Steering Wheel in Demul? (gas/brake input)

[Jayinem]

Just got a Thrusmaster Steering Wheel today for PC and Xbox 360, having a blast with it. However in Demul specifically the arcade (Naomi, Atomiswave, Hikaru) I was able to map the steering wheel easily with left and right stick, but I've tried all the buttons and can't map the gas and brake. Is it not possible? There's a few cool racers like Faster Than Speed, Maximum Speed, Star Wars Racer, Sega Nascar that I'd like to use it on.  

The thing I find odd is it lets me map them with no problem in controls but when I launch the games no go vroom vroom.  Since it doesn't say, I don't know which buttons would be gas/brake but I've mapped all the buttons on the wheel and none of them make it go.

I always make a thread like this and then figure it out right after. It was analog up and down which I didn't suspect. 

Highly recommend getting a steering wheel for any racing fan.

Hi,  I have only now found Demul for Hikaru and am trying to match my xbox360 steering wheel for Star Wars Racer and Nascar.

I figured out steering - gas and breaks on nasca but can't figure out which buttons would map to changing gears and then with star wars racer i wasn't even sure what functions where available to map buttons to any way  what settings to you apply to demul to get them playing best?

From what I've read, even if you do get the gears mapped (which is actually done in player-2), you have to hold that gear button to stay in that gear.  iirc, it was digital up/left for 1st gear, digital down/left for 2nd, digital up for 3rd and digital down for 4th.

Never tried it myself as I always select automatic for any racing game.
