Racing wheel consoles for JJ2?
 
A few years ago, my dad has bought me the Thrustmaster Universal Challange Racing Wheel [IMG]http://www.itsvet.com/img/obj/articles/000/000/004/556/02.jpg[/IMG]
I've played lots of games with it, such as Need For Speed: Porche Unleashed. I found it yesterday and downloaded NFS Porche again. But i accidently came across that i can move Jazz (Spaz) left and right by moving the wheel. Since there's a D-pad on my wheel, i also randomly pressed buttons and found the shooting button, jump and change ammo button. But somehow though, jj2 doesn't seem to recodnise my wheel as a joystick, so i can't change the properties. While playing with the wheel, i can't look up or down, thus no stomping and special moves.
So here's the fact: Is there any way i can ajust the settings of this thing for jj2? And if not, is it possible to code out something to recodnise this? :P

Cool that you found it again :D Maybe you could use third party software to configure your wheel. I don't know many of those software but maybe you could try JoyToKey (can't give up a link because of the rule that I need just 1 more post to post links lool) or something like that.
I hope this will help xd

Set it up with Joy2Key and use it to run the bonus stages in JJ1 :P

The question begs though: Why would you want to use a racing wheel controller for a sidescrolling shooter other than the novelty factor?

Extra challenge for people who've mastered the game.

No! No! And no. I don't want to move using the steering wheel. Look at the picture. I just want to use the buttons.
Although, it would be a nice challange to play with the wheel.
EDIT:
Also

That's a nice idea. Although, the controls when playing the bonus levels are already sensitive, so it would be really hard to play with this thing.

I remember having a steering wheel somewhere in 2000 or 2001 and I tried to use it with JJ2 so a third person could play in split screen mode. Mine didn't have that much buttons though, but they were recognized in JJ2.
