Hey all, goofy question here...
When I first put my cabinet together, I was running the DOS version of AdvanceMame (I believe version 0.80; I know it was an older one) on Windows ME. In Pole Position, when you hit the button to shift gears, you would see a big LO or HI on the screen, so you would know which gear you were in.
Eventually, I rebuilt the machine using Ubuntu, and I'm now running a much newer version of AdvanceMame, but compiled on Linux. Unfortunately, the gear overlay graphic doesn't show up anymore.
Does anybody know anything about this? Is it configurable? Was it a code change that was made on purpose?
