Centipede: autofire?

[SpamMe]

My fiancee found, on a recent trip to an arcade, a centipede cabinet with just the trackball (and maybe a 1 player start button). It just shot automatically without her needing continually hammer that button (and she says she prefers it). Is this a version of the game any of you recognize? A setting somewhere, perhaps?

It was probably just some kind of conversion and they likely had the button grounded inside the machine (fairly sure you can just hold down the button on Centipede), could have been a bootleg too.

Forgive me for saying so but have you tried just holding down the button in "centiped" (rom name) in Mame?

Have done this many time - it has autofire built in Just need to hold the button down. Centipede is just a friendly game!

If you have a Mame cabinet, and your wife wants to play it without pressing the button, then wire in a toggle switch inside the keyboard that turns button #1 on.

That should cost about $1, and will do exactly what your wife is looking for.

There may also be a way to do it in software, but I am not sure how?

and make sure you tell her how you moved heaven and earth to get this "sophisticated" electrical engineering done (should get you enough credits to get that plyboy subscription you've had your eye on)

Plyboy?  Is that a magazine for horny carpenters?  Plywood of the Month centerfold?
