Golden Axe Button Layout Question
(1/2) > >>
myrmidon:
Hi There,

Does anyone know what the original button layout is for Golden Axe?

After a lot of googling, I can see that the 3 button layout is  'OOO', however I don't know which is  button 1, 2 or 3, or which button does which move.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Olaf

From Controls.ini -

[goldnaxe]
gamename=Golden Axe (set 6, US, 8751 317-123A)
numPlayers=2
alternating=0
mirrored=1
tilt=0
cocktail=0
usesService=0
miscDetails=
P1NumButtons=3
P1Controls=8-way Joystick+joy8way
P1_BUTTON1=Attack
P1_BUTTON2=Jump
P1_BUTTON3=Magic
P1_JOYSTICK_RIGHT=Right
P1_JOYSTICK_LEFT=Left
P1_JOYSTICK_DOWN=Down
P1_JOYSTICK_UP=Up

See image below:  (I'm going to guess and say these are:

                  Magic
         Attack           Jump

But this might be a conversion, so it would be nice if someone actually remembered.
         

RayB:

That layout above is the "correct" layout for ALL games that have jump, attack and a special attack.


myrmidon:

Hmm, that makes it tricky. Actually I am planning on building a dual '8-way joystick 3 buttons' panel for use with Golden Axe, Double Dragon, etc, but it appears that the layout is slightly different.

Double Dragon is:   Punch (B3) Jump (B2) Kick (B1)

Golden Axe is: Attack (B1)  Magic (B3)  Jump (B2)

Which is completely different (in both number and function). However, if I went for a 1 2 3 configuration, then it would be:

Double Dragon: Kick Jump Punch
Golden Axe:  Attack Jump Magic

which seems like it could work well, because the Jump is in the same location, and Kick/Attack is sort of similar. Opinions and feedback appreciated.

jhanson:
Personally, I would remap Double Dragon's keys so that it's:
           Kick
Punch          Jump

or

       Punch
Kick            Jump

and leave Golden Axe as is.
