GT3 and the Act Labs Wheel

Does anyone own the Act Labs USB RS engine and GT3? I'd love to know if this wheel will work with the PS2 and GT3. I'm fairly sure that the RS and Logitech wheels use the same underlying technology.

Hello, I am guessing that you are asking about the PSX cartridge? If so, then no, it does not work with the PS2.

Almost but no. The new Logitech wheel for the PS2 is USB based and is just their PC wheel with a GT emblem. I'm wondering whether your USB cartridge will work with the PS2. Maybe someone in house can give it a quick run through and see what happens?

I also tried using my ACT LABS RS, equipped with the PSX engine (cartridge) with F1 Championship Season 2001 on the PS2, and it didn't recognize it. John Cauthen "Raymond, ACT LABS" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

That's what I'd like to know about. I'm guessing not, but you never know.

says... I didn't think you could use any wheel with F1 Championship Season for PS2. Chris

I don't have a USB engine for my RS, and I also don't have Grand Turismo 3, so I really can't speak to your question, specifically. I'm told that the regular LWFF USB wheel works with Grand Turismo. I've got that wheel, but not the game so again, I can't say from first hand experience. John

Doh! You're absolutely right Chris. It's been so long since I played that lackluster game that I had forgotten that it won't even support a PS2 specific wheel - what was their reasoning with that!? John

Does anyone know if the Logitech PS2 wheel will work on a PC ? That way it could serve double duty. It has a USB connector I believe.Do PC's require special drivers in order to recognise a FF wheel, or does windows DirectX automatically see it ?

You will need to download the drivers from logitech's web site though, as the PS2 wheel does not ship with any.
