Golden Axe Button Layout Question
myrmidon:
Hi There,
Does anyone know what the original button layout is for Golden Axe?
After a lot of googling, I can see that the 3 button layout is 'OOO', however I don't know which is button 1, 2 or 3, or which button does which move.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Olaf

From Controls.ini -
[goldnaxe]
gamename=Golden Axe (set 6, US, 8751 317-123A)
numPlayers=2
alternating=0
mirrored=1
tilt=0
cocktail=0
usesService=0
miscDetails=
P1NumButtons=3
P1Controls=8-way Joystick+joy8way
P1_BUTTON1=Attack
P1_BUTTON2=Jump
P1_BUTTON3=Magic
P1_JOYSTICK_RIGHT=Right
P1_JOYSTICK_LEFT=Left
P1_JOYSTICK_DOWN=Down
P1_JOYSTICK_UP=Up
See image below: (I'm going to guess and say these are:
Magic
Attack Jump
But this might be a conversion, so it would be nice if someone actually remembered.
RayB:
That layout above is the "correct" layout for ALL games that have jump, attack and a special attack.
myrmidon:
Hmm, that makes it tricky. Actually I am planning on building a dual '8-way joystick 3 buttons' panel for use with Golden Axe, Double Dragon, etc, but it appears that the layout is slightly different.
Double Dragon is: Punch (B3) Jump (B2) Kick (B1)
Golden Axe is: Attack (B1) Magic (B3) Jump (B2)
Which is completely different (in both number and function). However, if I went for a 1 2 3 configuration, then it would be:
Double Dragon: Kick Jump Punch
Golden Axe: Attack Jump Magic
which seems like it could work well, because the Jump is in the same location, and Kick/Attack is sort of similar. Opinions and feedback appreciated.
jhanson:
Personally, I would remap Double Dragon's keys so that it's:
Kick
Punch Jump
or
Punch
Kick Jump
and leave Golden Axe as is.
