Title: Silly questions....info on controls for games, and controlling cloak and dagger?
Post by: johnnyr on March 30, 2009, 11:14:43 am

Hey guys,

Hopefully someone can tell me how to easily find the controls on various arcade games.....I've looked on emumovies.com and I know they have operator manuals, but that is more for the cab itself, not the game, right?

Also, I notice a lot of game like bezerk and Cloak and Dagger don't control correctly. After doing some searching I see that they user 2 8-way joysticks. I have a tankstick....how should the controls be set up for these types of games?

Thanks!

Try klov.com.  They have the type of controls used listed and their is usually a picture of the game as well.  I think there is another site called maws or something but I've never checked that out before.

Berzerk only uses one 8-way joystick.

For games that use two (Crazy Climber, Cloak and Dagger, Space Dungeon, Black Widow, etc...) there are settings for Player 1 Right/Up, Player 1 Left/Down, etc...
Just set those to whatever your Left Stick and Right Stick are.

Cloak and Dagger also needs a fuse lighting button.
Set that to your topfire, if you have one.
If not, any other button will work.
It is used to manually light the fuse on the bomb before exiting the level.
That will help you get higher scores.
