hydraulic driving game
G1zm0:
hi im goin to mame a driving game, got chance of ridge racer or gti club sitdown if mamed would the hydraulics work within mame or would it not move? does it use a percific logic board for this? also if its not a 360 wheel on it will all games work ok with the wheel? does this involve alot of work to get it going? and lastly is it worth it?
CheffoJeffo:
No
Yes ??? (percific?)
Not really
Depends
Maybe
EDIT: To be less obnoxious -- nope, the hydraulics won't work by default -- you will need to do some special work there. If you don't have a 360 wheel, then you will have some trouble playing games designed for a 360 wheel. The other two I can't answer without more details.

i thought the hydraulics wouldnt work, anyway it would go through more electric, there aint alot of 360games out so wont be playing sprint, ironman and apb,i want a driving cab that i can play good driving games but how easy is it to get it all working 100% (controlls i mean) i know some games like daytona use 1234 gear and games like outrun have high low and chase hq have turbo button, would the 1234 combo work with hi/low games or should i get cab with high low switch or paddels and just put buttons on cab for 3 and 4 gear and turbo, this part is quite confusin, help appreciated

I think he means specific logic board.
I've been contemplating doing some racing controls and here's the situation. Games like pole position have the stick either at high or at low. Some games use a spring type lever to change gears. Also think of afterburner as a high/low type of stick. Some have a turbo button like you said as well. I'm not 100 percent sure, but i think a 1234 shifter would work for your high/low.

I've seen more than a few dedicated arcade driving cabs and the general consensus is this: the creators are NEVER satisfied with the results. Your best bet is to pick just a few games that you know will play nice together.
