Would it not make sense to allow Mame to output given values for any games featuring FFB (I'm presuming that actual gameboards use some kind of input/output code to the FFB PCB).
If Mame simply outputs that info surely people can then make their own third party interfaces and/or drivers for different devices they want to use it with that simply sits between mame and their FFB device, reads the output from mame and runs with it. Takes the aggro completely away from Mame as mame won't be dealing with any driver or device specific issues.
