Re: Driving games

Nice info....thanks, I'm sure it will come in handy. Game look great. Do
you only play PS games on this or do you have mame set up on it too?

My question is, what's the best controller to use. I know some games
work better with some controllers. Should I use an optic interface
or pot? Does someone sell a driving controller for mame?

I used a plain ol' USB steering wheel for my driving cabinet. I spent some
time looking for one that would work with both the PC and PlayStation, and
so I can play both retro games in MAME, modern PC games and modern PS
games all in the same unit. I've found that to be a particularly
satisfying combination.

You can read all about my cabinet and see lots of pictures on my web site
at www.adamdawes.com -- I'd be glad to answer any questions you have.

MAME has an extremely flexible input configuration window which is quite
capable of talking to joysticks and steering wheels. I did consider trying
to get some kind of flight yoke controller so that I could play games like
Star Wars, Star Blade, etc., but in the end I decided to focus on the
driving games and bought a wheel instead.
