: : How do I run one steering wheel off of the X-axis and the other off of the Y-axis? Do I have no choice but to hook up the second serial port? Basically, how do I tell Mame what controls my steering wheels in racing games? Example-Championship Sprint...
:
: I don't believe that Y-axis support for player 2 is supported yet in the official MAME. I think that you need a special MAME port such as EMU+ that has this feature. You can get EMU+ here.
: I have a step-by-step instructions on how to set this up with EMU+ on my website. It is under the Support page. My instructions are written for spinners, but it will work for steering wheels, too.
Hey, thanks for that bit of information. I knew that Andy Warne's site mentioned EMU+ on his Opti-Pac page, but it never really clicked that standard MAME would not be able to support two spinners and/or two trackballs simultaneously!!
So, EMU+ DOS-Mame is locked in at 0.37 Beta 12, huh?... And their Mame32 version is even older at 0.36 Final. Let's say I want to run those for dual analogs, and also keep 0.37 b14 for everything else. What would be the best way to switch between EMU+ and standard - EmuLoader or PartyOn? :-)
