playable 49 way games...

(1/4) > >>

Flinkly:
i'm looking to make some control panel artwork for a (true) 49 way panel, and was wondering what games are playable with 49 ways in mame right now?  i'm using randy's interface.  i think sinistar and arch rivals work, but what about pigskin and any other games?

i tried searching, but just got a bunch of topics about randy's product, and not really pertaining to my subject.  thanks guys.

mahuti:
Pigskin is playable. Controls.dat lists blaster as 49way as well.

You may have some luck with analog games like food fight, road runner, tailgunner, EFTPOTRM, and alpine racer. I haven't tried them out, though.

Flinkly:
well, it looks like my artwork will be either arch rivals or sinistar, and three buttons a person.  thanks mahuti. (dang, those were an expensive couple of games)

whatzcrackn:
what does 49 mean?  and the purpose?  I am truely clueless........

Flinkly:
lets start with an 8 way.  it has eight directions that you can move, 4 corners and four faces, like this:

000
0  0
000

a 49 way has 49 directions, but not in a circle.  it uses concentric circles (circles within other circles), like this:

0000000
0000000
0000000
000  000
0000000
0000000
0000000

it includes the center as a switch, but i left it off for visual purposes.  so if you pushed right slowly, first your guy would walk, then jog, and then run.  get it?  as you hit each switch in that direction, games usually take it to mean different levels of speed.
