Title: Steering Wheel Config.
Post by: matvoz on February 03, 2017, 11:27:47 pm

Good evening.  I finished my cabinet last month and am working on 'upgrades' (I will have a project thread one of these days).  I have hacked a mouse for a steering wheel, but can't get it to work for Super Sprint.  Can anyone offer up  some advice on what might not be set properly?

Thank you, I could not have made it as far as I did without this forum.

1. Does the steering wheel work in Windows?  Turning the wheel left/right should move the Windows cursor left/right. (or up/down if you used the Y-axis)

2. Is mouse disabled (0) or enabled (1) in mame.ini?

If you don't have a mame.ini file in either the "..\mame\" or "..\mame\ini\" folder, you can generate it using "mame -cc" . (create config)
