[CUBE] Logitech Speed Force FF wheel - support?

[Mr Ono]

The Cube version of our favourite wheel is now on pre-order at Yesasia at a decent price too.

Anyone know which games support the FF?

Probably Audto Modellista US Tuned.

[Papercut]

Be aware that this wheel has been available in the uk at HMV for months. I can't remember the price exactly, but it'll be somewhere in the ?40 - ?60 range.

Might be cheaper than suffering shipping fees, and there might be an external psu you'd need a stepdown for.

[JibberX]

Erm if this is the same as the PS2 one, does it have a kind of usb adapter?

[Papercut]

Its not the same as the PS2 one. It'll use the standard GameCube controller connector.

?46.99 from gameplay:

which would almost certainly be cheaper than importing.

damn your eyes for reminding me about this, I should have teh Zero by the weekend, and my will is weak...

Cos you might find out that:

Logitech? Force Feedback Wheel for GameCube:

Downtown Run (Ubi Soft)
Hot Wheels? Velocity X (THQ Inc/Beyond Games)
Need For Speed? Hot Pursuit 2 (Electronic Arts Inc.)
Paris-Dakar Rally 2 (Acclaim)
Pro Rally 2002 (Ubi Soft Entertainment)
Rally Championship? (SCi Games/Warthog)
Speed Challenge (Ubi Soft)

But yeah, F-zero on FF might be to novel to miss.

[Papercut]

actually, that supported titles list makes the logitech wheel easier to avoid

* edit * gah, the picture of the laughing ape in that first link certainly does

[Mr Ono]

Ah right.

I didn't realise it was already out for the Cube over here.

I don't think I'll bother anyway. The Cube has no exceptional driving games that I don't already have on PS2 or XB.


Any news on an XB version?

[JibberX]

I'm thinking there must be a USB adaptor, and trying it that way.

So get the USB PS2 wheel, and a bevey of adaptors, and yer off.

[Papercut]

Hmm cheeky, they charge an extra ?20 for the pedals. I bet you could only get them from the logitech site too. Maybe the PS2 GT Force pedals would work with the GCN Force wheel...

[Papercut]

I'm thinking there must be a USB adaptor, and trying it that way.

I'm fairly sure there isn't... but it'd be nice to be wrong, what with Initial D crying out for a wheel too

[Papercut]

Any news on an XB version?

The Xbox controller ports are just USB with extra power pins and a funny connector. It would be pretty easy to hook up a PS2 GT Force wheel to an Xbox.

The only problem would the compatibility. Like the PS2, games would have to explicitly add support for the wheel.

[Mr Ono]

I think if any console is crying out for a decent FF wheel it's the XB.

Probably M$ waiting for their own Sidewinder range to be released.

[Commander Marklar]

Burnout 2 also supports the FF wheel, didn't see it mentioned
