MAMEWorld Forums - MAME Artwork: Official - Cisco Heat

Hello all.

I have a question about the gear lever shown in a lot of games, including Cisco Heat.

I'm new to this, so am a bit lost.

Firstly Cisco Heat has the option to display the gear lever even if you have no artwork file - from what I can fathom, this was built directly into the driver by a certain Mr. Angelo Salese

Since I don't know how to access the built in lever with my Bezel, I set about creating my own. Creating the lever in a lay file is simple enough, but it's the - (I assume) - inputtag and inputmask that is catching me out. In other words, I can draw the gear lever just fine, but it doesn't actually work.

Am I on the right track with the Inputtag/inputmask? If so, how can I find out the correct value to use? Either way, how could I have found the necessary information myself without troubling you good folk?

Sorry to be a nuisance, curious minds need to know, and Big Karnak needs appeasing.
