Saitek GTZ500 GameCube Wheel - what games support it?

Post by alzen » Fri May 24, 2013 8:41 pm

As in subject, just bought almost brand new Saitek GTZ500 GameCube Wheel for the cube. The question is, which games support it with pedals?

I tried Burnout but it doesn't support pedals(I can only drive with A/B).

Anyone knows any better choices? Guess Mario Kart will do the job but how about NFS:HP2, anyone tried?

I think F-Zero GX works with it. Something about a pedal and wheel thing was mentioned in the instruction manual.

(If you build your own chair to go with it, you can get the full AX experience at home!)

I could have sworn that Burnout 2 supports the pedals but it has been so long ago. I have the Logitech steering wheel and pedals.

Sucked at F-Zero GX with the wheel, nothing beats the controller, Mario Kart was okay for a while

Hmm, I found some kind of games list designed to support Logitech wheel for GC:

4x4 Evolution(tm) 2 by Universal Interactive, Inc.
NASCAR® Thunder(tm) 2003 by Electronic Arts
Need For Speed(tm): Hot Pursuit 2 by Electronic Arts
Hot Wheels(tm): Velocity X by THQ
PRO RALLY® 2002 by Ubi Soft Entertainment
Burnout 2: Point of Impact (tm) by Acclaim
Dakar 2: The World's Ultimate Rally By Acclaim
F-Zero® GX by Nintendo
Mario Kart® Double Dash(tm) by Nintendo
NASCAR HEAT 2: Dirt to Daytona by Atari
NASCAR® Thunder(tm) by Electronic Arts
Need For Speed(tm) Underground by Electronic Arts
Need For Speed(tm) Underground 2 by Electronic Arts
R: Racing Evolution by Namco
Rally Championship by SCi Games Ltd.
Street Racing Syndicate by Namco
The Simpsons(tm) Hit & Run by Vivendi Universal
V-Rally(tm) 3 by Atari

I guess all of them should support pedals as well in my model. Probably I will try some of them.

New obserwations:

Lego Drome Racers: this game gets crazy with this wheel, has some problems with pedals making button A or START pressed all the time by the game. Unplayable.

Monster 4x4: Masters of Metal: All ok, but as this wheel cannot imitate grey analog stick up/down movement(or at least I didn't know how to make this actions on this wheel) you cannot choose all the options in menu.

Auto Modelista: Absolutly perfect choice for this wheel! Awesome game and awesome compatibility(just choose "C" controller config to drive and stop with pedals).

Burnout: Works perfectly(forget what I've written in the first post :lol: ) , just need to select alternative gamepad button configuration.
