Shiftermame. Help me understand...
(1/3) > >>
vintagegamer:
I think I have the hang of MAME configurations for the most part, as I've been able to run games successfully using both v.90 and MAME32.  However, Shiftermame is messing with my head.

I can get the car to steer in PP, however when I hit the gas there is a loud screeching, the car moves for mayyyyyyybe 5 secs, and then stops.  No matter what I do in the control menus, I can't get beyond this.  I also can't get the shifter to work (even though in the control mapping it does 'see' the shifter).

Do I need to d/l a specific copy of the PP rom for it to work with Shiftermame?  I just wanna take advantage of the supposed shifter tweak that is claimed to be in this version of the MAME build.

Thanks!

I'm no expert, but it sounds like you have the gas a brake mapped to the same button.

Thanks HC, I'd wondered the same, so I tried my best to make sure I had anything brake-related turned off.  It still did it anyway.  I'm sure it's something stupid that I'm doing wrong.

Does it work properly when using a keyboard  or un-hacked mouse instead?

No special rom required, but shiftermame was based on mame .125.
Major changes were done at .119 & .138, so any rom from .119-.137 should be fine.

Good question- I did not try playing it with just the board last night- I'll try that and will also see if I can find a newer copy of the ROMs as well.
