Hello all,
After messing with mame on my driving cab for a while, trying to get shifting working, I'll be trying a different route.
In mame chase hq shifter works well enough with the toggle option. I keep wondering if somehow two switches would work better.
So here's my big idea (probably also someone else's...haven't done much checking)
There is a playstation 2 Japanese Taito collection called Taito Memories 2 Gekan, with Chase Hq in the list of games, SCI on one of the other volumes.
Just tried it in PCSX2, it has two separate (programmable) inputs for Low Gear and High.
In the next few days i'll be trying this out on my cab, will have to wire the extra switch.
it's a bit specific, but chase hq was how i got into emulation 12 years ago, so a driving cab without perfect gameplay chase hq is..not an option.
If anyone's interested i'll post findings, otherwise I'm posting this for future chase hq nuts weighing their options.
Best wishes to all, thanks for the hobby
