About This File
I honestly thought there would be more Data East games. Nothing too strenuous, the usual 4 player games defaulting to 2 players, trackballs and analog controls that needed calibrating and all the other joyous tinkering to get everything playing as it should.
The above images are only a sample of the whole set.
As usual all analog controls are set correctly, or not at all if needed.
In a nutshell, I'm tooth picking my way through MAME platform by platform, and pre configuring the controls for all arcade games that are designated as working.
You know the pain of weird awkward auto control mapping and fumbling around trying to figure what is going on. I have done that for you!
These remaps have been done exclusively for controllers. No keyboard inputs at all and all non essential inputs completely removed. Only what is necessary has been mapped.
Also, I have provided button layout images so you know exactly what the buttons are for every game!
I haven't just set whatever, every control has been tested, scrutinised and re-tested before actually making a definitive decision. I believe I have everything mapped to be as intuitive as possible.
Menu control in arcade games can be unintuitive when using a controller. These remaps have been made to make menu-ing intuitive and easy.
NOTE: If the left stick doesn't work in menus, the D-Pad will.
The per game .cfg remap files are idiot proof. Every input is accounted for and set, so your main .cfg wont auto assign any inputs.
Everything has been done on a 1G1R basis with parents taking priority.
However, as stated above this was for some games, not appropriate. Multiple versions have been configured for choice for these titles.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Download Remap files and place these in the cfg folder of MAME.
Download NVRAM files and place in nvram folder of MAME.
Download Button Layout Images so you know what the controls are.
PLAY!!!
Below is a table of everything that has been done game by game. I have noted everything of importance for the end user experience.

Backfire! backfire backfirea |
Multiplayer Info: -This is a 2 screen 2 player game. 1 screen for each player. This is not ideal for just one player. So, I have configured the parent version as 1 player 1 full screen, and the clone as the 2 player 2 screen alternative. -There is a 'one screen' option which has been selected for the parent version. Normally you could play 2 player alternating with 'one screen' but as we are using 'Potentiometer' we can't do this. But who cares. Controls: -Changing controls from Joystick to Potentiometer makes this game so much easier to control. 'Joystick' is like tank controls, not just left and right to steer, you need to push the stick in the direction of the road (all directions). Potentiometer behaves like a normal steering wheel so just left and right to steer. -Analog steering needed centring in test menu. Dip Switches/Test Menu: -Free Play set |
