What version of mame started implementing outputs? I've got .106 and MameHooker shows nothing for DigDug or Q*Bert (my main goal). Or i might be that I"m just a brick shy of a full load.

The tutorials on the site are based around digdug. Qbert is similar.
I'm not sure what version of mame started implementing outputs, but if you are on 106 you might as well upgrade to the most recent version, there shouldn't be any noticable speed hit.

New year bump!

Howard, wondering if you could weigh on something I'm working on. I wrote a quick vb app to implement FFB just so I could continue working on implementing outputs in MAME. The first major driver (namcos22) I'm working on has an interesting quirk that I'd like your input on. The wheel vibration magnitude is based on 6 bits of a 32 bit integer. However those bits first need to be flipped (001111 to 110000) and then reversed (110000 > 000011) in order to get a meaningful value. The flipping is straight forward enough but reversing the bit order takes a loop and I'm wondering if the MAME devs are going to accept that. If they don't then Mamehooker would have to handle that somehow. Any thoughts on how to hanlde this ... which is to say ... how feasible it would be to support bit reversal in Mamehooker?
Howard_Casto:
I think I would have to understand, the actual values you are getting a little more.
Could you show me the minimum and maximum values unaltered?
Btw... mame might have a LSB (least significant bit) function because it's often necessary to reverse data.
Adding bit reversal would be trivial, I can add it to the math functions..... but let's see if we can fix the data in mame first.
