I was wondering if you guys have a solution to get the neutral gear to work? It expects a dual input on one gear to shift to neutral. I would like it to behave correctly if anyone has a solution.
-
I don't understand the question in the first place.
Do indeed switch to neutral by tapping one of the 4 gear inputs twice.
On a real shifter, I'd move the stick to 1, then pull it slightly back (to have the microswitch in the shifter open) then have it snap back to 1st - you're in neutral now.
You want it to switch to neutral if moving the shifter into neutral position?
-
That would be the expected behavior. No gear engaged = neutral.
It's a bit weird what mame does.
Good to see you around btw
-
Just checked the MAME source - yes, kinda crap what they did there.
Nothing you can do though. I'll send in a patch to MAME.
-
Thank you very very much. Glad to hear I wasn't stupid. I will check if the other midway racers behave the same.
-
Cruis'n World and Offroad Challenge act exactly the same.
San Fracisco Rush can't even set to neutral and has no button assigned in mame.

Cruis'n World and Offroad Challange are the same driver as Cruis'n USA after all :)
Currently wondering on how to approach the issue in the first place.
The current system probably was made so you don't have to constantly "hold" the gear button (like a real shifter would).
-
Model2 emulator has a hold gear option for that. Not sure mame would allow something like that.
-
Been out of the loop for a long time, but a solution was added to disable the toggle behavior on the Hi/Lo shifter games.
I do not know if it works in Cruis'n.
