Is Final Lap working good in MAME with 270 wheel?

That makes sense. Also I forgot to mention, after I 'fixed' the coin sample buzzing, I noticed the buzzing might start in the game when the car crashed into something. So I also needed locate and stop the crash sample from being loaded from ROM (So you never hear the car crash on my 'fixed' version). Hm, my 'fix' just sounds better and better the more I talk about it ;)

That would be really cool. But I'm sort of thinking a mame dev's answer would be to recommend we get better ROM dumps (If indeed the ROMs are the problem, maybe mame is interpreting them wrongly (although this is doubtful)). You've got me thinking now though, I might be able to do what you suggest, identifying the point at which mame's sound engine tries to trigger a bad sample (AKA. tries to play something in the ROM address range that I avoided loading), and instead use it to trigger a sample from the 'samples' directory. I'll try and have a hack this weekend :O)

did anyone every get a version of MAME working to solve the coin-in and other sound issues?
