Strike Gunner STG MAME Controls

Strike Gunner STG (rom: stg)

According to the in game service mode and the flyers at the Arcade Flyer Archive, this game should have a third button allowing a combined 2-player attack. However, this is not emulated in MAME. Any ideas on how to add it? I know someone recently edited the controls for another game.

Cheers,

I'll look into it for you.
EDIT:  Fixed.  Check for it in 0.135u1.

Awesome, thank you! 

Just for future reference, how did you do it?

Fortunately, it was not hard.  In the driver (seta.c), there were preset macros for control panel types to cover all the games.  It was simply a matter of changing the macro type to match what was needed (from 2 button to 3 button).  JOY_TYPE1_2BUTTONS was changed to JOY_TYPE1_3BUTTONS in the input section for that driver.  Not all input changes are that easy as many driver are not preset in that way.

Just downloading the new MAME update, I'll let you know how I get on! Thanks again!
