Re: advice for I-Pac/Opti-Pac setup

: Thanks for the ideas. I browsed Oscar's site tonight, and it mentioned EMU+, which allows for assigning the x axis of the serial mouse (steering wheel one via optipac) to player 1 and the y axis of the serial mouse (steering wheel two via optipac) to player 2. This way, I only have to use one serial port. : I purchased used (but in great shape) Indy Heat steering wheels and I just tested Indy Heat in EMU+. The red car and the blue car are now mapped to my red and blue steering wheels, using the buttons on the steeering wheels as the pedals. : Next challenge, get the analog pedals hooked up and working. : : : I'm throwing in the towel because if I keep unscrewing those I-Pac/Opti-Pac connectors at the rate I am, I'll break them sooner or later. : : I'm looking for advice on how to connect the following: : : one Oscar spinner : : one Wico trackball : : two used Indy Heat steering wheels : : one used Pole Position pedal : : one used Atari pedal : : one used optical joystick : : I'd like to be able to use both steering wheels simultaneously as player one and player two in games such as Indy Heat, etc, so we can race against each other. : : I currently only have one serial port on the pc, and I suspect I'll have to add another. : : I'm using Mame32 for Windows. I just don't see an area in Mame to setup player two for y-axis while player one uses x-axis (probably because you can't set it up that way). : : The spinner will be used for Tron, Mad Planets, etc and will never contend with other optical devices. : : Trackball will be used for Crystal Castles, Marble Madness, etc and will not contend with other optical devices. : : The Optical joystick will be used for Frenzy, and maybe Sinistar and Food Fight if it works well. Again, no contention with other optical devices. : : Any ideas if or how I can pull this off?
