Defender Settings?

<< < (2/2)

mahuti:
The original defender had an up/down joystick and a button right next to the joystick to change directions. So... fire, thrust, smart bomb, hyperspace, reverse are the buttons, up/down on the joystick. Last time I checked, Mame has a built in "cheat" that allows you to use the joystick to change directions, rather than using the "reverse" button. If the cheat is still there, "tab" into the configure menu to enable the cheat, it will probably be in the user controls setup for defender or in the dipswitch menu. Probably the player 1 controls for defender. If you don't see it in that menu... you might need to configure another button.

I never knew about this, but I can't find any options through the menus in my .88 version.  I've Googled and found references to this 'cheat', but no specific instructions.  Anybody wanna help a brother out?

I believe you have to have cheat.dat and cheats enabled.
