| Wiring Gas/Brake Pedals, for AndyWarne, UncleT, others? |

Andy, With the simplified method, if I understand correctly, movement of either pedal will be seen as activity on BOTH joysticks. I know you can filter this out by how you map the joystick to the emulator, but does it make any noticeable impact on performance? Also - is a matching capacitor required on the P2 side of the board with your method. Thanks in advance! |

Unfortunately I can not add anything to this topic since I never ended up using a switch to flip between single and dual axis pedals via a Dual Strike hack. |

I simply have 2 sets of gas/brake pedals and one set is hacked to a Dual Strike (using the two pots) for dual axis support and the other pedal set is connected to another Dual Strike hack (using one pot) for single-axis. --- End quote --- Okay, thanks! BTW, are there any games that require single-axis? I thought most MAME games wanted dual axis, and I expected most high-end PC racing games to expect this also. |

I thought most older Mame racing games were all single-axis and only a few used dual-axis. |

Many of the older racing games only had one pedal ... right? Dual-axis pedals are required in case you wanted to slam your foot on the brake pedal while your gas pedal was floored so you could cause your car to "spin out" or "burn rubber". You could not do this on single-axis pedals since it would be impossible to have the brake and gas pedals both register high input levels at the same time. BTW: I never really use my dual-axis pedals at all, but included them on my cabinet in case I wanted to use them eventually ... maybe with PC games in the future ... just never got around to playing any of those type games. I got an Xbox instead of playing on the PC ;) I use my driving cabinet for the older Mame racing games (Pole Position, Bump-n-Jump, etc...) --- End quote --- Okay, now I'm a bit confused. I agree some games (Outrun - for example) either used separate pots for both the gas and brake or maybe pots for the gas and a microswitch for the brake. These games need dual axis pedals. Some games (Pole Position?) had only a gas pedal and no brake pedal, but I would think these would play better with dual axis (the gas controls a single pot and uses full travel) but would work with single-axis pedals. Is there any game that works with single-axis pedals (or requires single-axis pedals) that would NOT work with a dual-axis setup. |
