outrun mame shifter problem / issue
« on: July 14, 2018, 11:49:45 am »
hello there can anyone show me how they have wired up there shifter on a mame machine thats running outrun please ?

my shifter has just one switch so its on when its on and off when its off and mame doesnt like this it seems

ive read people stick a switch on the opposite side of the shifter, however i havent been shown how and where

ive also read there is a shifter bit of code for mame that enables the standard one switch shifter to be used , but ive not read if its successful

anyhelp would be great and very much appreciated

thanks in advance

richard

MAME by default handles those 2 positions, single switch, 80's shifter toggling between Hi and Low at each key press. It's a mamedev choice for easy testing with a keyboard. To handle the shifter as it was intended in origin (switch open - Hi position, switch closed - Low position), follow this link
