Warped Polygon

You know what this is all about by now. Setting controls properly for controllers in MAME. Not only that but making sure everything is as playable as possible with fixes and unlocks. Controls: Neo Geo MVS uses a standard control layout for all but 3 games. Most of these have been set in accordance with the How-To tutorials all of these games have. However, some fighting games have been remapped to adhere to the standard 'punches on top, kicks on bottom' layout. The original control scheme is fine for an arcade deck but not for a controller. So, I changed em. I also decided to enhance some of these controls. If a fighting game required a button combo for a hard attack, tag, special, charge etc, it has been mapped to the shoulder/trigger buttons. You have the choice to use em, or not. They are there there none the less. IMPORTANT...BIOS. Unlike many other arcade platforms, MVS game regions are dictated by which BIOS is being used. All regions are actually on the ROM but not selected in the test/service menu. Upon researching what regions are preferred, I discovered that it is very much down to personal preference. Some games have different/mature content when used with a Japanese BIOS/Version. Some say this is the best way to play, others think sacrificing those minor differences are worth the trade-off for English. I even find myself being torn between the two. But, I have found an awesome way around this to have the best of all regions....and a bit more. The Universe Bios (UniBIOS) is the ultimate answer to this situation. A custom multi bios made by a flat out genius. Originally for original hardware, this bios allows for region switching on the fly, along with its own fixes and enhancements to some games, at ground level. You can even switch between MVS and AES versions, this is absolutely amazing. This bios effectively covers you for all versions and regions in one place with options that are very easy to navigate. Oh yeah, it has its own GUI too. If you own any OG hardware, you absolutely need this. The bonus is that this also runs in MAME, allowing for region/version switching as soon as the game starts, if you so wish. Unlocks/Enhancements: Despite having a lot of unlockable characters (with cheats) across many of these games, all of them are unlocked for a one time play session. They do NOT save to the nvram save state. I have tested a bunch of games and none of them do. If you know of any that do, let me know. -Blood, Flash and Violence are ON for every game that had it turned off by default. All the good stuff is here. -Also, all the on screen crap has been removed for EVERY GAME. The Credit counter, Level display, all that can get in the bin and outa my sight. It just gets in the way. -Some other things to note include Viewpoint. This game has a 2 player mode that defaults to alternating play. But it does have a simultaneous option, which duh...is way better. -Some games have useless columns of pixels on the left, right or both. I have changed the aspect ratio correctly to get rid of these. INSTRUCTIONS: There is an extra step compared to the other ones due to using a different bios. I would just provide the correct ini file but this WILL mess with your settings and I really, really don't want to do that. So, you're gonna make it quick with your current mame.ini settings. 1. Copy your mame.ini. Rename the copy to neogeo.ini. 2. Put the neogeo.ini in the correct place. This where you have MAME set to read ini files, it'll either be the root folder (where the mame.exe is), or the ini folder. Just bang it in both if ya not sure. 3. Open neogeo.ini and change "bios" to 16. It is in the CORE MISC OPTIONS. This makes neogeo.cpp (and only neogeo.cpp) use the UniBIOS. 4. Grab the cfg files, nvram files and images from this page. 5. Place .cfg files in cfg folder. Place nvram folders in nvram folder. 6. Do what you want with the images. 7. Start a game. The custom bios splash will flash for 2-3 seconds. If you press A+B+C during this splash screen you will enter the custom bios switching menu. Here you can change region, AES version, and a bunch of other stuff. If you miss it, just restart the game. As some games have had A B C mapped to different buttons, just hit all 4 of the face buttons and you cant miss. 8. You can change other stuff in this menu but other than region switching, there's not much else needed as we are not running this bios on original hardware. 9. Play and enjoy with the freedom of region switching and no crap on screen. Oh yeah and the controls. Below is a table of everything that has been done game by game. I have noted everything of importance for the end user experience. 2020 Super Baseball 2020bb Display Info: -This game has a strip of useless pixels displayed on the right. -Aspect set to Stretched 304x224.

After finishing the project for Sega, I thought I'd provide a "master" download with everything on one place. Below will be a breakdown of all the hardware (mostly in chronological order) along with links to the individual downloads, if you don't want all of it. Moving forward, this kind of over comprehensive breakdown is not going to be needed. Sega is particular, as it has a lot of hardware to categorise by. I knew Sega was going to be the most awkward to get right with this project, hence why I started with it. Rom/game selection was the most tricky, as I don't want crossover going forward. But, got there in the end and its a beast. Blockade, VicDual, G80, VCO Object, Appoooh, SG-1000 System 1 System 16 System C & E X & Y Boards System 18 & 24 System 32 Model 1 Outrun, Hang-On, Mega Play & Misc aka the Mop

This is the rest of what there is for Sega in MAME. Consider this the Mop for Sega. It's been a journey. I won't be splitting these releases up like this in the future. They'll be in a more condensed form. This process was really only required for Sega as it spans many years, and there is a multitude of hardware. If you think I have missed anything let me know. 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. NVRAM files are not needed here. Everything has been done on a 1G1R basis with parents taking priority. However, as stated above this was for some games, a bit objectional for this platform. 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.

