zylon Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Our game for round 4 is Missile Command. Play on default game with no bonus cities and see how far you can go. That trick method of letting your last city die because you'll get a bonus won't help you now.... Emulation is fine, as are custom controls. Pics preferred, but not required except for HSC records and wins. Round ends on Sunday April 12th 2015 @10PM EST I got used to time on my computer being off an hour with stupid daylight saving time that I did not notice it had finally corrected itself and will add the hour we got "cheated" on to this round. Current HSC record: Bust it for a bonus point!

jblenkle Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Might have to sit this one out, it doesn't seem to play very well in emulation. Is the 8-bit version allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can play with your mouse if using kat5200 which will emulate the trackball. Set the input to mouse then go through the autodetect just like you would with a joystick. after setting the mouse up..reset the game and it will work Edited April 2, 2015 by NIKON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Yeah, I'll have to work on that a bit, I guess. I tried that and the cursor still jumped all over the screen when I moved the mouse. Thanks!

doctorclu Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) 29,985 Absolutely hating the fire button on the track ball controller. Apparently I was not the only one... http://atariage.com/forums/topic/24848-5200-trackball-question/?do=findComment&comment=278664 Is there a version of this that uses the regular 5200 controller? (30 minutes later...) Got a Wico controller to work but URGGG!!! I can't get percise controls! What the hell?! Either the controllers are jumpy or the controller plots me on 9 points on the screen (corners, between corners, and center.) What is the deal with this game?

+Cafeman Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 You want to use a stock cx52! Missile Command seems to have excellent analog stick synch logic, because by moving the cursor around, I noticed I soon got full screen access (my controller has left side issues in Kaboom).

I can't get percise controls! What the hell?! Either the controllers are jumpy or the controller plots me on 9 points on the screen (corners, between corners, and center.) What is the deal with this game? As Cafeman says, a stock cx52 actually works well with Missile Command. Zylon is a master at this game and that's what he uses. I've found the Wico to work decently well myself, but not really any better that the cx52 for this particular game. The trackball may be the best choice of all, but, as you've noted, the button isn't the greatest. Still, it's quite functional on my unit... perhaps yours needs a bit of maintenance? As for the "9 points" issue you mentioned, that should really only happen if using a digital controller via a Masterplay or Redemption or the digital Coin Controls Comp Pro stick. I can't understand how that would happen using a cx52 or a Wico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 74,155 ...and yes, a stock CX-52 was used. I am still using my old Rev-7 flexi as well. For me, it performs better at this game than even regular controllers do in the A8 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zylon Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Well, I played as promised with the little time I had, but the former champ takes the round.
