I looked into this, he's right!

Your original prop cycle implementation just had one led and a fan output. That worked beautifully.... I used it to start my output adventures a couple of years ago.

Now it's got several lamps hooked up (which work fine afaict) and although the fan output is still there, it appears to be dead. I bound it to a xinput rumble pad via mamehooker in case the change was too quick for me to detect and nothing. Oddly enough I think the fan output is coming out of the led output now because if I bind that to a rumble device I get the graduated rumble (based on pedal speed) that you used to get from the fan output. Actually if you pause the game, the fan output drops out completely and won't come back until your restart mame... proving that the state isn't changing at all.

I haven't looked at the source yet, but it's your baby R. Belmont... you might want to take a look.
