what buttons do I need for a mame driving game?
« on: September 16, 2004, 09:25:13 pm »
I have a turbo sit down cab that I mamed. I have the original 360 steering wheel with an oscar mouse hack, a super sprint pedal (pot based) with the microsoft dual strike hack on it. I am not going to use a brake pedal for now. I have a four speed gear shifter on the way. Now I was wondering besides the player start button and the credit button, what other buttons do I need or should I say how many? I am talking about buttons such as turbo, sirens, weapons, or whatever I may need. I have mame games, n64 roms, and computer games such as need for speeds and indy racing.

I want to get a dual pedal set that is made for a sit down eventually, but until I find one cheap enough, I am just not using the brake. You can slow down by letting up on the gas. Anyone have any knowledge about what buttons I need?

the only 360 degree mame game that uses a brake pedal is the sitdown version of pole position.

for 360 mame an APB 2 button setup would be sufficient for the rest of the games.

id recommend to go thru the 70 or so total mame driving games and see exactly what each game requires.

for pc and n64 games i have no idea how many buttons you will need.
