Ooooh, to trigger stick or to not trigger stick? That is the question.
I see multiple cabinet pics with trigger sticks or ball top sticks.
This one looks like a Gorf conversion, but with a 3-button stick (a la M.A.C.H. 3):
http://www.coinop.org/MameImageSrc.aspx/9cee389e-8dd3-4a2c-bf07-1d4ef275a9ec/240/0/70I previously had set the joystick to "inverted" flight controls, so pushing up on the stick moved the ship down, contrary to the default MAME settings. It seemed natural, given that the ship has inertia & they were going for a sort of proper 3D flight scheme (poor man's Afterburner). But, I couldn't play worth a darn that way, so I switched it back to "normal".
For some reason, I'd feel weird using my flight stick with non-inverted controls. I'll try it out...OK, I hate it. Back to the ball top!
Is anybody else getting occasional resets? I'm running on 115u2 & sometimes (twice so far) the game resets to the title screen & the high scores all go back to 0. Without MAWS, I can't find out if there were any fixes made since 115u2...
Thanks,
