zylon Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Our game(s) this round is Robotron 2084. Play on default starting level 1. Emulation is fine as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC records. Round ends Sunday October 27th 2013 @ 9pm EST This round will be scored as 2 games with combined score settling ties. 2 controls HSC points + 1 control HSC points= Round HSC points If you do not have 2 working controls, I'll dub your 1 control score into the 2 control game. Let me know if you need this. HSC records: Bust 'em for bonus point(s) Robotron 2084 -(Level 1) (2 Controllers) sdamon 555,150 (Level 1) (1 Controller) JacobZu7zu7 95,425 2 controller Final scores: 536,950 darthkur +11 194,200 roadrunner +10 156,550 sdamon +9 114,150 chuckwalla +8 73,075 zylon +7 38,575 jblenkle +6 28,850 RangerG +5 26,075 peedenmark7 +4 1 controller Final scores: 93,175 darthkur +11 84,575 sdamon +10 28,650 zylon +9 11,125 RangerG +8 7,625 peedenmark7 +7 Final HSC points= darthkur +11+11=22 sdamon +9+10=19 zylon +7+9=16 RangerG +5+8=13 peedenmark7 +4+7=11 roadrunner +10 chuckwalla +8 jblenkle +6 Edited October 28, 2013 by zylon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 536,325 (2 controllers) 93,175 (1 controller) So close to breaking both records. Grrr. Game is so frustrating using only one controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblenkle Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Can anyone clue me in on what buttons you use to FIRE with? I can move around the screen, but can't fire. I'm using the Kat5200 emulator. I thought I had my emulator set up at one time to play this game using both my joystick and keyboard, but I evidently didn't save that configuration.

I always use OE stuff for this game, but I would use the D-pad for fire and stick for movement on my DC emulator version. Try the arrow keys.

jblenkle Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Well, thanks...but I am not using a DC emulator I'm using Kat5200 and I need to know specifically what keys or buttons on the Atari 5200 controller are used to FIRE and whether controller 1 or 2 is used for this function. Guess I'll have to see if I can locate the instructions as nothing I seem to press on my controller or keyboard fires...but I can run all over the place just fine... EDIT: Found the manual...didn't help much. I've tried three different emulators now with basically the same result. I can move, but I can't fire.

NIKON Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Well, thanks...but I am not using a DC emulator I'm using Kat5200 and I need to know specifically what keys or buttons on the Atari 5200 controller are used to FIRE and whether controller 1 or 2 is used for this function.

EDIT: Found the manual...didn't help much. I've tried three different emulators now with basically the same result. I can move, but I can't fire. Here is hopefully an answer to your problem...since I use kat5200 as well NOTE: this is for setting up Robotron for a Two Controller simulation using one controller. First go to Options and select Input 1. Select Keyboard Input 2. Make sure you are on the Player One Tab and then select a direction for your joypad/stick 3. Make Sure you have Joystick selected in the box. Click on Auto Detect and then move the D-pad/Stick in that direction and let go...it sometimes takes a second to register..you may have to press it in the desired direction twice, depends on the speed of system. Rinse and repeat for all other directions 4. Make sure that you uncheck Simulate Analog and then click OK As with the set up for Player 1 set up Player Two directionals except use your Gamepad / Joystick Fire Buttons using Auto Detect..example select Up then click on Auto Detect you would then press a fire button to simulate Player Two's Up direction Once you have completed all four directions ... make sure Simulate Analog is unchecked and click on OK. This configuration will remain in effect until you change it. To setup the fire buttons for Player One just click on Top Button then Auto Detect then press a fire button...repeat for Bottom Button. I hope this clears up your problem...I had the same problem for awhile until I started playing with the settings and then the finally worked and I left them alone.

For single mode, control 1 moves and upper fire button fires ahead of you, lower one fires behind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblenkle Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Robotron 2084 - 38,575 Not sure what mode you would consider this. I used NIKON's method for using one joystick as two controllers on the Kat5200 emulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Robotron 2084 - 38,575 joe's robotron - 38,575.png Not sure what mode you would consider this. I used NIKON's method for using one joystick as two controllers on the Kat5200 emulator. I'd count it as 2 controls. Single control would only use 1 fire button.
