Playing Paperboy with joystick and buttons
(1/2) > >>
cmoses:
I have seen the game Paperboy listed on some of the multi-game arcade machines by various vendors.  All of these machines only have basic controls, mostly joystick and buttons. 

Is there a special version of Paperboy for playing with just a joystick and buttons or is there a special way to configure the input controls?
RayB:
nope

Well that seems improbable since it is on so many machines. 
Chris:
There are so few arcade licenses available; if the license is available to a vendor they will use it and leave controls up to you to figure out.

MAME is designed to map the controls so you get basic controls. It's like the driving games. You can use your joystick to turn left and right, but is it anywhere as enjoyable, accurate or even adequate enough rather than a steering wheel?   Just because some guy advertises a MAME with paperboy on it, doesn't mean it's going to play very well using the controls provided.
