Naoki is this the wheel that you own?
If so, then I hate to say it bro, but that is an extremely outdated wheel. It was released in August of 2000!, and was designed to work with windows 98 and from what I understand doesn't jive too well with Windows Vista or 7 apps. Naoki please PLEASE consider investing in another more updated wheel dude. The Logitech DFGT or G25 are fantastic for the money! They are much better models and if you want to spend a little more then perhaps wait for the newer Thrustmaster GT wheel.
I think it is a bit unfair to imply that just because El Semi's Model 2 emu doesn't work with EVERY SINGLE FFB wheels out there that it wasn't worth his time to implement it into the emu. The M2 emu has a very high compatibility rate for FFB wheel support. I for one, have thrown 3 three ffb wheels at Daytona....The ECCI, The Happ Controls, and the Frex FFB wheel....none of which belong to either the Logitech or Fanatec brand, and they have all worked no problems. I know many other users who have no problems as well, and who appreciate having FFB in the M2 emu. It seriously adds a SIGNIFICANT amount of enjoyment to playing Daytona and Sega Rally. I personally would not be playing it no where near as much as I have been if it was missing FFB, and El Semi has my sincere gratitude for putting it in.
I understand that putting FFB into MAME is quite a challenge and I know it's something that would be a burden to you guys so it's all good. But for stand alone emus I don't think it's an unfair request. I'm not saying FFB is something Bart T should put at the top of his priorities, but once he gets all the core dirty work out of the way, if he can somehow find time to implement it into Super Model, a lot of people including myself will be eternally grateful. Hell, I am already eternally grateful he is even taking on the project.
Go Bart! You rock dude!!!
