Custom Button Config for
MAME TIME:
I'm wondering if anyone here has a good button setup to play smash tv or anyother 2 joystick game using the standard joystick and six button setup ala (streetFighter), I've been trying for awhile and i can't seem to get a good layout. can anyone post there setup

IMHO you are better served using two 8-way joysticks. I have tried to play Robotron and SmashTV using the keyboard keys and a joy and there is no way I can get the quick accurate response time needed for the advanced levels. Even the beginning boards are hard.

You can also plug in a couple dual analog stick USB gamepads. I find those work surprisingly well for cooperative Smash TV and Total Carnage.

I used to have a Smash TV board in my 2-player JAMMA cabinet (more of a rack of shelves, really...).
1-player was easy: I'd just use player 1's stick for move & player 2's stick for shoot.
But when I did some rewiring to try to play 2-player, using 3 buttons for each person's shoot "stick" (I know, I was short 1 button...), I'd get pretty interesting glitching. I think the hardware or the software didn't expect you to be able to shoot in 2 opposite directions simultaneously (which you can't do w/ a stick but can do w/ a set of buttons). I don't know if the emulated Smash TV will bug out or not, but if it does, there's no way you'll be able to play a heated game of Smash TV w/out accidentally giving the game impossible switch inputs...

well that explains alot, i did have some funny glitching, I know i could go with the player 1 and player 2 joystick route but smash isn't the same without a buddy backing you up. the dual analog works hey?? hmmm might have to try that, i just dont want too much clutter
