yah! nuther player. Depends on a great many things what type of joystick to get. KEYBOARD DOES work if you are comfortable 'bapping' the arrow keys stead of holding them down to steer... I got the Seitek P880 for my WinXP box and it works GREAT for MAME and everything else. It's $20 most places. It has TWO analog sticks [sort of PS2 looking] and those work great for proportional accel/brake steering/lean.
Practice up and enjoy! Some guy at the local race shop claimed it helped him pick his lines better on the REAL track.
