As of 153 the output code for outrun has been accepted, so various sega games from that era now have their "deluxe" motors hooked up, which equates to more than simple rumble.

I'm still working crazy hours, but a few weeks from now I should be able to take a day off work and dedicate some time to implementing some of this new stuff and updating this thread. Or preferably creating a dedicated and stickied MAMEhooker thread where lists of games with working outputs and script examples can be maintained. I want it to be an organized guide though with all the info in the first few posts, not buried in a hodgepodge of people chiming in with random tidbits and questions.

I figured as such. It's bad timing on my part really. When everyone was raring to go and snowed in, I got sick. Now that I'm better everyone has real world obligations again. ;)
Honestly I've got to mess with outrun a bit myself to figure out the best implementation. Mamehooker wasn't this far along when I started on that driver those years ago. ;)

Hey guys, great thread!! I'm just getting into the build/conversion of my stand-up Sega Outrun cab I picked-up for $50.00 a few weeks back. This has been a great resource for me so far. I ended up buying the Ultimarc A-pac to interface my steering wheel and pedal pots and I'm not happy with it. I can't get it to work with Outrun 2 Coast to Coast PC version. Is the U-HID a better choice? There isn't much information out there about it as far as I can find. I don't mind spending the money on it if its good.
My so far has had all the original guts removed, I cut about 10" or so of depth off the back of the cab, installed a 24" LCD and a pretty decent computer (i7-4770 Haswel proc, 8GB RAM, and GTX 560-TI 1GB card. Windows 7 x64. I have a thread going at vpforums in the Mame section but plan to make a build thread here as well.

Outrun Coast to Coast can be annoying to set up, but the APAC should work.
The big thing I remember is that at some point it asks you to press either enter or confirm, but it wants you to press a different button than you've used in every other screen. Search the forum. There might be a better explanation somewhere.
Also, a lot of the old PC games prefer the pedals to both be on the same axis. This is why the menus will scroll without you touching the controls in some games. If the pedals are combined, it doesn't.
There is a way to wire the pedal potentiometers to one input to accomplish this, but I don't have a diagram handy.
The U-HID wouldn't be any different than the A-Pac.

Well you are pretty spot on because when I first tried to set it up (Outrun C2C), I had the auto scrolling going on. I did change the wiring on the A-pac so the steering wheel was on the "first" A-pac controller, then the two pedals are X and Y on the "Second" A-pac controller. That stopped the scrolling but when I went to setup the controls, I can select steering wheel then move the wheel and it sees the axis but there is no way to confirm. I had to alt-F4 out of the game. I figured it was something buggy with the A-pac. I'll search the forums more for that. Thanks for the tip
