Warped Polygon

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. 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, as stated above this was a bit objectional for this platform with some games. Multiple versions have been configured for choice for these titles. 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 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 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.

Images provided for both. -Don't forget you need to hold the Foot Pedal button to come out of cover and reload. -MAME has pinpoint accuracy out the box with this game. -Analog Saturation is fine at Defaults. Test/Service Menu & Dip Switches: -The 'Service' dip switch needs to be activated to access the test/service menu. It also needs to be deactivated to exit the test/service menu. -To access the calibration test menu you need to hold the service button then activate the test menu dip switch. In other words, hold 9 then press F2 on your keyboard. -Various settings are adjustable. Lives, difficulty/time. Using 'normal' defaults. -Free Play. Tokyo Wars tokyowar Controls: -Despite being a tank game it doesn't really control like one. You drive the tank like a car, and the turret only moves left and right when you come to a stop. You don't have 360 degree control over the turret. Only 180 degrees in the direction you are facing. 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. MAME defaults this to LT & RT. I changed this so it feels more like a tank game with intuitive controls. -Analog Saturation is fine at Defaults. Test/Service Menu & Dip Switches: -The 'Service' dip switch needs to be activated to access the test/service menu. It also needs to be deactivated to exit the test/service menu. -Various settings are adjustable. Tank colour, link ID, number of laps enemies, difficulty. Using 'normal' defaults. -Free Play. Cheats: -Extra Time -I haven't tried this one. If you want more time just set it in the service menu as performing this cheat with the current control setup is impossible. Press the right and left pedal simultaneously 50 times, then turn the steering wheel LEFT and RIGHT.
