i would recommend mame2003+ more games inproved input system bit of a learning curve.

nods to the trackball joystick doesn't cut it

@sano thats awesome. Cool to see it get preserved.

@thelostsoul Good point.

We used to have a couple of arcade machines in the common room at Uni. They swapped them around every month or so.

I remember one time they had Robocop, and people used to stand next to the enemy guy that throws hand grenades and just shoot his hand grenades over and over again while the timer counted down. They knew how many seconds they had to have left in order to complete the level before they ran out of time.

I never worked out whether you got more points per shot hand grenade than you got for remaining time left, but presumably they thought it was worth their while.

Made for a pretty boring game to watch though!

@jrpohlman39 good news... I had the exact same problem a while ago with Robotron. Please see the discussion here:
You can map this in mame menu. Within the game it can be accessed via keyboard by pressing TAB key. You can map player 2 joystick to player 1 inputs.

Even better: with the new and very cool mame2003-plus-libretro emulator there is a core option implemented for this. Once set, it enables this control scheme for all dual joystick games. See this github issue 278 and github issue 216

There is a dedicated thread in this forum for mame2003-plus here

Sorry for being late. I’m traveling this week. MAME ROW #92 is live!

Thanks so much everyone

I can not believe I missed this game! :( I used to have the snes version called Kirby's Avalanche (US) Kirby's Ghost Trap (UK) I bought it because it was playable on the X-Band modem. Had a lot of fun playing people from all over the country. and while I can ..well could hold my own..now maybe not so much xD

@cloudlink It's in the file mamenames.xml in the resources folder of the RetroPie EmulationStation repo: https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation

Here's the direct link to the raw file.

@Corbidorbi There is a dip switch setting for this game to flip the screen. Try pressing tab key when in game and see if you have a setting for that.

I still can't break out of a headlock. This game is dead to me until someone can show me how they did it.

MAME ROW #89 is live.

@dipkid Great work. The second photo shows it way better.

@ayekaye Very formidable. Especially since you learned the skills along the way.

@obsidianspider thanks.

I confirm that on Mame they're saved, and that on FBA they're not yet saved as it doesn't support high score saving for cps2 yet. Found this:
