How to interface an ANALOG Race Drivin Shifter???
<< < (3/4) > >>
Wade:
On a related note... Race/Hard drivin' are REALLY slow on my notebook.  Haven't tried it on my Mame arcade yet (much more trouble to set up games on that, I only do it after I'm sure the game will run correctly and with my existing controls).

Do I just need more processor or do I need to do something to the settings?  Machine is a P3 1ghz.  I used the Aaron Giles control setup file for it.

Thanks,
Wade

Robin,

Thank you.  I finally get it!

With luck I'll have my driving MAME Cabinet operational this weekend, and I'll start fooling around with the Stick Shift next weekend,

My experience is similar to Wade's.  Race Drivin, Hard Drivin and Crusi'n USA all seem to operate at about 1 frame a second on my machine.  (1.2 GHZ AMD w/ TNT 64 Video).

Is there currently any way to make these games playable?

There's not that much you can do:

a) buy a 4 ghz cpu (for crusin')  I would have said 2 ghz cpu for hard/race drivin', except AX just said his 2 ghz was slow.
b) Turn off frame skip


FWIW, before the crusin' games came out in mame, hard drivin's hardware was one of the most demanding drivers in mame (actually, stun runner & race drivin were the more demanding, but they use the same hardware).  5 "cpu"s + 2 (or 3) sound chips, for a minimum of 7 pretty heavy chips to emulate (see system16.com for more info).  No surprise you need a fast cpu to run them.
