Here's an idea- someone should figure out how to add a set of pedals to this, so it could double as a steering wheel...

For anyone who has these - are the gas and brake single axis - dual axis, or selectable.

In otherwords, does mashing the brake make the cursor move up and mashing the gas makes it go down, or does the gas move up and down and the brake moves side to side.

Thanks in advance.

That's weird. On my set the gas and brake use a different axis. I have the Performance set with the 3 pedals (with a seperate clutch) The clutch is a third axis.

I have not been able to get this to work with Mame btw. So maybe you can configure it to have the gas and brake to work on the same axis?

That's actually what I was hoping - separate axis.  Outrun needs this (actually, I think the brake is just a switch, not a pot in the real game), but you don't get brake lights if you use a single axis pedal set.

Patrickl, have you tried using MAME analog plus for this.  I think it allows you to remap joystick axes, and I'm not sure vanilla MAME does.

I might have to try MAME Analog plus then. The pedal set I have is actually a seperate 3 axis joystick from the steering wheel. It's not like the standard pedals that come with the wheel (where the axis of the pedals are integrated whith the wheel). I have been unable to get both controllers to work at the same time, but I haven't tried very hard either.

There was some discussion about Out Run earlier. I thought PaigeOliver said that Outrun was supposed to have a pot gas and brake. I even saw something about people hacking MAME to change this. Can't remember where I saw it though. I'm really hoping it will be a pot controlled pedal one day.
