can I play Puzzle Bobble(s) with a spinner?
« on: September 15, 2007, 10:46:54 pm »
Is there a way to play this game more precisely with a spinner?

I went to the MAME options (INPUT - this game) and set the "dial analog" to my spinner (mouse X ... got assigned by spinning it)

This may be a silly question :) ... I just think PB begs for a spinner...

Not if the original game didn't use a spinner.

Many arcades used either, settable in the bios configuration.  You could look there..

but I don't believe bubblebobble ever had a spinner version... Not around where I used to play it... klov?

Oh man, I would rock out with a spinner for PB.  I'm curious why the original didn't use spinners in the 1st place.

I think that game is actually only 2-way. IT could be p[layed with 2 buttons. Spinner is a 360 and probably cost more when used for the original. Suprosed that they di not used 2 buttons.
