The answer to both could be yes.

I recently saw a thread of a French guy, he took Daytona USA cabs and wired their controls into the PCBs from a pair of Xbox1 racing wheels.  It was a simple job and he mostly just had to connect the wires.

It could be important to use Xbox wheel PCBs instead of Gamepad PCBs, various games have special support for wheels and will specifically detect if a wheel is connected and change some options accordingly.

for me it was.  I MAME'd my Road Blasters cab because I didn't have the patience to fix the old atari stuff.  So I just tossed a PC in there.  I wanted it to still just be Road Blasters...so....interfacing the original controllers was way worth it.

Ya for me I mean I don't think the game even works and for me personally final lap isnt a cool enough game to spend my time and money fixing it..Part of me wants to mame it and race classic games but part of me wants to throw to xboxs on there in race system link games like outrun..Either way im not a good enough do it your self-er to hack the original arcade controls..But of I use 2 xbox steering wheels I dont want it to look dumb..Also does anyone know if a steering wheel work well with mame on the xbox? Sigh decision decisions..

Any program that doesn't SPECIALLY support the wheel on an Xbox1 will actually fallback to using the wheel as a giant gamepad.  You could use a wheel to play Xbox1 games like Marvel vs Capcom 2 or Pac-Man. :P

Well im just wondering how well the steering wheel feels on mame racing games on the xbox..Ok so whats pissing me off is there is hardly any system link racing games for the xbox.Is there even any real point and getting the 2 player racing cab because if most everything is split screen then obviously there wouldent be much versus action..Also does anyone know if a version of mame on the xbox supports system link? So two people can race on seperate screens? Thanks
