Title: Need help remapping Lunar Lander throttle!
Post by: AllisterFiend on April 20, 2005, 07:08:50 pm

I seem to be having trouble mapping the throttle in Lunar Lander to a different key.

All I want to do in MAME .95 is change the PADDLE DEC from the UP ARROW to the RIGHT CTRL but after I do it I have no control over the thrust.  Can this be done?, I noticed that the UP ARROW is highlighted in white (what does that mean?).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Lunar Lander used a throttle lever which is difficult to emulate with simple buttons. Even with the standard key-mappings, I just tried Lunar Lander and it's very un-responsive to thrust. I think this is because the 'maximum' throttle is set too low.
Try going into Analog Controls > Paddle Digital Speed and set it to 20 or 25 or whatever feels good to you.

Thanks JoyMonkey, that seemed to do it, I did not think I needed to go there and change anything since I just wanted to change the key that activated the thrust.  Once again, thanks for your help.
