MAME - Steering Wheel Configurations

<< < (2/2)

BadMouth:
The pic you posted is of the global "all games" mapping.
That's not going to work for driving games since the original cabs weren't all wired up the same like most JAMMA joystick cabs were.
You'll have to map each game individually.  You might have to reverse the axis of one or both pedals in some games.
You'll definitely also have to adjust the analog sensitivity for the steering axis too.
Have a look at the MAME section of the stickied driving cab info thread.

About Ridge Racer...

quote from hap (the MAMEdev who worked on Ridge Racer) originally posted over on mameworld:


--- Quote ---Here's how to assign it to 6 separate buttons in MAME, hope it works for your shifter hardware:
Shift Down = button1 OR button3 OR button5
Shift Up = button2 OR button4 OR button6
Shift Left = button1 OR button2
Shift Right = button5 OR button6
--- End quote ---

You might also have to set the cabinet type to deluxe.

For the error message that pops-up, I am at the phone now so i cannot check for you easily, but in mame.ini there's for sure some option that can help (i don't know which one being that i play 2D games only on genuine CRT's :) )
Google is your friend too ;)

Thanks again baritonomarchetto - much appreciated.

Also thanks to you too BadMouth. I've found details on the internet as you have mentioned, where different settings are required for each game. This was in part my initial question, seeing if anywhere had posted the different variations per game that people had experienced. I appreciate now that the RM software was more for cab conversions rather than straight PC driving - but I'm still prepared to tinker around.

I appreciate all your assistance.

Well here's the thing.  Games with analog controls need to be tweaked to whatever analog device you are using.  An arcade rig is going to have a wheel, a shifter, some VR buttons, possibly some lights, and a pedal set.  Both the physical controls (converted arcade machine or pc wheel?  which one?) and the interface (did you hack in the vr buttons?  what about the shifter?  ect....) are going to vary so there isn't an easy default setup.  It's probably why there's next to no standardization within MAME in regards to racing controls as well.
