Any ideas how to hook up a Super Sprint Gas Pedal to a mame cabinet?
(1/2) > >>
ratabase1:
I recently purchased a gas pedal that came out of a Super Sprint arcade game.  It resembles the Happ Control's flat gas pedal with Potentiometer.  Does anybody have any ideas how I can hook this up to my mame cabinet?  It has four wires connected to it (Black, White, Green, and Red).

What are you hooking it up to?

Preferably to an i-pac card, unless somebody knows a better way.  I'll be using the mouse port for my steering wheel.

It won't connect to the IPAC (although a microswitch pedal would)...

The easiest way to hook that up is using an AKI interface - http://dave.bit2000.com/

There are other ways:

Dual Strike hack - www.1uparcade.com
Replace the pot with a 100k one and wire to gameport - http://www.gunpowder.freeserve.co.uk/wheels/wiring.htm

Good luck :)
GamingGreg:
It sounds like an analog control, so hooking it up to an IPac isn't going to work. (That would only work if the pedal was a simple switch).  You'd have to interface it to a Joystick port (and replace the pots to be 100K) or interface it to a USB joystick.  If you use something like the MS dual strike joystick then you can probably use the existing pot (otherwise you'd need to change it to what the joystick uses; usually 100K).
