Option to turn hi/lo shifter toggle off added to official MAME build (v1.51)

(1/2) > >>

hap gave us a way to turn off the hi/lo toggle in the official MAME build.  :applaud:

From MAMEworld Emuchat forum:

--- Quote ---Ok, the toggle on hi/lo gearshift can now be turned off by editing the game cfg file. I won't add it to the MAME internal UI though.

From the MAME commits:

--- Quote ---Hardcoded toggled inputs (eg. simulated hi-lo gearshift-lock in racing games)...

--- Quote ---For example, to disable the toggle on the shifter in outrun, open /cfg/outrun.cfg and add toggle="no" to the port tag, like so:
<port tag=":SERVICE" type="P1_BUTTON1" mask="16" defvalue="0" toggle="no">

It will be in the next official one on http://www.mamedev.org/

0.150u1 if you get the interim updates and compile your own.
0.151 would be the next official main release.

Here is hap's diff file if you want to try to roll it into the current version v0.150

.151 is out and includes this feature.

To repeat how to use it:

--- Quote ---For example, to disable the toggle on the shifter in outrun, open /cfg/outrun.cfg and add toggle="no" to the port tag, like so:
<port tag=":SERVICE" type="P1_BUTTON1" mask="16" defvalue="0" toggle="no">

--- End quote ---

This will only make the game behave like it original did, so if you have a sequential shifter that returns to center, it's not going to help.
Most older games with a Hi/Lo shifter only had one switch.  If the Hi switch wasn't being pressed, the game would default to Lo (or vice versa).
If you have a Hi/Lo or H shifter that stays in gear, then this will solve the toggle issue for you.
