I tested with the Controller Test within 240p Test Suite. Everything looked like it should for a well-functioning wheel.Impacto wrote:Have you tested every racing gane?

And I do plan on testing those two popular racers.

Walmart actually has it for $20 less at $99.99
https://www.walmart.com/ip/1Y2VBOA1F5MS ... gn_id=9383
I was thinking of getting an Xbox 360/Xbox One compatible wheel to then use the WingmanSD with for Dreamcast. I'm woefully unknowledgeable about wheels though.

HORI also makes an Xbox X/S / One wheel (Overdrive Series). With the Xbox version of their wheel you can't configure from the wheel (deal breaker), you have to use the HORI app from the Windows Store. Plus, I'm not sure it will work the WingmanSD. The Playstation version emulates a wired Xbox 360 in PC mode, which is exactly what we want. It works on Win7, the Xbox version requires Win10+. The Playstation version is the way to go for best Dreamcast compatibility. On the PC side, I plan on using the wheel with emulators like PCSX2, PPSSPP and Dolphin, so the wheel will be performing double duty for me.

Re: This racing controller works with the Dreamcast!
That's great to hear, thanks for trying it out! I have a deadzone mod on the way for my Race Controller, but otherwise I would have gone ahead with this.
Do you know if there's much input lag? That's one of the reasons why I didn't try the WingmanSD with a wheel in the first place - apparently it introduces enough lag to have a deadzone-like effect.

Re: This racing controller works with the Dreamcast!
I get what you're saying. I just have way more driving/racing games on Xbox 360/One than on PS4. I think I only have Crash Team Racing and Grand Turismo 7 on PS4, so an older wheel that also works on Xbox 360 that I can get to work on Dreamcast via the WingmanSD would be best for me. Like the Hori Pro V Kai stick I have.MoeFoh wrote:Good catch on the sale price.DCGX wrote:Walmart actually has it for $20 less at $99.99

Re: This racing controller works with the Dreamcast!
That old official Microsoft branded 360 wireleess racing wheels used to be really good, though nowadays most high-end wheels surpass it. I know I was enamored with that wheel like 15 years ago and just forgot about it over time. I bet you could maybe find one nowadays for under $50. They used to be priced at $100 brand new I believe.DCGX wrote:Walmart actually has it for $20 less at $99.99

I see some listed here for that price. Honestly, that sounds like a hell of a deal for a quality built wheel to me. Though if looking to spend more you can get all kinds of good wheels.

Re: This racing controller works with the Dreamcast!
No, I'm not feeling any input lag or seeing any as with F355 where close-up of the wheel is shown. The wheel is performing beyond my expectations. The only change from defaults is I moved wheel sensitivity up one notch from 4 to 5. I'm also using the latest beta firmware for WingmanSD (1.4n)OlivusPrime wrote:That's great to hear, thanks for trying it out!

I owe you one, DCGX. Amazon just credited my account with a $20 gift card, after I told them Walmart has it for $20 less.DCGX wrote:Walmart actually has it for $20 less at $99.99
