JohnnyBlaze Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I might sit this one out. I'm not sure. My cabinet doesn't have a trackball. Is there a version that uses a joystick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Not sure, but you should be able to configure a joystick through the settings menu to allow for joystick controls. I just tried a game on my laptop, using the cursor keys and that worked without making any setting changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynicaster Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Yes, you can use a joystick. I feel sorry for you if you have to do that ( ), but it is an option. If you tweak the sensitivity and analog speed settings, you might find something half decent. I'm assuming everybody knows what that means; I'd be happy to explain it if not. Ah, Centipede--one of the greats. I've never given this game a real go, and as a result I completely BLOW at it. And it's not that I don't like the game, I think it rocks. For me, it's always kind of been at the back of my mind as a game that I want to dig into, but have never gotten around to it--almost like when a friend lends you a DVD and you have full intentions of watching the movie but you sit on it for a year and never get around to it.

patbb Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Does MAME allow mouse or trackpad input? Yes, in MAME go to Option>Default game options>Controller tab and check the Enable mouse Input box. In.106 that's how it's done. In the game you can change the sensibility with Tab>Analog controls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 5627. Is the mushroom placement random? Yes, as far as I know, mushrooms are randomly placed at the beginning of each game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patbb Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I don't think my left hand can hand much more of this fire button. You can keep the fire button pushed down for auto fire. That's usually what I do, unless I go for the spider or 1 segment of the centipede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
