Control setup for two player multi-joystick games?
« on: July 24, 2006, 04:04:25 am »
Just curious how the controls are usually setup for a two-player multi-joystick game? I'm specificly thinking of a game like Smash TV here. Is it normally Player 1 uses the P1+P3 stick and Player 2 uses P2+P4?

I think distance between joystick can be too long.

Yes, but that aside, I was mostly wonder what the built-in defaults for the games was (I know I can always remap them).

1) Load MAME
2) Load SmashTV
3) Hit the "Tab" key
4) See defaults

-OR-

1) Post message on BYOAC asking for defaults
2) Wait for somebody else to do steps 1-4, above
3) Wait for them to post your answer

Put up a quick post in the morning before heading out to work to see if anyone knew off of the top of their head and then do 1-4 later on if noone answered. :cheers:
