Outrun on MAME0151 and mamehooker: a first attempt
baritonomarchetto:
Hi,
I was toying for the first time with mamehooker. I am planing to place a rumble motor on my wheel to reproduce a shaker effect, similar to that of Outrun.
I am following Howard tutorial for that (a good program is nothing without a good documentation, so thanks for your efforts man).
After verify that my controller was supported (Xbox360 controller) and linked to mamehooker (i had the rumble motors working after the launch test) i switched to the "ping" part of the tutorial (mame outputs detection). With my outrun running in windowed mode, i "simulated" a crash and some offroad drive but i had no ping at all (even if mamehooker reported the game to be launched, so it was seing the game). I must say that i was also waiting for the lamp of the start button to pop up, but nothing.
I made then a try with a game i know is supported: chase HQ. Well, no problems at all with this game, the lamps where immediately detected and the "ping" sound could be heard.
so my question, at this point, is: is Outrun supported or not? Can mamehooker be used for the shacker motor control?
Thanks!! :)
Howard_Casto:
That's because outrun's outputs aren't hooked up. I have a patch for an old version of mame floating around, but they changed the sega drivers shortly afterwards. I've never submitted a patch since.
You might want to look at Cannonball..... it's a 100% faithful port of outrun to the pc made via reverse engineering and supports force feedback.
baritonomarchetto:
Ah, that's why!
Howard, 1000 dollars question :angel:: do you plan to hook up the new drivers for outrun (and toutrun as a consequence)? I know Cannonball and i LOVE it, but it's a "mess" MAME outrun could not take advantage from your great piece of code!!!
May i hope in a future integration? :notworthy:
:)
