Hello all,
I was interested in building a driving cabby some time ago, but got discouraged (I'm fairly newb).
Then I wanted to purchase a Race Drivin' Cabby, but found out that they are expensive, rare and shipping alone would kill (weighs around 750lbs)
So I was again discouraged, until I came across this...
http://custom-arcade.com/roadrage.htm
I actually have that very same wheel (MOMO racing force) sitting around collecting dust.
So now I am once again inspired. I wish to make a cabinet something like that "RoadRage" (Sitdown cabby)
I'm sure I can figure out the actuall dimensions of the cabinet, but again I have never used MAME for Driving games and my questions are:
Anyone know where I can get a racing seat?
Where can I get a shifter as well (ACT Labs doesnt sell them anymore)?
What Emulator should I use?
How do I interface my current USB Wheel with the choosen EMU (I have tried using the MOMO wheel on Hard Drivin' in MAME32 but the steering/throttle is all screwey)?
Has Race Drivin' been emulated yet?
Thanks for your time, already in a short time you guys have helped me out.

Where do you live and how much are you willing to spend?
I have a Ridge Racer with a fried CPU that I may be willing to part out if you are near me and the price is right. (won't ship; not cost effective)
The Ridge Racer seat assembly has a shifter built in, so you could kill two birds with one stone.
Edit: Forgot to answer your questions.

See above.

See above.
What Emulator should I use?
MAME, but you can use a PSX emulator for some of the PSX racing games.
How do I interface my current USB Wheel with the choosen EMU (I have tried using the MOMO wheel on Hard Drivin' in MAME32 but the steering/throttle is all screwey)?
Not too sure. You probably have to do an ingame calibration.
Has Race Drivin' been emulated yet?
Yep, Race Drivin', Hard Drivin', and even a Race Drivin' prototype that has never seen the inside of arcades.

I live in central Minnesota... If you feel like traveling, maybe we can reach an arrangement (or perhaps even meet somewhere).
