What settings to enable wheel + pedals in MAME? (Logitech Driving Force PRO)
ARTIFACT:
I successfully installed my Logitech Driving Force PRO wheel on my cab PC
It works well with the Model2 emulator
it works well with PC games in general
BUT
For the life of me I can't figure out the flags/settings I need to launch MAME with - OR how to assign the controls within the MAME Settings Menu ** "Controls (This Game)" ** after launching MAME. I do go to the controls assignment list, try to change the steering/etc but moving the wheel/pedals does not trigger the control assignment change (learn). It's ignored.
I have read numerous threads (search) where folks use this wheel in MAME with success.
Any idea what information I am missing here?
Is the wheel seen as a dial/paddle from MAME? a mouse? Thanks...
SGT:
Have you enabled joystick in your mame.ini:
--- Code: ---joystick 1
--- End code ---
Really better to create an ini with the name of the roms that you want steering support.
For example, polepos.ini would be in the ini subfolder with only the following line in it:
--- Code: ---joystick 1
--- End code ---

I don't know for a fact that that particular steering wheel is seen as a joystick, but I think it is. Hopefully u_rebelscum will see this post as he's the controls expert.

:laugh: Just an enthusiast.
I do not have that wheel, but it's 99.99% has to be a "joystick" to mame. OTOH, your use of dial/paddle in your question is a little backwards: the game's input for driving games is either "Dial" or "Paddle", so you have to map whatever joystick number your wheel is to mame to those inputs, and you want to map to the analog part of the dial/paddle and NOT the inc / dec parts.
If you will also have two u360s wired directly to the computer (which I recommend), you will have 3 joysticks to mame (assuming all three are plugged in). But if you only have the wheel ATM, it should be joy 1, and should by default be mapped to dial and paddle inputs if you enable joysticks as SGT suggested. If you also have a gamepad etc, though, it might be joy 2+. And if you already remapped, it might be easier to delete those .cfg files ("harder" way: input this game, and for every highlighted input, hit enter, esc, enter, esc, with enough pause between the first esc and the second enter for mame to display "none").
