@pjft Thanks, yeah the one in particular was Faster than Speed. It booted up fine, but none of the controls worked

@Krakatoa Haven't tried it, apologies. It shows as running OK on the compatibility list.

See if this helps: https://github.com/libretro/flycast/issues/865

From the search I shared :)

@Krakatoa In my case it works on my Dualshock 3 controller. Analog sticks for steering, though, can't have them on the dpad.

Faster than Speed

That's one of the games that came to mind when talking about games needing a bit of remapping, and tbh i don't expect it to be playable on keyboard anyway (requires 3 analog axis).

@barbudreadmon I'm hoping to map it my arcade sticks, with six buttons. If not I can my my USB Nintendo controller.

Well, good luck with remapping then, but as i said it's using 3 analog axis, arcade sticks have none.

Krakatoa

@barbudreadmon Good point, I will probably have better luck with my nintendo64 controller.

Anyone know how to get into the service mode for Naomi and Atomiswave roms using a keyboard?

barbudreadmon

@Krakatoa did you enable the service mode buttons in core options ? they are disabled by default to avoid misspress while playing

Krakatoa

@barbudreadmon yes I enabled them thanks, but it wants me to use l3 and r3 which I don't have on my system. That's why I was wondering if you could access it ca the keyboard.

pjft

@Krakatoa You can change them in the RetroArch menu, even if temporarily.

Krakatoa

@pjft Thanks that worked, I mapped coin and select to service and and test, then after restarting I was able to get into test and service mode

@Krakatoa
how did u get to go the the service menu?
i enabled the service mode button in the core options.
but cant find where in the RetroArch menu it is ...
having a keyboard and ps3 control

Krakatoa

@shavecat The service menu is the Naomi service/Atomiswave menu. You need to set it to something other then R3 and L3 within the control in the retroarch menu. Reboot and then press the service button on boot. When you see the Naomi/Atomiswave screen.

To navigate the service menu use the buttons you assigned to service/test buttons

Anyone managed to get Virtua Golf working? I can only get it to boot using the deprecated lst files. if I use the newer MAME version it throws up an error 01 on boot.

Error code "Error 01
Display: THIS GAME IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BY MAIN BOARD."

NVM fixed. I forgot to include the chd file :)
