I wish I had an ID I've been looking for one for years.
Didn't you say in some other thread you're netbooting ID? I guess that could be the reason why you're not getting in to the game test menu. Try a different game image. Some of those decrypted images are wonky as hell. I had to go through three different F-Zero images before I found one that worked in an original cab (FZ.bin / CRC32: B567EF39).
As for the motor, there's a belt that turns the steering wheel. If that has slack, that could result in the steering feeling loose. I suggest you pull both steering wheels out and compare.
unfortunately not a twin !! and i was being a lazy bugger last night too hot here at the moment !
I had left this machine alone for along time now , I could definitely get into the games test menu before when netbooting so just found it strange and even loaded up multiple images. I'll route out the original credit board and original loom and see if that makes a difference ,I think I did make a mistake when I created this volume credit box thing, but it didn't really matter until now .
on the steering ,belt seems fine and tight and cogs all look ok and well greased,will take it apart anyway and clean and grease and reseat everything anyway .
I know going into the game test menu let you make adjusts on feedback intensity and you can also set offsets ,again its been too long since i did it any of this.
if all comes to all i'll hook back up the gd rom and see !
<trk>:I remember catching a big fat one and my friend said "throw it back in, that one already tastes like wood"
I don't see how the loom could make any difference. If you can't access the game test, then there's something wrong with how the game is loaded in to the memory. Netboot a different ID?
yeah I'm only grasping really ,I did try 2 different images and it was the same.
I'm trying to remember when i bothered to access the game test menu last ,think I have a n1 somewhere as well that I might test to see if i can access.

Hooked back in the credit board and can access the game test menu ok now switch Is probably too sensitive on the box /switch thing I hooked up.
Set offsets one feedback to 9 so feels about right to me now
Edit : because of stupid spell check
