The ThrustMaster T1,T2, and the GP1 will work with Daytona USA, but you
have to go to the buttons option and change the first two options to
accelerate and brake (and you have to use the white or black adapter plug
that came with your racing controller).
I also agree with what someone else posted, the handling is really bad,
and on top of that, you have to set the controls every time you play,
Daytona USA does not save the controller settings on exit, and when you
re-run the game, the settings go back to its original defaults. THIS IS A
DEFINITE BUG! Sega should release a patch to fix the handling and
controller save options if they even hope to sell this or any future PC
software products!
