I used to want a dedicated cabinet, until I found out I could finish the game in about 12 minutes. :-/ --- End quote --- I have a dedicated Assault cab, and I've never seen the end of Level 5 (out of the 11 levels). :hissy: I've tried playing Assault in MAME, it doesn't play very well with 8-ways. - Mark |

Ack, you are correct mark. I tried to map UP on one stick to the top half of a d-pad gamepad (up or up-left or up-right) But Assault didnt want to move when hitting the diagonals. I think its a conflict between the original game not allowing diags, and mames setup. I then mapped three keystrokes to "up", and pressed them in all combination's, and there was no conflict whatsoever. Next I tried a mini analog. Same problem. Turned it to digital mode... which switched the mini-analog into digital "Hats", and all worked fine. So, this is mostly an issue with mames input system. If you can map keystrokes to your joys using an encoder.. I think it will be ok. But you will want to make sure you make the top and bottom of the stick for up and down. This will prevent the dead-spot when trying to turn the tank with both sticks ...when you hit a diagonal on accident with one stick. So, if we used keys z,x,c... the mapping would look like this for "Up" Z or X or C or Z+X or X+C The only issue might be difficulty in launching bombs and rolling the tanks to the left & right. However, I think its easier to find exact horizontal with both sticks, so may be ok. Also, you do those moves 10x less than the standard driving turns. |

If I had a cool Tron style stick with a fire button on it I could use that for the right side joy & then use my player one 8 way for the left side no? --- End quote --- Hey Pinballwizard Just letting you know check out a game called Vinicators Awsome tank games Check out the controls.
