This is not me.  Just a vid I found.

 However, its not exactly good.  Hes using cheats.. such as the increased low-gear speed to outrun cars...
extra men every 10,000 instead of the default 30,000.   And I believe an unlimited Oil cheat.

 It appears hes using a gamepad or cabinet with a standard joystick and buttons.   You can tell this because
of the sounds, as well as the jerkiness of the gameplay.   As good as he is, he can barely keep it together...
and he cant handle the icy roads, for example, because he simply does not have enough control.

 If he actually used a pedal and wheel set... he could probably do really well.  Hes got good reflexes.. but the controller problem is clearly hampering him.

 Sadly, mame currently has no option for  locked-in-place  switches.  This is why we cant easily use real arcade shifters... nor make our own shifters that function the same as arcade shifters.

 Mame's games are set up to auto-toggle... and that mode Sucks for shifter games.

 Because nobody who works on mame knows how to appreciate a good game of Spy Hunter (for example) with the proper controls... we have to suffer with substandard and non-accurate input methods.

I think this is really odd, since the MAME devs in almost every other part of the emulation prioritize correct emulation before gameplay. Why did they choose to do like this for the shifters?

That's a nice broad generalization. If only there was a way for you to edit Mame source code...

 According to some Devs, its EASY for a person to learn to program, and make mame drivers... yet,
no Dev seems capable of being able to figure out how to enable multiple methods of shifter inputs into a driver.

 Of course, you have Devs like Haze, who think all the games are fine to play with an xbox controller... and that they should look like that Video I posted where the persons controls are so bad, that it makes the game feel / look like someone is playing while having a seizure.
