you might be able to pull off mario cart 64  because it uses an anolog stick, but i dont know about digital input to steering wheel

I will have to try. I have 2 sidewinder steerind wheels
a stand up Sprint 2 cab ( not working yet)
that would be a blast on that cab.
If not maybe a Playstation spin off will do.
I will try the nicktoons PC version later

Mario Kart in a Crusin USA cab would be sweet.

I've been contemplating making a Double Dash sitdown.  That'd rock.

Figured you guys might want to see this if you havent heard about it.

It is a brand new Mario Kart Arcade game. It is coming out in Japanese arcades soon, and it is an entirely new game, tottally different from Double Dash.. with the classic one rider carts. It looks awesome, and even has a built in camera to take your picture, to display above your cart drivers head instead of the respective Player 1 or 2 with an arrow pointing down.

Oh and since it it is on the Triforce Arcade system that Namco has a part in Pac-Man is a playable character, how awesome is that!

I think it looks awesome, but i doubt i will ever see it in an arcade in NJ. Just like ive never seen the F-Zero AX arcade machine. But man these things look sweet. I hope they port it to the GameCube but that is highly unlikely.

Mario Kart 64 works fine with the PJ64 Emulator and a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Steering Wheel.
