Demon-Seed:
I have been interested in this topic too. I was considering a driving cade...but I am nervous about hooking up controls. I see that happs sells steel pedals etc..but how do they connect? also there is analog and digital games??? not sure on that........ I was considering buying a cruisin usa and hack to mame?? is that possible?
I have been using google and there is some solid ones that may work?

Those look real nice. Can you use analog pedals on a digital game, would you have on and off?

In mame, Yes. Mame translates analog to digital fine. So IMO get analog pedals, as they can be used in both analog pedal and digital pedal games (even if you usually "pedal to the metal" on analog pedal games).

What he said :)
Also, probably not so important but I got a 4-speed shifter to play as many different games as poss. A nice thing about the 4-speed shifters is you can get 'neutral' when you don't want a keypress being sent...hi/lo shifters can do this as well of course but for some games you really need both the NO and NC contacts conntected to an input (ie games which use one button for lo, and another for hi).
It would be nice if all hi/lo shifters were treated the same in Mame...the real pain are the 'Pole Position' type toggle to change gear ones.

Would the super-fine Logitech G25 Steering Wheel work with MAME racing games like outrun, pole position, Off Road, Sprint, etc?
