Maybe the next one... ;D --- End quote --- Definitely keep an eye out. I got mine for $19.99 plus shipping a year or so back on eBay, and I was the only bidder. I haven't gotten around to hooking it up, yet, but I'm sure I'll get to it eventually. |

With shipping it's under $40 so I'm very happy! |

Oh, hell, if its only 6" deep I could put it behind the trackball. So do the pedals connect to the computer via USB as well? I couldnt tell from the Amazon site. --- End quote --- There is only one USB cable that connects to the PC. The pedals connect to the wheel with a different cable. There is a little bit of clearance under the wheel. There wasn't enough room between my trackball and player 1 buttons so it's hovering over a couple of those buttons. It doesn't seem to make a difference though, just make sure those buttons are not bound to anything in MAME in case they are pressed. |

I ordered this wheel, Andy. So thanks for the advice. For anyone else interested, there is a company on ebay selling used but like new units (even in original packaging) for $10 plus $15 shipping through Buy It Now. They still have some. |

Something to consider... I wasnt that good at the game until I bought an actual machine... and since then, Ive come to realize a few things. The wheel is built like a Tank. Its made to be slammed at high velocity from left to right edges. The reason for this? To bump the bullet proof cars.. the game senses how much turn you made in said time unit. So... if you only turn part way... the baddies may not bump far enough away to crash into the curb. (or their bump will over power yours.. and send you flying) Also, if you do not move the wheel fast enough, it appropriately makes the forces reduced. Much like you hitting a pool ball with the stick. If you are moving the wheel really fast.. its bound to slam very hard at the extreme edges. Which in most pc wheels which are made of thin plastic... would probably create damages over a short time. Spy Hunters wheel has 2 huge rubber bumpers which absorb the shock forces, and keep the wheel from ripping apart. (as well as being made from heavy gage steel) Hacks are fun... but generally, they end up costing more than the original units.. and dont work half as well. |
