[eca] 4-Speed Gear Lever Inputs Not Mapped Correctly

[mmarino4]

Emergency Call Ambulance can use both an up/down gear shifter or a 4-speed shifter like the one used in Daytona 2. The type of gear lever is chosen in the Game Assignments menu. When 4-speed is chosen, none of the mapped gear inputs register. Pressing the shift up button activates gear 1 and shift down activates gear 2. There is no way to choose gears 3 or 4.

You need to go to your games.xml file and make sure it's set correctly.

Go to the Emergency Call Ambulance section,

And change:

<input type="shiftupdown" />

To:

<input type="shift4" />

It worked. Thank you. Is there a way to have neutral activate automatically when no gear input is held down rather than a separate button input?

I never figured that one out unfortunately. I don't think it's a dealbreaker tbh. More of a nice to have.

Maybe @dukeeeey or @trzy can give their take on the neutral thing?

Most games it doesn't matter at all. I only bring it up for this game because it has a special move where you quickly shift out of 4th into neutral then back in 4th and get a short speed boost. Similar to the boosts in Crazy Taxi. It's a bit cumbersome with the added input in the middle of it.
