Damn - that's a truly fine build. Original, polished and high spec..... One of the finest builds I've seen in a while... You have posted this over @ byoac, right?

Love your setup, attention to detail matched with some amazing craftsmanship!

I can vouch for the Driving Force GT! Really good wheel and at a bargain price nowadays too. I'm using it in my cab with MAME, DeMUL, Supermodel, M2 and PC (via Steam). Most MAME driving games play well. If a game was originally fitted with an optical wheel though, it can be difficult to get it set up correctly. Some pictures of it in my cab here that may be of help/inspiration to you.

I want to second this recommendation. I started looking at these after it got the nod from stigz, and while I haven't had a chance to plug this up to my gaming rig, I did become completely absorbed in GT5 last night on my PS3. The experience is completely different with this wheel. I was a doubter without question, as I once purchased a Thurstmaster Formula T2; which was quite popular back in the day, but it always seemed lacking to me. The Driving Force GT is an entirely different world, and takes the driving experience to the next level. Most definitely a game changer! Had to watch several for a decent deal, but ended up picking it up used on ebay for $75 USD including shipping. Looks like I'll be building a mount so I can incorporate it into the rotation on ToddZilla.

You mentioned in tbe OP about creating the necessary xml files. Not knowing if you used either version of GameEx or not, the info was offered as an alternative means for creating the xml for use in PinballX based upon your MAME version and working ROMs. Can you please attach copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files for review? Will need to see the log file after attempting to launch a MAME game.
