This is probably an old topic?

Is it true that microsoft don't make an FF wheel for their own gaming console?

I can't seem to find one...i don't understand

If it's anything like the PS2 then any USB wheel will work.

They didn't no, and there are no usb ports to plug a PS2 one into (we are talking about an original xbox here right?), a couple of cheap and nasty ones were made for the original XBox, although there's supposed to be a good one coming for the 360.

Indeed. An unmodified XBox does not have USB ports, although in actuality the controller ports are actually USB ports and a modified XBox can easily gain proper USB ports.

That's not really relevant though, I guess.

Bottom line is that the XBox is indeed poorly-served for Force Feedback wheels.

Best advice is to get a second-hand PS2, a copy of GT4, and a Logitech Driving Force.

Edit: Unfortunately Amazon have hiked their price on the Driving Force. I bought mine for £25 a few months back, but they appear to have raised the price to almost £35 now, making it somewhat less of a bargain.

I've got a PS2 and GT4, but i don't have a wheel that works with the PS2 either.

I have a Microsoft FF USB wheel for the PC and I am just amazed i can't make it work with my x-box, or there isn't another one available.

Are you suggesting that i can install a usb port on my xbox and then be able to use my force feedback wheel? I can't believe MS left out FF for the sake of a USB!