There was a significant change in quality and graphical fidelity after 1984, with the release of the Hang On scaling hardware and the System 16 in 1985. This creates a nice category to errrm... categorise these early arcade boards and hardware. There is a definite before and after 1984 boundary to work with. So, here is everything Sega up to 1984. 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. NVRAM files are not needed for this platform. Everything is done with dip switches which are configured in the provided .cfg files. Everything has been done on a 1G1R basis with parents taking priority. However, as stated above this was for some games, a bit objectional for this platform. Multiple versions have been configured for choice for these titles. INSTRUCTIONS: Download Remap files and place these in the cfg 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.

This was another easy going board with nothing that caused me a headache. There are a couple of things to note. Wonder Boy: Monster Land has an official English translation Virtual Console version. Ninja Princess is known as Ninja and Sega Ninja. All versions have been configured for choice. 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. NVRAM files are not needed for this platform. Everything is done with dip switches which are configured in the provided .cfg files. Everything has been done on a 1G1R basis with parents taking priority. However, as stated above this was for some games, a bit objectional for this platform. Multiple versions have been configured for choice for these titles. INSTRUCTIONS: Download Remap files and place these in the cfg 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.

Nothing that savage on the control configuration front with these boards. No other weirdness's and everything pretty easy going. A nice reprieve from the horrors of the System 16 Board.

Nothing that strenuous with the X & Y boards. Everything was nice n easy. Some notable differences with versions however. Power Drift being the one I want to tell everyone about. The Link version of this game has an option to stop the ground level from tilting when turning a corner. Great if you are sensitive to motion sickness. I'm not, but even I get sick of the tilting on the original. No more, yay.

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. NVRAM files are also here. A lot of games need fixes or calibration in the service/test/dip switch menus before they'll work. There's also a bunch of unlockable content, preferable settings and a whole world of strange and wonderful crap in these menus. This will also be covered in this project. Only Line of Fire & Rail Chase have an nvram file provided as it's needed for the game to work. Everything has been done on a 1G1R basis with parents taking priority. However, as stated above this was for some games, a bit objectional for this platform. Multiple versions have been configured for choice for these titles.

Moving forward I have decided if a game has a clone/variant that has a different name due to region, I will configure for it and provide an image for it independently. Also, I have made the decision to drop DINPUT. This is for multiple reasons. Firstly, I personally only use XINPUT. Secondly, I only provide images of an XBOX controller. Thirdly, not all DINPUT controllers have the same Input ID's/Button layouts. I was making the DINPUT configs with a PS4 controller. Fourthly, it takes too much time to get these out configuring for both. The majority of users are using an XINPUT controller. If you were using a PlayStation controller there is an app called DS4 Windows which makes Windows think your PlayStation controller is an XINPUT device. 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. NVRAM files are also here. A lot of games need fixes or calibration in the service/test/dip switch menus before they'll work. There's also a bunch of unlockable content, preferable settings and a whole world of strange and wonderful crap in these menus. This will also be covered in this project. Only Laser Ghosts needed an nvram file provided as it's needed for the game to work. Everything has been done on a 1G1R basis with parents taking priority. However, as stated above this was for some games, a bit objectional for this platform. 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.

Important Sega System 32 Info: This platform had a lot of games that use 2 screens in one cab, side by side. This is not ideal for single player. MAME allows you to display one full screen with these machines. So, I have configured the parent versions to play with one screen/1 player and a clone to play with 2 screens/2 players. 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.

If you use the analog stick too fast the game will get confused and fix the last known steering position, causing weird steering. Changing analog values did nothing to fix the issue.

It's a trackball game where in order to move faster, you'd roll the trackball faster. Unlike a lot of other trackball games that use a trackball for simply positioning a cursor. -Due to how trackballs are emulated to an analog stick, moving faster is an issue for games with a 'top speed' that require a larger 'analog saturation range'. To explain, if you move the stick a little bit it's the same as rolling the ball slowly, move the stick all the way and it's the same as rolling the trackball fast. With some games, left at default, moving the stick all the way isn't moving the trackball fast enough to effectively play the game. So, increasing the analog sensitivity / range is required. -This game needs the trackball to be rolled really, really fast for top speed, meaning the analog sensitivity/range needed to be adjusted. So moving the stick all the way in a direction is the same as rolling the trackball top speed, instead of quarter speed that the defaults leave you at. Setting X & Y Trackball Saturation to 200 gets the best results. You can go faster but controling it becomes absurd. Test/Service Menu: -Cab Type set to 3 Players. 2 Players is the default.

