tron light cycles

Pages: (1/2) > >>

telengard:

I have a control panel w/ a happs 8 way trigger and oscar spinner.  This setup is *great*
except during the light cycle phase of the game.  It seems that this part would have
needed 4 way movement only.  I  can't stop zig-zagging w/ the happs.  Any ideas?

CthulhuLuke:

You should get one of those Oscar Controls joystick-restrictor plates, I've heard lots of good things about them, and they'll make your 8-way joysticks into 4-way with the turn of two screws.  Another option would be to see if someone could compile you a version of mame, or you could compile a version of mame that had Tron's controls set to 8-way instead of 4-way, which would fix the problem.  I don't know how to do this myself, but I remember a while back a guy writting about how he just made his mame emulator into 8-way controls on all the games, and it fixed this problem completely.

CthulhuLuke:  completely ot, but that's the most disturbing plush animal I've ever seen.  That thing rocks!

CthulhuLuke:

Heh, thanx man.  Yeah, I actually own one of those cthulhu plush dolls, got it for christmas.  Very awesome to put on top of my dreamcast while playin.
