      @sleve_mcdichael

      Hey. Figured it out. The answer was more or less staring me in the face.
      In the "es_temporaryinput.cfg" there was a line for the hotkey, which I more or less copied.

      <input name="hotkeyenable" type="button" id="8" value="1" /> <input name="x" type="button" id="0" value="1"/>

      This is my solution. From what I've tested this hasn't messed up anything else even though it does share the
      id="0" with one of the axis entries.

      Thanks for the input. You can consider this topic "solved".

      The version of Asteroids that's included in the 3-in-1 GameboyAdvance cartridge is nice. You seem to have unlimited warps although I can't figure out if you can control them or not. (Was the original like this? I know in "Deluxe" you had three shields.) You can select between two or three backgrounds during the game which is nice.

      The game seems MUCH easier on the GBA , but considering this was a "kid's console" I guess it shouldn't be surprising. I quite like this version. Initially all I played on this cart was Yar's Revenge (not Pong or Asteroids), but now this is another classic arcade game to add to my list.

      @sirhenrythe5th I'd really like to see the high score table :)

      Tangent intro: a few years back, after noticing that I had a lot of MAME games that I should like but ended up not playing them very much because the process wasn't fun enough, I read an article which is no longer online that made me understand why: https://web.archive.org/web/20181120043643/http://insomnia.ac/commentary/arcade_culture/

      I ended up learning that this author seems to have some strong opinions on some topics, and tends to write in a controversial tone, but this specific article I save to this day because it changed the way I played MAME games - and made them so much better as a result - precisely because of what you just said very subtly, "don't play anything with continues".

      As such, I set up a collection on RetroPie where I'd keep some games that I'd just play over and over again, 1 credit at a time, to see how far I'd make it. In the beginning they were Final Fight, Contra and DoDonPachi - I don't think I had any others in my "regular" list. It took me a while to consistently get to the first @mitu score, and afterwards making it to the high score list was an extremely rewarding achievement - that's why I want to congratulate @IanDaemon and @mitu on their scores during just the MAME ROW period! I certainly didn't get to have a score in the high score table in the first week.

      These days I get to the end of level 2 boss consistently, and the majority of the time I get to the 3rd level and lose somewhere around there.

      My top score is 8.5M, 4th level - I don't think I ever made it past it with 1 credit.

      IMG_3438.JPG

      Still, a lot to learn, but it's one of my favorite games from these past 2-3 years that I've played it. I didn't take part in MAME ROW because I didn't have time, but I'd love to try it out and submit a new score if I get to the high score table again.

      But do share your score, really - impressive achievement 1cc'ing this game :) Hope to get there one day.

      This is the only "beat 'em up" I put on my cocktail cabinet. I use a split-screen shader for simultaneous two-player. It's different from what I'm used to (being a non-Capcom-beat-em-up), but I like it. Thanks MAME RoW for re-introducing me!

      Oddly enough one of the best ports of Spy Hunter was for PalmOS. You controlled the speed and position of the car with stylus taps and used the bottom buttons for the weapons. Was a very nice version.
