Mame Driving Cfgs

[Tempest]

I mentioned to Bkenobi a while back that I would upload my driving cfgs. I have 63 games on my driving cab. I originally had over a hundred games, but I ran everyone, and deleted the ones that wouldn't run at a decent speed on my cab, and others that really shouldn't be on a driving cab. (Battlezone is classified as a driving game, but requires two joysticks to play)

My Driving cab is a Special Criminal Investigation, the control panel looks like this:

You can't see it, but there is a trigger on the shifter. The red button on top of the shifter is "Turbo". My pedal, and shifter each have two switches, one that is closed when the device is up, the other is closed when the device is down. I set up the inputs as follows:

1. Pedal Up {KEYCODE_E}
   
2. Pedal Down {KEYCODE_D}
   
3. Turbo {KEYCODE_B}
   
4. Fire (Trigger) {KEYCODE_A}
   
5. Shifter Up {KEYCODE_C}
   
6. Shifter Down {KEYCODE_F}
   

You are probably thinking that all you have to do is set the default inputs for a pedal, and you would be good to go. Take a look at the (Special Criminal Investigation) sci.cfg:

	</system>
</mameconfig>

No mention of a pedal here...

My recommendation is to download a program like: http://www.inforapid.de/html/searchreplace.htm

Which will do a search and replace across multiple files. (Wombat recommends UltraEdit)

Nice! Thanks. Btw, did you decide against the spinner games on your driver? I've found that Camaltry is really fun. Unfortunately, I did something a while back that keeps it from displaying. I'm going to have to resync my roms and MAME version I think.

I don't have the spinner games on my driving cab. I have a spinner on another cab, so I wanted to keep it more "Authentic".

Sorry about the delay, TBH, I forgot! I saw you mention to someone about a week ago that I had a driving cab, and it reminded me... Also, the Cab had been messing up because of the Instant Sheller program. A month or two ago, someone posted that it worked better if you used "Shell for this user only", So I unshelled it, copied the cfgs, shelled "For this user only", and everything works great!

It's about time I fixed it!

I had a hard drive crash in Ms. Pacman, So someday I will swap computers in that. I have an old one sitting around, with everything on it, so I can't see taking the time to reinstall windoze...

I know you didn't ask about all of that, but there it is anyway.

Did you mean Cameltoe? I think Cameltoe is fun!

Edit: I just ran cameltry on my laptop, it looks interesting. If you like that, you might like "The Irritating Maze" [irrmaze] It's a trackball game though...

[bkenobi]

I've seen that one before. I don't have a track ball, so it's truly irritating! Cameltry is fun on a driving cab because you have to spin that huge wheel rather than leisurely turning the spinner. I end up smashing my hand a few times every time I play it...AWESOME!
