Mame Cabinet - Does anyone have one?

[Strider]

You're probably having trouble with powerdrift because you're using digital controls for a game that uses an analog steeringwheel. You can tweet the sensitivity in the Mame options. At the moment when you're pressing a direction and it's gradually building up to full-lock, you wanna set the sensitivity in Mame to do an instant full lock.

Do you mean in the back end of mame or via the tab switches?

In the tab settings. It makes a world of difference when playing driving games with a joystick.

I will have a look again. I'm sure I changed the sensitivity and it made no different (I've stuck it to 5 from 100% for games like Arkanoid and Tempest and that makes them completely playable).

I think there is a fraction of input lag on Darran's cabinet but tbh it's not a big deal. The games just feel much better to play without interlace flicker and with a real stick.

I did try simply changing the settings so they were identical to OutRun's but that didn't seem to work.

Hmm that's strange. Its a bit crap playing driving games on a stick anyway innit. Play the other few thousand 2D classics instead

But I need to have Power Drift working, it's the only way I'll ever earn Nakamura's respect :P

What could be causing that? Surely not the display interface?

[Strider]

Well I have sorted out the vsynch issues but I can't add the scan lines as my version of mame is older.
If I upgrade mame will I have to do anything with maximus (the front end I am using)

[dataDave]

Oh, you're not using a CRT?

Edit: Just read the last page. That explains the lag then.
