Best way to use Pole Position cab as mame?

<< < (3/3)

ArtMAME:
Just got my PP running the other day using a mouse hack for the wheel and a microswitch on the pedal:

I ordered the APAC because my wife wants the analogue pedal to work right...

And... I was finally able to complete the race yesterday!!! I had never done that, and I played this thing a fair amount back in the day...

Right now I am just running PP 1 and later I will look into adding more games.  For now though, this cabinet is a blast to play!!!

Angry_Radish:
I made a point to keep everything so I could put it back to stock if I wanted to:-)

The only part I had to cut up was the plastic shroud with the guages, and I picked up a spare one (complete with cig. burns ), and mounted my buttons in that  ;D

I wouldn't be offended by making a PP cab into something like an Xbox based driving cab... PP is one of my all time favorites but the damn thing is too hard to keep running on original hardware.

Dang women.
Don't they know you're supposed to smash the gas pedal to the floor, and slow down by sliding sideways?

In answer to the original question though, an analog pedal will work on a digital game, if you remap the axis to the throttle input.

Crowquill:
Don't forget there are some spinner games that could be fun with a bigger wheel. Cameltry and Wheel of Fortune come to mind.

Why play PP1 when you can play PP2? It's one of those games where the sequel surpasses everything about the original. I never played Hot Rod, but with the Pole Position, Sprint, and Off-Road series I'd think you'd already have a great cab.
