Decrease mame's -joystick_deadzone from the default 30% (0.3) to closer to 1%-5% (0.01 to 0.05).

Awesome Rebel - thanks so much I will try it out tonight.

One more question I forgot to ask.  The wheel I have is a 900 degree wheel.  I noticed last night it only seems to be utilizing 270 degrees.  Does this option on the wheel only kick in for 360 degree Mame games?  Does it automatically detect the mame game settings and adjust accordingly?  So if I select pole position will it switch to the 900 degree settings automatically?

270 vs 900 is totally up to the wheel's driver, AFAIK.  Not sure if the driver can tell the difference between different games in mame.  And even if it could, the degrees turn we use to describe the input is misleading.  "270" really means "limited turn" in mame, and "360" is short for "free spin."  The 900 degrees on your wheel is still limited turn, so it won't work well with free spin games like pole position. :-\

FWIW, hard drivin and race drivin used wheels that could turn almost 1080 degrees, but the games are still described as "270" games since they are limited turn.  Not sure about the newer driving games, but these used to be the only games that your wheel in 900 degree mode would bring it closer to the original arcade control.

Neverending Project:

I'll post this here instead of starting a new thread, as it seems to fit. I am trying to configure my Logitech Steering Wheel for Spy Hunter in MAME (v127u6) and I can't get the throttle set correctly.

I have set the Digital Inc and Dec to None for both Paddle and Throttle. In the Analog Paddle setting, I selected it, turned the wheel, and it was subsequently set to Joystick 1 X axis. This works correctly. But on the pedals connected to my steering wheel, the brake pedal is the -Y axis, and the gas pedal is the +Y axis. To explain: if you were looking at the joystick movement, stepping on the brake pedal has the range from center to the BOTTOM of the screen, and stepping on the gas pedal has the range from center to the TOP of the screen. OK, so I select the Analog Throttle in MAME, step on the gas pedal, and it registers Joystick 1 Y axis. But in a game, stepping on the gas pedal will stop the car, and foot OFF the gas pedal will be full acceleration.

What am I missing here?
