Playstation2 - Is it possible to use LWFF - the "old" USB one?

Anyone know? Thanks, Thomas

Nope... it will not work Thomas - I tried it with my LWFF USB and it didn't even recognize that there was another controller hooked up to it. Picked up a LWFF GP used, and it did work with the PS2, at least with Gran Turismo 3. It's nowhere near the wheel the older LWFF is, however :-( John Cauthen

Galley, Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the LWFF *GT* (the one that's marketed with GT3) cable or 'belt' driven? Someone pointed this out to me in another thread on this newsgroup. In his mind, it justified the additional cost of the LWFF GT. John Cauthen > -- > Stuff You Gotta Have > software for BeOS and PalmOS > http://www.stuffyougottahave.com/

Yes, the Force GT wheel is gear driven. -- Stuff You Gotta Have software for BeOS and PalmOS http://www.stuffyougottahave.com/

The old LWFF was cable driven <RIP> The newer LWFF-GP is gear driven. Haven't looked into one of this PS-blue rim wheels yet, but to me it looks like gear-driven too. JensSchumi On Mon, 6 Aug 2001 21:58:51 -0400, "John Cauthen" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Still, I hate to let my "old" LWFF cable driven "masterpice" out of the loop. Surely somehow it must be possible to use it? Without force feedback then? I�m borrowing a ps2 with GT3 to have some fun, and I hoped to be able to use my lovely wheel :( saaad indeed.

I tried using my Logitech Wingman formula non force yellow grips with no luck :( The power and select lights would turn on but the configuration screen would not recognize it. Oh well I'm getting pretty good with the game pad anyway, hehe DB "Thomas Heineman" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:JKjc7.13206$[email hidden]...
