      I’ve got 4 dragonrise arcade controllers mapped in port 1-4 that all work perfectly; have decided to try and add a usb steering wheel in port 5. The inputs are recognised and saved but it won’t work in game? I’ve noticed that when configuring it in port 5 in retroarch, all the values on the left hand side say “N/A”.

      The only way I’ve found around it is to only use 3 arcade joysticks in ports 1-3 and add the steering wheel in port 4, but this obviously means then 1 arcade stick doesn’t work. Is this a limitation of MAME?

      Thanks

        @pauloc which core are you using exactly? I believe mame2003 only supports 4. mame2003-plus should work with 8.

          @mahoneyt944 good question, I think it is 2003 actually: will try 2003+ and report back. Thanks a lot