Making this way more playable. Dual Screen Setup: -The parent version 'titlef' has been setup for 1 screen/1 player use. -The clone version 'titlefu' has been setup for 2 screens/2 player use.

There are 2 versions of this board, A&B. The B board featured better clocks and sound. Some games were released on both but the parent version is on the A board. I have configured for both preferred A&B versions in this case. Also, Action Fighter has a clone version that featured analog steering and accelerator, again both parent and analog clone have been configured for choice. Quartet and Passing Shot have 4 player variant clones which have also been configured in addition to the parents. Moving forward I have decided if a game has a clone/variant that has a different name due to region, I will configure for it and provide an image for it independently.

DISCLAIMER: FOR THE DINPUT PRE CONFIG I USED A PS4 CONTROLLER. IF YOU ARE USING A DIFFERENT DINPUT CONTROLLER YOUR INPUTS COULD BE DIFFERENT AS DINPUT CONTROLERS CAN VARY WITH INPUT IDs.

NOT USING OR CONFIGURING SDI: Strategic Defence Initiative / Defense sdi sdib defense Important Info: This game has an A & B board variant. It was known as Defense in EU which has its own clone version 'defense'. The parent Japanese version 'sdi' is different & features harder levels and enemy placement. All 3 have been configured for choice. 'sdib' I'd consider to be the definitive 1G1R version. Controls: -Set this game up to play as a twin stick shooter. As it should be. Test/Service Menu & Dip Switches: -Lives & Difficulty can be changed. Using 'normal' defaults. -Allow Continue set -Free Play set Shinobi shinobi shinobi6 Important Info: This game has an A & B board variant. The B board has faster clocks and better sound.

This is fine if you are viewing the screen from the side as intended, but pitching is upside down on a normal screen. You can't disable screen flipping to my knowledge. Controls: -Another baseball game with that stupid control scheme. Excite League uses the exact same controls. -The OG controls had trackballs and a little spring loaded analog bat to hit the ball. -In the spirit of the original HW the bat swing is on the right stick (Up and Down). -Bunt position is on RT. -The controls are very complicated so a supplement to the layout image is being provided. Test/Service Menu & Dip Switches: -Difficulty & Time changeable. Using 'normal' defaults. -Free Play set Tetris tetris tetris2 Important Info: This game has an A & B board variant.

Star Wars Arcade has been correctly mapped and calibrated for 2 Players. This game is like Lucky & Wild in space. The 1st Player flies the space craft and shoots and the 2nd Player can move a cursor on screen and shoot. The 2nd Player can use a controller or a mouse move the cursor and shoot. Playing it this way is super fun! Aaaaand yes.....you should be able to setup a light gun for the 2nd player. 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. NVRAM files are also here. A lot of games need fixes or calibration in the service/test/dip switch menus before they'll work. There's also a bunch of unlockable content, preferable settings and a whole world of strange and wonderful crap in these menus. This will also be covered in this project. Everything has been done on a 1G1R basis with parents taking priority. However, the clone version of Virtua Racing (Virtua Formula) has been used in addition. This version was released a year later and does differ visually. INSTRUCTIONS: Check your controllers input type. XINPUT or DINPUT. Download Remap files for your input type and place these in the cfg folder of MAME. Download nvram files and place these folders in the nvram folder of MAME. Download Button Layout Images so you know what the controls are. PLAY!!! DISCLAIMER: FOR THE DINPUT PRE CONFIG I USED A PS4 CONTROLLER. IF YOU ARE USING A DIFFERENT DINPUT CONTROLLER YOUR INPUTS COULD BE DIFFERENT AS DINPUT CONTROLERS CAN VARY WITH INPUT IDs. XINPUT DOES NOT DO THIS SO IT'S PREFERRABLE. Below is a table of everything that has been done game by game. I have noted everything of importance for the end user experience. Developer intended cheats are also listed below. Star Wars Arcade swa Controls: -This game currently (0.253) is marked as having unemulated/broken inputs. However, everything feel ok to me. -Most of the analog inputs needed inverting. This has been done with the input remap NOT the analog input remap. -Throttle Down wouldn't work until analog inputs were calibrated in the test menu. -I had no idea this game is basically Lucky & Wild in space! -The 2nd Player is a gunner only and moves a cursor on screen, while the 1st Player flies and shoots. -The 2nd Player can use a controller or a mouse. It's actually pretty cool playing with 2 people and a mouse. -Throttle UP & DOWN is on the right stick. The throttle will return to the middle value after a few seconds.

The turret auto aligns when you move forwards or backwards. -The best way to configure the controls was to set forwards & backwards and left & right, to the left stick. I did try using left & right, on the right stick, but ultimately this is pointless due to how the game controls. -The original game had 2 pedals for forwards & backwards, these are set to up and down on the left stick.
