Neo Geo Bomber Man--how to get 3rd and 4th player ability?
« on: January 05, 2017, 11:50:30 am »
Not sure if this is the right forum?  I've been playing Neo Geo Bomber Man on MAME and it works great with 1 and 2 players but when i want to add the 3rd or 4th player I can't do it?  I see the option to add them in the game and the 3rd/4th player words blink but no command seems to activate them.

Any ideas?

If you hit TAB and go to Input (this game), you'll see that there are only controls for two players. If you exit the controls menu and go to DIP switches, you'll see that there is an option to  link cabs. My guess would be that players 3 and 4 would be at the other cab.

apparently there's no known way to do it, not even with real hardware.

it looks like they intended for it to have 4 player support, maybe using a custom adapter like Kizuna, but the final released game never actually contained any of the code for it.
