I added in the missing IN0H that was needed to satisfy the 51XX, and fixed up the direct mapped port read handers. I've tested it, played through a game and it all works, but whether or not it's the correct fix, I'm not sure.
No.04458 etabeta Developer Jun 5, 2009, 17:29	the problem is that it is not clear if the correct fix is to add IN0H or to change the device interface so that topracra does not look for a second input port but only for IN0. It depends on what was connected on the real board, otherwise it is only a hack and not a proper fix

No.04472 NekoEd Senior Tester Jun 10, 2009, 00:45	This seems to have been fixed, the game works in 0.132
No.04473 Tafoid Administrator Jun 10, 2009, 04:15	Odd.... still shows the error in 0.132 baseline on MAMEDEV. It could be your build has your patch? The other two Top Racer sets work.
