Astounding, the fervor for an Asteroids button layout

hahah
Good call. :) Of course, then it comes down to what kind of drunk you are, and how bad off you are.
Im a happy drunk, get all dimples and giggly.

Sooo.. you are saying you didn't play these games in mame because the controls were wrong. So basically you are saying that he won't play the asteroids in his mame machine, even though he has dedicated controls, because they aren't correct? (too wide). Even if the cotnrols were right, the lack of proper vector emulation still makes this a waste of space, since it makes the game too hard to play, and he will probably give up, much like my cross country team experience. So aren't you just agreeing with us that this is dumb?
Glad we could agree! This isn't the place for disagreement after all.
I totally understand, your point, after all, that's why I quit the cross country team. It gets hot here, and I like to wear flip flops, but ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- its hard running in flip flops. I got discouraged and was a mess, stopped trying to run hard, got no enjoyment out of the experience.
I always figured that joysticks were slam hampering devices. That's why I installed one on my wife's hatchback. She was always complaining, "stop slamming the hatch!" Bam, but a joystick on that bad boy, no more slamming. Installed one on my front door, pretty much anything that I want to slam proof. One of my buddies was like, "man you have gone crazy! Are you trying to MAME EVERYTHING!!!!" and I was like, "Naw man, slam proofing stuff" :cheers:
I am glad you mentioned the spyhunter AI. I always thought that game was out to get me too. Glad its not just me. I think it pruposely lets me get confident, only to crush me later. Much like my older brother when he would race me when we were younger. I would be out ahead and think I would win and then out of the blue he would run right past me, damn him and his running shoes! I think my big brother programmed spy hunter. I like to play spy hunter in flip flops.
I have a buddy that goes nuclear like that too. I am like, "hey john, lets play some Uno" and he is like "look mother f*r, you even MENTION Uno again and I will kick your ass so hard you will be wearing your butt cheeks as ear muffs. You hear me? DO YOU HEAR ME YOU SACK OF SH!T!! !" So yeah, I totally understand what you mean. Some people are just haters.
Dude, we are so on the same wavelength.
Signing off aboard th X2 train.

Donkbaca, you try too hard. When facts are skewed in order to try to patch a joke together, it equates to "fail".
If anything, you come off as a kid who needs some mental help / therapy.
Donkbaca:
I disagree
Xiaou2:
You would. And thats quite ok to do so, but I suggest you at least get a few 2nd opinions...
As for the Slamming of the controller.. its a feature of this particular games design. You literally cant slam the bullet proof cars off the road very well without the fastest horizontal controller motion possible, which of course results in a physical slam at the end of the controllers travel.
The BP (bullet proof) cars generally have the advantage if they hit you first. However, it also depends on how much acceleration they get on their slam. If you can counter with equal acceleration, then neither of you will budge much. If you have the greater slam-acceleration when impacting, you will make him move.
Remember, car Speed and slam-speed are two very different things. You can be traveling faster than them, and nudge them gradually, and they wont be effected. They will retaliate and use an accelerated speed-slam to push you instead.
So, the game Does in fact track extreme steering acceleration... and from that data, can tell which car should win the collision.. and by how much each car should move as a result of all that.
This can not only be confirmed in the way the game works.. but by looking at the construction of the actual controller. On the main shaft of the Wheel, are two 1/4" hardened steel-block arms that have about 1.5" diameter rubber bumpers on each one. The bumpers at full travel match the angle of the metal that it hits, so there is no damages made to the incredibly strong bumpers.
In comparison, the bumpers on a Starwars controller are about HALF the diameter, mounted directly with only a single bolt each (not a set of thick hardened metal arms), and the bumper is only 1/3rd the length. While weight does play a factor, you can clearly see the SH controller is designed for extreme smashing abuses.
Which makes logical sense, since you are trying to SMASH a car off the road.
