Gyruss and Time Pilot, the way they were meant to be played
TheBrokentoken:
Awesome thread and thanks a lot for posting up all of this info (and the hack)!! This just solved one nagging problem I've had w/ Gyruss for a long time... playing it with an 8-way joystick worked, but the game lost quite a bit of it's 'fluidity' and it wasn't nearly as enjoyable.
I was just getting ready to start a thread on Gyruss and the Ultimarc U360 joystick, but I'm glad I searched first and I totally agree the spinner is the best (i.e. should have been the original) control for Gyruss...

This is a real dilemma for the purist in me....................
Gyruss with a spinner is obviously the way God intended it, but, IT IS NOT "CORRECT."
So, I am torn whether or not to set it up this way on my cab.
Of course, it's my cab and I can do whatever the heck I want with it etc, but like I said I am a purist at heart and this presents a dilemma.
FYI, I have already resolved to accept playing SW/ESB with an analog flight stick. So exceptions can be made :)
Eric.

Why not just run both? That way, on your "weak" days, you can play it as god intended, and on your "purist" days, you can play it as the cheap-bastard-companies-who-didn't-want-to-invest-in-a-spinner-on-every-arcade-cab intended ;D

A weak day for me on these is not getting past stage 16 or stage 5, respectively.... although I am waiting for these to be in Misfitmame, and then I'll check 'em out.

speaking of misfitMAME - what is the release schedule like on that project? The website I found (misfitmame.mameworld.net) shows a release about every 6 months (at best). Is that the norm for updates?
