Post by: rdowdy95 on April 02, 2007, 01:50:54 pm: How do you play these games. When i get them booted up it says something about turning the ignition? What button is that. How do I play these games in Mame?

Be nice.

You should wire the ignition button to either your "O" or "K" buttons.

Listen up sunshine....what you HAVE to do is rotate your CABINET 180 degrees THEN turn the ignition switch....or else the game simply won't boot.

Eh....you DID install a Mame Enabled Ignition switch right? GroovyGameGear.com has some left for about $65. plus shipping. They're the best ones you can buy.

Here's some detailed info on how to wire it up by the way--- this is the one I have on my cab

Good luck!

Post by: MameMaster! on April 02, 2007, 04:55:35 pm: yeah but those are crap when it comes to playing Crusin'.....I still think that GGG's are the best ones. They're totally plug/play within the CrusinMame™ hack.......it's easier for beginners.

Post by: missioncontrol on April 02, 2007, 04:59:35 pm: yeah, but come on this is a do-it yourselfer forum.... heck the site begs for the latest and greatest hacks of all kinds...

my spinner hack, keyboard hack and ignition hack, sure the underside of my CP looks like a rats nest of wires, but I take pride in doing stuff....

Post by: tommy on April 02, 2007, 05:02:21 pm: I always wondered if sitting in my car while running this game had any effect on it. ;)

No, its not 180 degrees for everyone. Can't believe you don't know that. Its 180 for the NORTHERN Hemisphere. For those in the SOUTHERN Hemisphere, they don't turn it 180 degrees. They simply have to turn it around. Get it straight! :angry:

;D

Post by: blueznl on April 02, 2007, 06:31:59 pm: I tried changing the settings, first in front of the window, then later the kitchen door, didn't make much difference.

Post by: MameMaster! on April 03, 2007, 10:45:51 am: forgot about the whole northern/southern thing....sorry :banghead:...but of course you're correct.

Maybe it's time this info was added to the Mame Crusin' Faq website?........can't hurt for the newbies to have this info in one place. :dunno
