I obtained a handlebars and controls game unit to use for parts and see what is inside. It is called race moTor It is a good quality "toy" and plugs into USB connection. I tried it with Castrol Honda Superbike World Champion (yr 2000) but the steering would not keep it on the track, the little control available was eratic.
I am looking for any information on what games this control may work with and whether it could work with X-sim, significant modification is possible. Any information on dismantling would be appreciated.
