Controls will not work through the supergun and Saturn uses a decoder fir the signals as far as I remember, so you would have to directly wire the 2 pots in the controller to the G-Net PCB.

Your right it would have to be hacked and rewired. I think the PS1 version would be the best candidate since they are more common and usually sell for less so no need to hack up an SS controller. The Playstation version should feel at home with the Gnet. A little rewiring should get you by instead of having to start from scratch. The wireless controller is a very cool idea but i was looking for something more get up and go. The time put in splicing the wires and connecting them directly to the pots should be a fairly minimal task.

The image above is currently set to $60...
Think the biggest issue is how many pots are onboard, and how those pots are being interfaced.
The SS ports on your supergun are likely digital only...
That said, almost all the SS steering wheels translate the analog pots to digital signal.
It’s a nice unit, so you could rewire the post directly and then adapt to the GNet board. Plug and play this is not.

I could get the Playstation controller right now for $35. I just purchased it and came under $40 shipped. Not bad. I'll know more when I receive it if it has pots or some kind of optic sensor.

Well just for your info or anyone else's. This controller consists of 3 pots. I would have to figure out what their ratings are and go from there. I could try and just utilize the 1 trigger pot and the steering pot alone then figure out if I can mod them with resistors or replace them. Take some clever wiring to utilize both trigger pots.

Ill know more when I hook it to the real hardware. Hopefully the game loads up. The photo in this thread shows 5k potentiometers so shouldn't be too difficult to replicate the signal. Constructing a cable from old cat wire now.

I'll be following this, hopefully you can get this working properly

It might be a challenge as it expects one pot for throttle/brake but it will be really great as a racing controller for other racing games that require separate pots for throttle and brake.

I could try to utilize the one pot as both. The circuit board is just for the traces. I could actually remove it and the pots are normal ones with a thin top nut, although they are about half inch wide. I didnt have a hard time finding 5k pots in that size on the net.
The trigger is just attached to the one pot. There is a second trigger thats easily removable. As you can see in the photo only one trigger is necessary anyhow. But yes I could make custom cables to work with other consoles/games that are analog type.
I went ahead and took a photo of the mechanism so you can take a closer look. The second pot is completely not needed.
One more photo of the circuit board and potentiometers. Tip: Try not to lose orientation upon reassembly.
Yes I did this all on a whim. I work a full time job and regularly mod consoles in my spare time. (hobby)
Guessing this is the calibration screen.

Very helpful thread. I picked up a gnet a bit ago and am watching this learning so I can set up rcdego myself.

Taking a break now with different games. Just make sure you get good quality cf cards or in my case ones that aren't broken. The games aren't getting any cheaper.
