Will the PS1 steering will work for GT4?

Will the PS1 steering will work for GT4? I have a friend that is willing to lend me his PS1 wheel, but I'm not sure if it'll work. It's not force feedback. Thanks.

Ok, the steering wheel is a interact V3. I can only get the digital to work, but not the analog. Which make the car really hard to drive. Anyway to get the analog to work? Thanks.

No, doesn't work. I tried it with GT3, and it didn't work at all. SO, I would say go for at least a DF if a DFP is out of the question.

One of the biggest differences between the PS1 and the PS2 is the matter of the PS2 having all analog buttons. What this means [for you] is, you have to find a way to modify the wheel so it's left and right signals (wheel --> PS2) are recognized as if they are coming from the left analog stick of a Dual Shock controller. My best advice for this is to take apart a PS1 controller and fond the wire that goes from the analog stick to the PS2 plug in and then switch the wire accordingly on the wheel's plug.
I'll simplify it...
Say that you took apart the PS1 controller and found the wire from the analog stick...so you follow it to the plug-in part that connects to the PS2. This wire is in a certain slot on the plug. Soooo ... what you need to do is take the wire that is on the wheel (from the wheel itself) and put it into the slot that corresponds to the analog stick in the plug part.

Hope that helped.

And BTW, I take no responsibility if you mess up, if it this setup messes up your PS2.

Best of luck,

Thanks for the replies. The wheel is not mine, it's my friend's, so I can't mod that. I found a wheel that's $30, will it work for GT4? I don't need force feedback, I just need more precise steering and throttle control and I don't have $100+ to spend on a DFP.

Here's the wheel I'm thinking about.

I have the same wheel for my xbox. its the best wheel available for that price. of course i didnt consider that i might end up buying a ps2 when i got the wheel so I didnt get the universal one.

the coolest feature is the adjustable dead zones built into the wheel, so you can make it a sensitive as you want.

Cool. Thanks for the replies. I will get the wheel this weekend, hopefully.
