On joystick you press only one direction to move up-right. On keyboard you must press two keys. Keyboard has key-collisions and mapping key is indispensable.The TJT wrote:Example1: player1 up + player1 right mapped to keyboard button x....so that when you push x, your player moves up and right simultaniously. This makes combos etc more easy to execute.
At home you have access to control panel.mahlemiut wrote:Not without access to the control panel at least.

Code: Select all
2.n) Mapping two or more of the original arcade machine's buttons to a single key or joystick button in MAME is not permitted. Neither is it permitted to use more than one key or button in MAME for the same arcade machine button.
Good point, I use four fingers for movement however, left/right on one hand, up/down on the other and any spare fingers for fire, thrust, jump etc.Next. To moving on arcade you use hand, one hand. To moving on keybord you use fingers, three fingers. What is more confortable?
Defender is one good example, map a bunch of keys in the middle of the keyboard to hyperspaceAnyone see a positive side on mapping 2 or more buttons to one?
I don't see any reasonable example for allowing that. Not for shooters, sports games and definitely not for fighting games...
I agree with you 100% here and the rule looks fine to me.Weehawk wrote:Remapping your keys is fine, but I thought we had always considered mapping two virtual arcade machine buttons to one keyboard key (or joystick button), or vice versa to be in violation of the spirit and intent of Rule 2.
I would be in favor of changing the rules to make it explicit.
My suggestion would be to add a Rule 2.n:Code: Select all

Sorry destructor, but I don't think remapping the controls (as the topic says) is indispensable.destructor wrote:On joystick you press only one direction to move up-right. On keyboard you must press two keys. Keyboard has key-collisions and mapping key is indispensable.
But what with older scores where players used mapping and where we can't check it (in older versions mame I think)?Weehawk wrote:My suggestion would be to add a Rule 2.n:Code: Select all

I don't have money for it now and more other players probably too.MJS wrote:I suggest you find a better keyboard if you have collision problems (because not all keyboards do). Or better still, get a joystick if you are uncomfortable with the keyboard.
