't have the cash to do to much though, also I have a new cash drain Area 51 cab with no PCB on the way ::)

Damn, Super Sprint and Ironman Offroad are two of my favorite games........I'm only going to have one spinner in my upright, yeesh..should I consider two?
If I use two, I'd have to run MameAnalog+ right?
My box is Win98....could I use 2 spinners to get at least 2 player racing??
I understand that a regular cheapie PC wheel is also recommended for modern racing games, but I was smart enough once upon a time to pick up a pair of PC compatible Wheel racers (the hand held wheels) and they work great and store completely out of site when you're not using them.
I can't wait until I have my coctail and my upright set up.....and I fire up Need for Speed Porche Challenge on the wireless lan :)
of course an Iron Man Super Off Road tournament will follow shortly thereafter, to give props to the Old School ;)
