Tutankham - Joystick or Buttons
01/22/14 10:21 PM


Hello all,

First, my apologies if this post is in the incorrect forum. I was lead here by the "Contact" page at mamedev.org since I'm trying to report a possible bug. Second, this is my first attempt at reporting a bug so please forgive me if my terminology and explanations aren't quite correct.

My issue concerns the control setup for Tutankham in MAME. Right now the default control scheme in MAME is for one joystick to control the character, two buttons for firing the laser, and one button for using the flash bomb. You can see in the game history that it's set up for 3 buttons.

However, the Tutankham arcade machine uses TWO joysticks. The 2nd joystick is a 2-way that is used for firing left and right. As such, it is only possible to fire in one direction at a time. MAME maps these directions to buttons that can be used simultaneously.

Does this count as a "bug"? Am I missing something incredibly obvious? Thanks again for your help!
