Title: Can you change pitchers in "Vs Atari RBI Baseball" ... Mame?
Post by: unclet on July 01, 2006, 03:05:29 pm

I seem to remember being able to switch pitchers (and even switch hitters .. I think) in the Atari RBI Baseball .... but can not figure out how to do this.   I can tell that my pitcher is getting "tired" since the pitches are slowing down after mutliple innings ....

Any ideas how to do this?

Just out of curiosity, have you tried pressing the start button (in MAME it is usually mapped to the "1" key)?   Also, you can press Tab and see the key mappings, and try them one by one.  You may want to check the Dip switches, too and see if there is one that enables this.

The NES version is a little different.   It could be that this feature was available on the NES version instead of the arcade.

Additionally, there is a website that has more about the game:  www.rbibaseball.com

I thought I tried everything and looked into the DIP switch settings already ..... maybe it is the NES game I am thinking of ... not the arcade version .....   I would assume most people never played a full 9-inning game in the arcade ..... so changing pitchers might not be important.
