88 Games buttons backwards on skeet shooting?
#395264 - 12/03/22 04:33 PM


My son and I love playing the track and field games so I have a dedicated controller with run - jump - run buttons. For all games this works perfectly except the skeet shooting event in 88 Gmes on Mame. I don’t think it is a global button mapping issue because all other events and setting your name is perfect. For skeet shooting the buttons map as right - left - fire. I can’t imagine this is correct (but maybe?). I tried to find video on-line of a real machine but did not find anything. Also looked for any other threads on this subject and did not find anything. Any thoughts?

There's no chance at all MAME could be providing swapped inputs for a single event in the game. This will be how it was.

Considering how name entry works in '88 Games, I think what MAME calls button 1 is on the right, button 2 is in the middle, and button 3 is on the left. That game just expects the buttons to be arranged differently on the control panel. You could reassign the buttons for that game.

Nah, MAME has it correct.

There's a spanish manual, it says the buttons are(left middle right):
run jump run
shoot left right (for the skeet shooting game)
It matches with MAME button 1,2,3.

so, he just has his 2 run buttons the wrong way around.

Following shoot left right as 1,2,3 did correct skeet shooting. It makes the name selection ‘feel’ backwards. I do agree Mame is probably correct just that Konami made some weird choices compared to other games in the genera. Thanks for the feedback.
