PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS

  • CONNECTION/INSTALLATION
    To connect the UltraRacer to your PlayStationä console, switch your console to the “OFF” position. Insert the UltraRacer plug into the game console port. If you are playing with one player you must connect the controller to the player one connector port.
  • FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
    The UltraRacer simulates all the same functions as the Namco NeGconä controller, it also has some new features. The new SET feature allows you to relocate 10 of the 15 buttons to better accommodate your personal gaming needs.

Button Relocation Function

All buttons on the UltraRacer have relocation ability except the “analog L1″ ,”I” , “II”, “start”, and “set/program”. The buttons that are able to relocate can be assigned to perform the action done by any button with a default function assigned. The “I”, and “II” button functions can be “swapped” using the Swap Control Switch.

Programming Button Relocation:
  • To assign one button (i.e. “A”) to perform another button function of (i.e. “B”): Press and hold the SET button for about 1 second to enter the “FUNCTION SETUP MODE”, the FUNCTION SETUP LED indicator will illuminate and two beeps will be heard.
  • Press the button (i.e. “A”) you would like to reassign one time, the FUNCTION SETUP LED will blink once and a single beep will be heard.
  • Press the new, desired function (i.e. “B”) one time, the NORMAL LED indicator will illuminate instead of the FUNCTION SETUP LED. Two beeps will be heard. The setting process is now complete.
NOTE: Default setting – The Ultra Racer has non-volatile memory, meaning when the PlayStationä is turned off, your button configuration will NOT be lost. The UltraRacer will only return to its default setting when the buttons “R1”, “L2”, and “A” buttons are pressed at the same time while the UltraRacer is ON for about two seconds. The UltraRacer will also generate three beeps to acknowledge reset button configuration is set. To reset a particular relocated button, press the SET button and then press the relocated button twice. The button’s original function is used as a default button for further relocation.

Throttle Control Trigger

  • The Throttle Control Trigger (“I”) is located underneath the controller and controls the gas or brake pedal of your racing car. By pulling it backward with your index finger, you may control the power you add very precisely.

Steering Wheel

  • This wheel controls the analog left and right movement of the Namco NeGconä controller.

Digital Direction Control Buttons:

  • There are four Digital Direction Control Buttons that represent UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT. These four buttons can be programmed as other fire buttons.

Swap Control Switch

The Swap Control Switch can be used to interchange the functions of the “I” and the “II” buttons. By sliding the Swap Control Switch to the “I” position, the “I” will act as your acceleration, and the “II” button will act as your brake. By sliding the Swap Control Switch to the “II” positio,n the “I” button will act as your brake and the “II” button will act as your acceleration.
Note: The Swap Control Switch is designed to be used in games which use fire buttons “I” and “II” to control acceleration and/or brake.
