Gonna add a Steering Wheel ... The only question is, which one?
TheShaner:
Well, the title says it all, I think I am going to go ahead and add a steering wheel to my cab, I just dont know which one I should go for. Anyone have any opinions or insight they'd mind sharing?
Le Chuck:
The biggest one Randy carries, the small one is crazy tiny... if you're doing a spinner conversion. If not then I am no help in this thread.
BadMouth:
360 degree (Pole Postion, Ivan Stewarts Offroad)
or
270 degree (Cruisn', Daytona USA)
The 270 completely sucks for 360 games.
The 360 can be made to work on the 270 games, but is less than ideal. It can be made a bit better with some complicated workarounds.
Lotsa info on that in the driving cab thread in my sig.
If you are just going to use a PC wheel as it is,
I'd recommend a Logitech because the profiler software makes life a lot easier when setting it up for various emulators.
TheShaner:
Thanks Le Chuck. I guess that is the big question ... do I go with a generalized PC type steering wheel setup, or go with a spinner conversion? I dont give a ratts ass about forced feedback, but there is something to be said about clamping it on and having all of the controls necessary together. I eventually plan on carving some slits into my control panel to allow for modules to be added and clamped down, such as steering wheels and flight sticks, etc. This might be a good time to do it, but I would hate to go down that root if a standard PC type controller will net more game support in the end. hmmf.

I plan to base my racing cabinet around Gran Turismo 5 for PS3. This is the ultimate wheel for it:

Does anyone know about using this with MAME? I was hoping to mod it to work with a PC and a Dreamcast. I think it has provisions so that you don't have to use it in 900 degree mode when not playing GT5.
