@IanDaemon If you install Mame2016 from source now you can underclock the games, which does give a performance boost (depending on how perfect you want things to be of course, but they become playable to a degree for sure). This was talked about here : retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/26807/deathsmiles-on-lr-mame2015-any-performance-tips

- DoDonPachi (best SHMUP ever (imo))
- Jackal / Top-Gunner (TopDown-Shooter with Jeep. Very playable)
- Paperboy
- Samurai Shodown II
- Galaga ´88
How does Jackal compare to the NES version? I had that as a kid and didn't realize it was an arcade game.
-
@hooperre and i did not know that there is a NES-Version :)
So i cannot compare it, but i recommend to give the Arcade-Version a try, it is a great game IMO! I has got that special flow that makes you play it again and again ;) -
@hooperre I thought Jackal was just an NES game. Maybe Nintendo of America pushed it or the arcade cabinets weren't released here?

Jackal is one of those games that's good with a rotating joystick to shoot in eight directions. It's kinda hard without it.

Well, i play it like "Commando", "Mercs", Shock Troopers" and so on, i shoot in the direction i walk.
Works pretty good imo, the game gets hard anyway, but i reach section 3 and have a nice highscore-list.
In example: this does not work with games like "Ikari Warriors" at all, i dont play them because of the missing rotating stick. Makes no fun at all. -

MAME doesn't have rotary stick support for those games ?
-
I meant that I am missing a rotary stick :)
I only have Gamepads and ordinary Arcade-Sticks (HAPP-Parts) - no Rotary Joysticks. -

fwiw, FBneo uses some "hack" to directly map rotate left/right shorcuts to L1/R1, it makes those games quite playable even without rotary stick
-
@barbudreadmon that´s kind of funny, i did that kind of hack by mapping the inputs for "spinner axis x+" and "spinner axis x-" to the shoulder buttons too in these, mainly SNK-, games :D
Yes, it does work ok, but i was not satisfied with this solution.
I never played with a real rotary stick, but i guess this might be the best experience. -
@sirhenrythe5th I could throw grenades in front of me, but I could only shoot "up". If an enemy came from the side or the bottom I had to get below them to shoot them. :(
Shock Troopers 1 and 2 are both fantastic!

Simpsons Arcade Game
TMNT
TMNT Turtles in Time
Raiden 1 + 2
DoDonpachi -

@VictimRLSH
sure, you can map the inputs that way for every game meant to be played with a rotary stick.
i did that with these titles:- Ikari Warriors
- Ikari Warriors III
- Time Soldiers
- Victory Road
- Caliber 50
- SAR Search and Rescue
-
@ashpool But Donkey Kong 3 is so classic!
-
Shao-lin's Road
Time Pilot
Arabian Magic
Dig Dug
Centipede -
@themazingness I couldn't get Arabian Magic to work well on the "Pi 3". You? Are you using a "4"?
-
@iandaemon I seem to recall playing it on AdvMAME on the Pi3?
