continue with arkanoid

Can anyone tell me how to continue in arkanoid. It says to hold fire and press start but that just ends the count down and says "game over". I get this will all arkanoid roms. The dip option says continue is enabled.

Nephasth:

I don't know about MAME, but I have a real Arkanoid. And to continue, that is exactly what I have to do. First push and hold "Fire" then press "Start". It might be a key punch thing in MAME. Because when I press and release "Fire" it ends the count down and the same goes for just "Start". Maybe your MAME setup can't read two keys pressed at the same time?

ulao:

well in this case its a joystick I'm fairly confident mame can read two buttons. I could understand the keyboard as in issue though. Hitting fire does not effect the count down for me, just start.

well actually its a joystick but emulating a mouse. So as far as mame is concerned its a mouse. I think it would be common knowledge if mame didnt support two simultaneous mouse buttons. However I think you are right in that it is sensing the one button and for some reason thinks the fire button is not down.

nitz:

Forgive me if this is a silly question, but you are inserting a coin before trying to continue, right?

Blanka:

On SDL Mame with a Minipac it just works as it should.
But I really dislike the continue option in Arkanoid, as it refreshes the field to the starting state. Really anoying if you had 1 brick left.
