USB Steering Wheel on DC

[Dreamcast Diehard]

Hi,

I noticed that someone had left a post earlier about USB adapters to the DC.

I have a USB-based steering wheel that I desperately want to use on Daytona, etc.

Does anyone know of any successful "Mods", etc for creating a compatible connection between the DC and USB controllers?

Thanks in advance!!!

If there isn't a commercial product that changes USB-DC controller (and I've certainly never heard of one) then it'll be very difficult, you might as well forget about it unless you've got serious technical skills.

no.

that was not a real usb converter, just a ps/2 converter. For pc mouse's and keyboards.

They aren't too expensive if you look around.

But there are USB to PS2 converters.

So DC to PS2 Converter, then PS2 to USB

I have thought about using this configuration:

USB to PS/2 converter attached to a PS/2 to DC converter.

I hesitated at spending the money to buy all of the components to try it (including the $100 for the wheel itself).

Is there any idea as to whether this would actually work?

It will not work, those USB->PS/2 adapters just put the mouse or keyboard into backward-compatable PS/2 mode, they don't actually 'convert' USB to PS/2.
