Logitech G25 Too Much For Mame?
<< < (8/10) > >>
Visitor Q:
So I guess there is no way to assign the pedals or gear shift lever in Mame then, so it seems.
Flake:
I have the driving force pro PC wheel recommended in one of links posted by Cheffo (Whyt type of steering wheel to get?).  It is a 270 degree wheel and works great for certain games like Spyhunter (which is why I bought it).  Got it for $45 with shipping from E-bay.  Its pretty much plug and play although I did adjust the sensitivity of the wheel through the .ini file as recommended by URebelScum.  That guy is very helpful.

Regarding the sqabble you are all having I agree with Mountain in that is way more annoying to see nothing but useless posts going back and forth about not searching before posting than it is to repost old questions.  If the point of those posts is to help members avoid being annoyed and to save time then I think that way of doing it is counter productive.

That being said, I actually find that I get information much quicker by using the search function becuase I dont have to wait on responses.  I have had to start a few threads I think because I couldnt find answers to my questions but overall the search function works well (just remember to open each thread that pops up in a new window - otherwise using the search function can be annoying).  I have also found that it is better to post in on-going threads because those who have posted in them may have turned on the notification alert and will respond more quickly to questions.  Bottom line for me is that I think posting a new thread is likely the last option for me in gathering information.

Yeah I mean $300 is what it retails for and although it looks like it is great for PC games it seems it does not act in a way like you say to utilize a lot of Mame games. I see that there is another version for $100 that Logitech offers that does have force feedback and maybe that would be better suited?

No, it is not. MAME does not utilize force feedback. The force feedback was implemented differently in pretty much every driving game. Now that isn't to say force feedback is impossibe. I have seen a few projects that use it (Outrun and VR racing in particular), but it is not plug and play. The outrun is a custom build of MAME that interprets the hardware signals used to drive the original motors. Both projects I have seen both require major software and hardware hacks. Neither project was ever completed to my knowledge either.

You hijacked your own thread by arguing with RetroGreg rather than thanking Jeffo for the links.

No hoopz addressed that, you reiterated it.

Maybe you should read/ re-read reply #12 and wonder why I did not thank him.

Then when you are done there, read/ re-read reply #19.

I'm not looking for a Father Figure here Ginsu or an argument but you are sure trying your best to turn it into one.  :dunno

None of my posts have a harsh tone. I simply pointed out facts.

Just like this post.

I haven't tried to make this an argument at all, because, like I said, you did that once you acknowledged RetroGreg.

Next time, just say thanks to Jeffo and follow the links.

That point was made clear when I edited my post. My personal thoughts really don't apply here when there are rules set about censorship which is why I decided to go back and edit my post.

Jeffo will be thanked when he deserves to be thanked, at least by me. When you read about the true intentsions of his post, all this is made clear. He spelled it out him self, so I need not do so or at least that is what I thought.

You can assign pedals in MAME no prob. The shifter is a problem because once again, different games use the shifter in different ways.
