Added a wheel to my cab
« on: November 02, 2005, 09:33:57 pm »
I recently added a Thrustmaster wheel and pedals to my cabinet. I used Parts Express vinyl for the first time and I'm pretty happy with the way it looks. I'm going to use the same stuff for a spinner/trackball panel that I'm building.

Great for Spy Hunter.

Where did you get the setup from?

Where did you get the setup from?

I built it. Someone gave me the USB wheel and pedals. I took it apart (had to fix some broken soldering anyway) and then I mounted it to 3/4" MDF with hex bolts. Added the buttons, vinyl, and some T-molding, ran the cabling though the bottom of the panel, and added a plug for the pedals. The two-position shifter works well enough for Mamewah so I don't need any other input (like a joystick or keyboard).

It's a 270-degree wheel so I'm playing mostly Outrun, Spy Hunter, Gran Tourismo (ePSXe), and Need for Speed Underground.

How did you get your steering wheel to work in Epsxe?  I cant get my logitech working with version 1.7

Wow... that's an old thread. Good thing I have notification turned on.

I'll check to see what I did for you. I haven't used the wheel in a year or more (I prefer simple joystick games on the cabinet). I don't remember what I had to finagle to get it to work with ePSXe.
