Gear Shift Recompile Help

Hi all,
I am a newbie when it comes to computer progaming so bear with me...I do want to learn. When it comes to electronics and woodworking I know my way around or I can figure things out. ;D

I am working on my Pole Position cabinet and have the steering and analog pedal up and running perfectly. Now comes the real fun part: the dreaded shifter. I understand the problems associated with using the shifter in mame. I have read lots of information here and on other sites and I have reviewed lots of ideas on how to correct the problem.
I would like to try and recompile the rom as I want my machine to be as close to the original as possible. There is lots of information on how to do this but it is all over the place. I was thinking that it would be great if there was one thread that would walk someone thru the process from the beginning starting with which file needs to recompiled and where I would find this file. Taking it from a newbie point of view. Similar to 'how to wire up a coin door' .Like I said I may be green but I am willing to learn even if I make a mistake here and there.

Unless you really want to do it from scatch, I'd recommend that you use Minwah's ShifterMame.

What version MAME do I need to run SHIFTERMAME?? I am running v.100. Will it work on a lower version?
TAG:
ShifterMame is a separate build of MAME.  You don't need another version of MAME to play the driving games that it covers.

This sounds very cool. So what you're saying (again be patient...newb on the other end) is I can replace the v.100 of mame that I have now with SHIFTERMAME?? Is SHIFTERMAME like a specific version of MAME designed for hi/lo shifting games? I assume you install it  the same as MAME?
