Pengo 2nd player controls
« on: October 11, 2016, 04:15:36 pm »
I have a dual screen cocktail cabinet running hyperspin and MAME. For Pengo, however, even when 2 players is selected, both players must use the same controls. How can I set it so player 2 uses the other controls?

That's one option PBJ. The easiest is to buy 2 chairs with wheels so you can easily scootch out of the way

Just so you know, Pengo has a real cocktail mode.  Go into your DIP switch settings, Cabinet, and change it from upright to cocktail.  Then you will have a real screen that will flip back and forth for player 1 and 2.

This isn't working, it's still controlled by p1 controls, see video

@slippyblade, I have two monitors, 2ndly I'm running MAME not an authentic Pengo board. I am trying to set player 2 controls separate from player 1

When the dipswitch is set to upright cabinet, MAME ignores the P2 inputs because on the upright cab P2 used the same controls as P1.

PBJ had the right idea, with the minor correction that you need to remap player 1's controls to accept inputs from both P1 and P2 controls.

To program each P1 input to work with either P1 or P2 controls:
-- Highlight the desired input
-- Press Enter.  Press Esc. (input = none)
-- Press Enter.  Press P1 control. (input = P1 keystroke)
-- Press Enter.  Press P2 control. (input = P1 keystroke or P2 keystroke)

Just checked here and mine does the same -- even with settings set to rfdg for player 2 - If set to cocktail mode it uses the rfdg inputs fine but if set to upright it uses the player 1 settings -- but if set to cocktail it flips the screen when player 2 is up

Maybe try setting it up to use either set of buttons for player 1 so at least it would work but players would have to stay off their buttons when the other player is playing ! ( not the best setup but should work.

Just tested it that way (as shown in pic attached) and it will take the rsdf input correctly for either player so setting it up like that would work --
