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.

If it's set up as a three-axis stick, I might want to pick a set up.
I saw the Outrun thread. I just checked the owner's manual on KLOV. Definitely separate brake and accel pots.
Of course all the system16 games in MAME are still being re-written so maybe this will get fixed then.

OK just once more OT. I just tried setting up the Act-LABS stuff in mame32+ and I guess I was just sleeping the previous time I tried. The wheel + 3 pedal (well 2 of them anyway) both work fine in Out Run. I guess a single brake/gas pedal would work fine too btw.

My method of driving OutRun was "Floor the gas, and occasionally downshift through the curves, and ignore the brakes", so a single brake/gas pedal would work.
However, my current pedal is single axis and the brake lights don't come on and they should.
That's the info that I needed, though. The pedals are all dual axis (one pot per pedal).
Thanks!

I wonder if anyone will find this question buried way in this thread.....
Have you guys found a source for the little spinning light handle things? I know exactly what they are, but I can't find them anywhere. Someplace on the net maybe?
Really, really cool project, by the way.

I'll check the store where I got mine and see if there's any left--I was thinking dollar stores or walmart or something along that line would carry them. I'll get back to you--If they have some do you want me to pick you up a set? Anyone else?

I'm actually making my own grips in cast polyurethane. I was planning to mold and cast original grips, but I couldn't get a hold of any- so I've made my own master from wood based on pics of originals and some rough measurements.
If it works out I may offer them if anyone's interested...

Yes, I would be interested! Check your PMs. Thanks!
