Welcome aboard, Johnnerspub.
I'm trying to play Golden Axe on MAME. There are three controls attack, jump, magic.
There is no button assigned to magic.
I asked the seller who told me to use the tab key on the keyboard to bring up a menu and assign a key to the button.
In Golden Axe, Player 1 "magic" is assigned to P1 Button 3.
Press Tab to bring up the MAME menu system. (use arrows to move and Enter to select)
In the "Inputs (this Game)" menu, highlight "P1 Button 3"
- Press Enter (to assign a key to this function)
- Press Player 1 Button 3 on your control panel (the keystroke/gamepad button for P1B3 appears in the right column)
- Press Tab to exit the menu system
- Play a game to make sure it works right.
If you make a mistake and want to change P1B3 back to the MAME default setting, go back to the "Inputs (this Game)" menu, highlight "P1 Button 3"
- Press Enter
- Press ESC (changes current setting to "none")
- Press Enter
- Press ESC (changes "none" to MAME default)
