starmaster Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I installed the Mame core in Retroarch and tested couple of racing games like California Speed, Cruis 'n' USA and Cruis ' n' World, etc. Games load ups fine and I found out that using the 8bitdo with analog makes steering too extreme to the left or right. I tried to adjust the deadzone and Analog sensitivity in Retroarch but it seems to make no difference. I also try out the Analog to digital with different settings. Nothing works either. I researched online and it seems that racing wheels might work out but they are too costly, $200+. I would be fine with steering on the D-pad on the controller but it doesn't work. Is there another way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Sorry I can't give you anything specific but first off I would highly recommend using stand alone Mame over the RA core. Retroarch's control stuff interferes with Mames and causes issues. Second, here is a link to a guide I did on setting up Star Wars to use a flight stick and while it's not exactly the same thing it does have some of the same control issues with sensitivity and they need to be tweaked in Mames controller settings. 1 hour ago, starmaster said: I researched online and it seems that racing wheels might work out but they are too costly, $200+. You can get much cheaper non force feedback wheels which are actually fine for use with Mame and most emulated driving games since they do no support force feedback anyways. I have seen mention of a FFB plugin and I have tried to get it work with Mame but had no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmaster Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 Thanks for the reply Lordmonkus, I could switch over to the Mame standalone and set up the settings. Does that mean I have to adjust the settings for each racing game? Will the non force feedback wheels just plug and play without fiddling with the settings? If it does, can you please recommend couple of those racing wheels as I never had one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you would have to set up each game though you may get lucky and only have to setup the analog controls once and have it work. 2 minutes ago, starmaster said: Will the non force feedback wheels just plug and play without fiddling with the settings? You will have to tweak settings in Mame but the wheel should just work, it is just seen as an Xinput controller device with analog axis and digital buttons. 4 minutes ago, starmaster said: can you please recommend couple of those racing wheels as I never had one? Something like the Thrustmaster T80 would be the once I would suggest for a low budget non FFB wheel. https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Ferrari-Racing-Wheel-playstation-4/dp/B077MT5XPP?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1 There are cheaper wheels out there but I really would advise against those.

starmaster Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 Thank you for your speedy reply, I will test Mame standalone for the racing games. The Thrustmaster wheel looks great, I will consider it. Thank you for your time, advice and support, keep up the good work, sir! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
