| sega turbo pedal how do you wire it for mame use |

| rob1234:
I have a pedal from a sitdown sega turbo cabinet. The connector on it, is similar to the steering wheel. It is a half circle that rotates back and forth between two sets of black poles. I guess its an electrical connection. I want to wire it for mame use. Is there any way to do this without an optipac? Let me know what i need to do. |

Do you have a photo? Usually pedals use potentiometers (pots)...not sure what the 'black poles' are you speak of, unless it is some kind of hall effect? |

Hopefully Paige will see this as he's familar with that pedal. As I remember it uses an optical sensor, which means either the Optipac, some sort of mouse hack, or conversion to a pot based system. |

I believe theres 2 types of pedals for turbo. The one I have has 2 optos... so a total of like 6 positions are possible. Youd need to use an optipac to read the 2 optos...and mame has to support that type of input. Some of the drivers do not allow digital input... rather - they are just set up to use pot values instead. |
