Outrun on MAME0151 and mamehooker: a first attempt
Xiaou2:
Personally, I loved the moving cockpit version of Outrun. However, to say that its assembly is a LITTLE more complex is a bit out of line.
Building the assembly for a sliding wheel is a cakewalk compared to the motion chair assembly. Have you seen it?
It requires a very powerful motor, and a large worm gear. Worm gears of that size will be expensive, and may need to be custom machined. Also, you will need a industrial threaded rod that matches that worm gear. You cant just use a thin bolt style rod, because the forces will strip it. Also, it will be too fine of a thread, and so will not move the player far & fast enough ... even If the thin threads could hold up (and they wouldnt).
Such rods are also expensive, especially at the length needed for this application.
Additionally, you will need some huge industrial bearings, to keep that Rod in check... as well as needing superior build precision. If a gear is off by a hair, and or if the cabinet has any flex in it... its going to cause the gear & rod to mesh poorly. That will cause slipping & grinding, and will break teeth and threads... destroying the entire assembly.
Which also means that the entire frame needs to be build by thick steel framework, thats reinforced well in certain spots, as well as completely being bolted together.
And the worst part of this all.. is that it will really only work with Outrun. AND, honestly, as much as I love the cabs leaning.. I really missed the shaking wheel. The entire cabinet shaking wasnt as good... partly because the cabs motor was just not fast enough for that kind of reaction. In fact.. just in its driving response, it was a little laggy compared to the on-screen movements of your car.
There may be better ways to attain the same effect... but then you get into a lot of the same problems. The game warrants a specific timing thats matched to the mechanical hardware. When you alter the hardware.. that timing is ruined... and thus, you are back to the same issue hes having with a simple vibration motor.
Which in simplest fix, is just to mod his shakers weight, so that its more center pivoted. Tighter & faster rotation, with the mass spread out more horizontally wider, rather than vertically deep. Just extend the shaft with a coupler, and change the mass style, by adding several segments of shorter mass pieces.

I think he means use the commands sent to lean the cab in the deluxe to apply opposite force to the steering wheel.

You are right: rumble works perfectly on xbox controller with this :angel: (i had the feeling it was not rumbling, but i could not see it being inside the cab, nor i could feel it being under the CP ::))
Hunk_4TH:
What are you guys using the get rumble working with Outrun? The Mame Hooker or that RacerMame? I use a wireless 360 and PS3 DS3 controller :)
baritonomarchetto:
You need both mamehoker and racermame151
