It a great game, the only downside is you can really mess that game with the "settings" options, wich can't been disabled.
But since sourcecode was included, and I use BlitzMax as my primary Language, I have created a new exe with disabled "Settings and "Sure" screen.

Now this game should been 100% cabinet safe.
NB. Remember to test exe with your antivirus app first.

I am still playing and loving this game. I found out I had an older version of the code a while back and finally found a newer one (still don't know if I have the latest since there isn't much info out there about the game).
I wonder if you could modify it with BlitzMax to use more mame specific controls (like only bring the settings up if you click tab, and push the player 1 start button to start the game instead of the bomb etc...)
If you haven't tried this game yet, give it a go.

Sorry I diddent see this one. Even do that than never done. Sorry.
I have done it now and changed the code using the newset version (I diddent known it exited a newer version).
ESC is changed to TAB and 1 is now the start button (but BOMB button can still been used) and ESC quit the game directly. Regaadless where you are in the game.
Its on the same URL. Just grab the new one.

Space Fractal, you rock, I can't believe how quick you got that done!
I have seriously been thinking about building a cab for these types of games (I am just using 2 8-ways on my current cab now, it's not bad, but it's not ideal). It would be great to either get a couple of 49way or analog sticks (possibly one with a button on top for the bomb, that would be ideal, but don't know if they exsist, I will start looking now though that there is this great cab friendly version of the game).
I can't wait to get home from work and download and play it...Thanks again Space Fractal.
Space Fractal:
He he, for some reason I misread-ed the date from the post is from February, why I though I was really slow and PM you.
There is also code for exit from joypad buttons, which I should remove (these should could been remap out in config.txt)... But let me known.
NB. I have just uploaded again to remove (include the modified blitzmax file), so only TAB can occur a ESCAPE/OPTIONS menu and not a joystick button (more safe when using joypads) (so the option joypad butons does NOT work anymore). I also hardcoded ESC to quit directly, and 1 key (hardcoded) or bomb button to start the game.
nuka1195:
Does anybody have this working with two joysticks(U360). I don't seem to be able to configure joystick one for moving and joystick 2 for firing.
Space Fractal:
There sould been a dual analog joystick setting where you select input method (TAB/settings in the moded code by me). I only have one analog (A PS2 controller with adapter) myself, so I can now cant test it yet.
