Is there a place to look up control names? -listxml wasn't much help. I'm trying to set up a 4-gear shifter on Speed Freak, but it would be nice to know where to get this info for the future without bothering forum'ers for it.

You pretty much have to go digging around in the driver source code. Driver for Speed Freak is cinemat.c
I don't want to discourage you, but I can tell you from experience that 4-way shifters are a pain in the arse. Speed Freak seems to have something extra weird going on with the start button and gear 4 using the same port bit.

That was helpful. I was at least able to get it to flash what gear I pressed, but in the driver it's set up in such a way that each gear is its own on/off button as opposed to a 4-position control. Can't say there's much use for a gear shift that won't stay in gear. Looks like this one is dead in the water for now, but now I know where to look for other projects in the future. Cheers!

I had the same problem with Drag Race. The only fix I could come up with was to add the output_set_value statements to the function that sets the gear setting so the persistent gear state would be available to the artwork.
