Hi,
I have a 2 player sit down Battle Gear 3 cab, which I'm currently trying to restore. I have a friend who is helping me, but he can't come to my house until after the quarantine.
I always wanted a multi-cab so I want to bring forward the multicab part of the plan, and do a quarantine project!
I can't afford to buy 2 PCs yet, but I do have 2 original XBOXs. I have one already softmodded, and the other one I can softmod easy enough.
I'm hoping to play games like Need for Speed Underground and a few other driving games. Maybe even install MAME on the XBOX as well.
So my plan is to try get the original arcade controls (steering wheel, pedals, shifter, handbrake and control panel buttons) and wire them up so I can use them on an XBOX. I'd be happy with just the wheel, accelerator and brake working.
Has anyone interfaced an arcade steering wheel and pedals with an XBOX before? I know with a PC you can use a U-HID but not sure if it would work for the gamepad. Although the gamepads are basically USB.
Could I get a U-HID, as if I was wiring up a PC, and then butcher a USB cable and add an XBOX controller port on the end? Would this work with the wheel?
The wheel, I believe, is a "270 degree" wheel. It can turn about 1.5 times (540 degrees?) each way, and then stops.
Thanks.
