I'm running MAME32Plus! 0.105. Should I be using a different emulator for Pole Position?That's a REALLY ancient version of MAME.
I have the opti-pac working (I think, because I can move the mouse pointer left and right on the windows desktop with the steering wheel) but it doesn't seem to steer the car in-game.Windows recognizes the steering wheel as mouse X-axis. That is good.
I also followed your instructions on wiring the pedal with the U-hid nano, and it seems to work, but for whatever reason, when I press the pedal, the car rotates left/right (what the wheel should be doing).Mame accepts analog input from the pedal. That is good, but you might want to consider changing the U-HID configuration for that input from X-axis (left/right) to Y-axis. (up/down)
So, I'm guessing there is just some sort of setup in MAME that I am missing. I'm running MAME32Plus! 0.105.1.) Do you already have mame.ini in your installation?

I was almost positive I have seen this achieved with only a U-hid nano (which is what convinced me to buy one) because of the Quadrature capability- but maybe it was a dream- I dunno.The original optical board won't work with the U-HID because the logic high/low voltage levels are different for active high devices vs. active low devices.
Steering is fixed now via OptiPac- very cool, thanks for that!That pic shows J25. Pin 1 is on the left.
Now I have the shifter and coin working with the U-hid nano, but I can't figure out where the pedal needs to go. Here is a picture of what I am working with, if someone could point me in the right direction on where to connect these to the U-hid nano I would be eternally grateful!
