steering wheels and joysticks

(1/1)

effdubya:
are regular PC joysticks and steering wheels compatible with MAME? or just some games? or does it depend on the individual joystick/steering wheel? or does it need to be hacked somehow?

any answers would be appreciated  ;D
thanks!

Minwah:
Yes for the most part.  Some arcade driving games (approx. half of the ones in MAME) used a 360degree wheel (like a big spinner).  PC wheels are no good for these as they spring back to centre - a spinner or real arcade 360deg wheel is the only real solution here.

Kremmit:
You can play the 360 degree wheel games with your trackball or mouse, too.  Trackball would probably work OK, mouse will suck.
