Any ideas how to hook up a Super Sprint Gas Pedal to a mame cabinet?

[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

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).

Check out these two threads for how I hooked up some pedals from an old thrustmaster wheel and pedals set to a dual strike:

also, there was a recent thread in which someone is selling boards that allow you to hook up any analog control, I think he called it "AIK" or something like that.  His board would probably be easier than the dual strike hack b/c no soldering.

I have about six of these pedals in my garage.  I would use a Microsoft USB Dual Strike gamepad hack to connect it to the cab.   I prefer USB interfaces so I can connect many things to the cab via USB Hub.    I hacked 6 of the Dual Strikes for my driving cab.

The Dual Strike has two pots (left/right movement and up/down movement).   If you are going to connect only one 5K pot to this (which the Super Sprint pedals use) then you would most likely prefer to connect it to the left/right pot location on the Dual strike since this does not involved de-soldering any connections.  You simply twist some wires together and heat shrink them.

Here is an overall pic of the Dual Strike:

Here is a close up showing how to connect the Super Sprint to the Dual Strike.   Keep in mind you might need to flip the Black and Red wires to get the correct direction for speeding up or slowing down (or you can simply map the pot in Mame with the + and - directions appropriately).
