robotron ipac help

Pages: (1/2) > >>

bonzo71:

I'm using an ipac with mame32.  I've built a control pannel with 2 joysticks and 3 buttons per side.  How can I get Robotron to work with this setup?  2 player games work great, but this setup does not allow for one player/2 joystic play.  Any help would be great.    

Trenchbroom:

Did you configure MAME for just this game (Tab key while in the game)?  You will need to go in and configure the 2nd joystick to be the "fire" controller.  


gnateye:

the'tab' control menu for robotron can be a bit confusing the first time you set up joystick left and joystick right and when it says "right up" that means right jstick up, and when it sayd "left right" that means left jstick right

i took me a few minutes to figure this out the first time, but it does work

ErikRuud:

Robotron, Food Fight, Black Widow, Crazy Climber (1 & 2) and Battle Zone (There may be others) all use two joysticks.  

They all use the:
P1_JOYSTICKRIGHT_UP     "KEYCODE_I | JOYCODE_1_BUTTON2"
P1_JOYSTICKRIGHT_DOWN   "KEYCODE_K | JOYCODE_1_BUTTON3"
P1_JOYSTICKRIGHT_LEFT   "KEYCODE_J | JOYCODE_1_BUTTON1"
P1_JOYSTICKRIGHT_RIGHT  "KEYCODE_L | JOYCODE_1_BUTTON4"
P1_JOYSTICKLEFT_UP      "KEYCODE_E | JOYCODE_1_UP"
P1_JOYSTICKLEFT_DOWN    "KEYCODE_D | JOYCODE_1_DOWN"
P1_JOYSTICKLEFT_LEFT    "KEYCODE_S | JOYCODE_1_LEFT"
P1_JOYSTICKLEFT_RIGHT   "KEYCODE_F | JOYCODE_1_RIGHT"


Instead of the normal:
P1_JOYSTICK_UP          "KEYCODE_UP | JOYCODE_1_UP"
P1_JOYSTICK_DOWN        "KEYCODE_DOWN | JOYCODE_1_DOWN"
P1_JOYSTICK_LEFT        "KEYCODE_LEFT | JOYCODE_1_LEFT"
P1_JOYSTICK_RIGHT       "KEYCODE_RIGHT | JOYCODE_1_RIGHT"

P2_JOYSTICK_UP          "KEYCODE_R | JOYCODE_2_UP"
P2_JOYSTICK_DOWN        "KEYCODE_F | JOYCODE_2_DOWN"
P2_JOYSTICK_LEFT        "KEYCODE_D | JOYCODE_2_LEFT"
P2_JOYSTICK_RIGHT       "KEYCODE_G | JOYCODE_2_RIGHT"


I changed the defaults for the JOYSTICKRIGHT's and JOYSTICKLEFT's to be the same as my P1_JOYSTICK and P2_JOYSTICK settings.

I assume you need this for Karate Champ too.
