tron light cycles
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:
