Sure. But please don't break it  ;p

After a bit of thinking on this one: it's not going to work when using a keyslider - since it basically does the same thing (at the driver level).  Oh well :)  Carry on!

Hi, this is a question for Phozz:

How are the controls supposed to work in Power Drift?  I've been trying with MAME (0.247) and an xbox 360 controller on Windows this afternoon.

By controls I mean the steering.  And MAME classifies it as a paddle.  If I set the Left Stick X-axis to the paddle (not Paddle Inc/Dec), the way it seems to work is that it turns the wheel relatively left and right - which seems wrong.  If I'm coming out of a corner I have to push the stick past centre in the opposite direction to get the car going straight again - which is way difficult.  If I set it to just Increase/Decrease the paddle and the auto-centering comes into effect it's much more playable.

I think I saw a post from 2006 or something where someone was complaining about this and I think a MAME dev said that's just how the game was - although I didn't really understand his explanation.

I haven't tried the FB Neo implementation yet that you've been discussing, but the way it's working in MAME really threw me - it's almost like it's working the opposite way I would expect.  I don't know if say, using an actual spinner-like device with a wheel would be more playable with things like this.

Just wondered if someone could explain this to me.

Sorry, I've never had any luck with this game under MAME, and I've only ever tried playing with the keyboard or a steering wheel. I'm not really an expert, sorry if the high quality of my complaints made it seem like I am :wink:
