In Reply to: 2 gravis Xterminators hack went off with out A problem!!!!!! posted by Jim M on August 29, 1999 at 01:39:02:
I have an Xterminator (the greatest gamepad ever created) and would like to know how you did it. Which pad did you use (probably the digital one) could anything be gone with the analog stick? This thing plays Outrun like a dream. Oh yea, to get DOS MAME with GrIP Support go to:
http://mameworld.retrogames.com/emuadvice/
under useful files and download mamegrip.zip, or I hear that the EMU+ or whatever also supports GrIP. You can also compile your own in the future with the information and source code in mamegrip.zip.

: I realy put alot of thought into interfaces! Today I finally got A chance to see the gravis hack in action. Since my cabinet (wood work) is only about 90% finished. And my gravis hack was finished. I just temped it all toughter to test. Had about 10 feet of wire going from the controls to the interface. My controls consist of 2 happs 8 way supers, 6 buttons each player, 2 pinball side buttons, esc. pause, reset, 1 player coin, 1 player start, 2 player coin, 2 player start,happs trackball (3 button serial mouse)and A normal keyboard. All i've tested is mame32 and neoragex. Seems dos mame may cause me A few problems. What I used for the hack was the proporinal pad, 6 buttons, start and slect buttons and the 2 buttons in the handles on each pad. Have more than enough imputs. Anyway, myself and A friend tested for A few hours using mame32 and street fighter 2 (2-8way joys and 6 buttons each). We diden't find A problem at all!!!!!!! I set up mame32 via the gravis software and adjusted the key settings in mame32 as needed. So far I'm very happy with this interface. If anyone is interested I can write up A full How to on this. Think I give it Another week are so of testing. It is not A cheep hack and there was A lot of soldering involved. But it seems to work well..........
