Pole Position Mame Pedal Issue?
« on: February 16, 2018, 11:49:38 am »
Hi all, I have a weird problem in Pole Position mame.  I can't seem to go over a top speed in the 190s mph.  When I configure my pedal in Windows game controller setup it seems to go to the max position when I press the pedal all the way.  In the Pole Position test menu, the pot goes up to 90 (hexadecimal?).  Is that normal or it is short of the max?

The weird thing is that on Youtube some playthrough videos seem to hover around 190 as well while others greatly pass that (240s).  I don't know enough of that game to know what is normal.

Is there a way to make the pot range smaller in Mame if it is a pot issue?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I believe 195 is the normal max speed, there are some video where people are using cheats to get higher than that, and don't forget some people are playing in KM/HR which will make the number much higher.

Weird, I'm watching John's Arcade pole position video and he is hitting 245mph.

Top Speed in Pole Position is a dip switch setting. 195 is the factory setting, it can be bumped up to 225 or 244.

Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.
