Robotron control panel dilemma
(1/6) > >>
rchadd:
I am currently building a cocktail cab and each players CP will have tstick plus + 6 buttons

I regulate see here posting raving about how great the game robotron is - but that has dual joystick controls.

I am wondering if it will be playable with 1 joystick + 4 fire buttons. is it feasible?

or should i just get over the fact that wont be able to play this classic game on my CP

Robotron is not playable with that setup, at least not past the first 2 levels.

I second that opinion. Try it out on your keyboard. Might get to level 3, but when you play with dual joys, you will definitely feel the difference. But I Just remapped the player 1 right controls in robotron to the player 2 joystick in mame, they may be a little wider apart than the original, but definitely feels pretty good. ;)
Good luck...

Me three.

I have a 2 player control panel with trackball in the center and I just play with P1 Joy and P2 Joy for Robotron.....works well for me.
