I know you can't use these with NFS, but was wondering if there was a way to use a standard Y-cable. Cut it up, and patch the y-axis of Joy 1 into the pedals? The y-cable won't let you use all the buttons and things, but all ya need is x and y axis for NFS anyways. Please help on this if you can. I believe it will work!!!! Jive p.s. thanx!

If you're talking about the CH Pro Pedals, yes, this is theoretically possible. I've dissected my Pro Pedals plus drawn out schematics of where I am (joystick plus Pro Pedals) and where I want to go. You're belief that you can hitch the pedals in as the y-axis input should be straight forward. If the y-cable carries +5, ground, x-axis, y-axis, and the four joystick buttons, then as long as you're careful, you should be able to maintain all the buttons as well. I have enough 15-pin D-sub's to make my y-harness. However I'd like to use the accelerator/brake function of the Pro Pedals, not the rudder function. And on the Pro Pedals, when you flip the function switch to accelerator/brake, the pedals become x-axis (forward only) and y-axis (one direction only). So I have to rewire the Pro Pedals to get them to be NFS-compatible. - Collier

Actually I was talking about the standard pedals from CH, not the pro. Do you know where I can get a joystick pin listing? I was going to use the accelerato/brake also. Have you gotten this to work, or are you in the stages of getting it to work? Jive
