I seem recall some time ago that someone was going to try making a few dual steering wheel controllers for MAME. Haven't heard anything since. Anyone remember this??
: I have 2 hotrods (one with a spinner) and trackballs. The only controls I'm really missing are steering wheels and a light gun. The gun probably won't be a reality for quite some time. But why isn't anyone making high quality steering wheel controls for MAME?? Couldn't be that expensive??
: : Yes, someone needs to make some high quality 2-player steering wheel sets for MAME. I'm sure if you wait for Hanaho, you'll be waiting a long, long time. I'm sure many people on here are capable of great work. They would have to be very sturdy, have at least 3 buttons for each player, hook up to one mouse driver, and give each player lots of space (might want to put a trackball in the center as well). Who would be the best person to do something like this??

: : : Hanaho takes years to even make a USB version of its 3 year old HotRod. I wish someone would make some nice new 2-player steering wheel panels (hooked up to one mouse driver). I'd buy one for sure!!
: : : : Hey all,
: : : : I wondered if anyone has tried mounting a gaming steering wheel to a spinner (not permanently) for driving games. Any success stories? I was also toying with the idea of putting in a brake and gas pedal and putting in pushbuttons underneath for the contacts... good or bad idea or would it even work.
: : : : I just thought it might be cool to be able to temporarilry mount a steering wheel for all those old driving games, but wonder if it would work well or cause too much stress on a spinner.
: : : : Thanks!
