hola guys...long time reader...first time poster.  ;)

at any rate, im building my 8 th control panel, and its a spy hunter...steering is great, but the gas pedal is either on or off.  im using 100k pots wired into the joystick port(works great on my star wars yoke) but it seems like mame does not want to recoginize the gas as an analog value(like i said its either on or off) my mame rig in the cab is a 1.4ghz in dos mode so a newer version of mame is out of the question. im using advance mame .67 and have tried analogmame+ .69 dos build but that wont see any of the analaog(100k pot) inputs.

any thoughts? besides shoot myself in the foot?  ;D

The Man:

Sorry...  the gas works fine using my star wars yoke, but I can't steer with it.  What settings are you using and is it a Twisty Grip yoke you've built?

juggernaut:

heh, i can steer with my star wars yoke, but alas, no gas. as for the yoke, its the real star wars yoke.  ;D

Nephus:

ok, I've never played with the yokes before... are you using the yoke itself as a gas pedal, or do you have an actual pedal somewhere that you're trying to get working?

Either way, since mame won't accept an analog input on it, try putting in a microswitch that gets triggered whenever your analog device is pushed all the way to max.

*shrug*  That's all I can think of having no idea what you're actually trying to do and being severely sleep deprived.

Dekelia:

If, I understand the problem correctly, you have an analog input and you need mame to see it as a digital input.  Is that correct?

If so, JoyToKey can handle that.  If you haven't used it before, it turns joystick inputs into keyboard inputs.  It is very cool.
