Title: Use two U360s for driving games?
Post by: Calathea on September 05, 2007, 11:27:08 am

I am putting together some ideas for my home built cab and wonderd if anyone had tried using the U360 sticks as analog sticks ala a control pad for driving games. Then map two of the two player buttons for the gear shift.
I reaslise the best option would be the spinner with a wheel attached but wondered if this would work.
Would you actually be able to use the analog movement of the sticks as the steering controls or would it only be in digital mode?

Yes, works

I hate gamepads, so if that's what you mean, no. ;)

No, but should work.  BYW, why player 2's?

Only for 360 degree wheel games like super sprint, offroad, and pole position.  For 270 degree like spy hunter, the best would be 270 degree wheels, such normal PC wheels.

If you tell the u360 to send analog signal, and map in mame as such, it will work fine.
