    Been looking for both of these for a while now without much success, delivery always makes ebay a no go :(

    Anyways, I'm looking for the official versions of the DC wheel and arcade stick, I've plenty of stuff I could trade up on adverts. A Nes and games, few N64 games, a ton of PS2 stuff, probably more that's not there as well.

    There was a Dreamcast stick on adverts very recently.

    Ah, just checked and it's gone :(

    Got mine from Console Passion. Was about €30-something delivered. Worth a check to see if they have more in stock. Cheaper than eBay...

    Cheers Pyongyang, but they're sold out. I almost bought the wheel from them but they wanted more for postage than for the thing itself :(

    I might have a Dreamcast wheel in the attic ... nearly sure I do. I'll check this evening and see.

    Have you anything from the 8-bit era to swap?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,345 ✭✭✭landsleaving


    I have a Nes, Mario Bros, Mega Man 2, RC Pro-Am. Bubble Bobble and a 4-player adapter if any of them take your fancy?

    OK ... sorry for the delay in responding, pesky Real Life.

    I found the wheel, it needs dusting & cleaning. As far as I can remember, it's the first gen wheel, with the flappy paddles and VMU slot.
    There is a VMU in it, which might just have some Crazy Taxi game saves on it.

    I'll hook it up to my Dreamcast, see if it still works, and post back.

    There's a DIN port on the back of the wheel, it's not labelled, and I'm not sure what it's for ... any ideas? I don't remember needing a power supply or anything other than the controller lead.

    I'd guess the port is for pedals, not sure what else it could be really.

    If it works what would you be interested in trading?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,980 ✭✭✭trout


    Mixed news ... the wheel works fine, but the flappy paddles are stiff, and one of them doesn't return properly when pressed.

    With luck, it might just be dust/dirt on the return mechanism. I'll bust out the compressed air and have a go at it cleaning it tomorrow night.

    Fingers crossed.
