--- Quote from: hiljak on July 10, 2014, 04:45:54 pm ---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

You just have to find the right button to confirm. It's a different one than the button that is used for confirm in every other menu.
I think it might be called select instead. IIRC it was the right paddle shifter for me. I'm not sure which button that would be on the ipac, but they're both direct input devices, so it should work the same.
Having them show up as separate controllers is probably going to be an issue on some older games.
What sucks is that having combined pedals doesn't work on Model 2 emulator which is THE emulator to have in a driving cab.
You could probably work around it using x360ce and enabling xinput in emulator.ini since you don't have force feedback anyway.
Actually it's still possible to have rumble, which might work out with an Outrun wheel.

Hi and thanks for all the information you provide here. I'm about to finish to restore a upright Final Lap cabinet that was in really bad shape. I've rebuilt it to a general cab and fitted separate brake and accelerator, sequence shifter, start button and four "view" buttons. One of my all time favorites are Outrun., but I've got problems with the pedal setup for this one in MAME. When I setup the pedals as analogue, Outrun seems to recognize the Pedal as half way pressed, when it's not pressed. So the car will always accelerate about 50% of max, without stepping on it. Do you have any idea?

What type of pedals or interface are you using?
Sounds like a combined/separate axis pedal issue
or just not having the game calibrated in the service menu of the game.

I have "standard" 5k pot pedals on separate axis. I use A-pac. Is there an in-game calibration within Outrun in MAME?

In nearly all the driving games in MAME, you will need to enter the service menu to calibrate the controls.
For most games it's just a matter of pressing the service button (default in MAME is F2) and then figuring out how the original controls were used to navigate the menu (varies by game)
On some older games, there a DIP switch would need to be flipped before turning on the game. In the MAME menu, there is a DIP switch settings section. Flip the switch in there, restart the game, make your adjustments, then flip the switch back off so next time the game starts it doesn't go into service mode again.
