Robotron and MAME

Gyck

Hi,

I'm trying to find a (cheapish) controller that I can use for Robotron that will emulate the double joysticks, say something with two hats. Anyone got any suggestions?

A 4 button pad does pretty well.

And there's the €150 double arcade stick by x-arcade. I wouldn't recommend that though - it uses really ****ty parts far to loose for Robotron.

You could build a double arcade stick.

Can anybody get very far in the game? I keep getting stuck at around level 12 with 200,000 points. Will I never get to the magic 1 million point!?

a playstation dual shock and adapter will work for absolutly everything.

Thanks for the information.

I love the arcadecontrols site! I saw a site years ago (can't remember where) that was advertising a dual stick controller but it was very expensive, even before shipping.

I'm really looking for something sub 50 euro. What's the story with the playstation controller? How can they be adapted?

You need one of these http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=23&products_id=93& to have your ps2 joypad work with your pc. There are many variations of it out and can be got from other sources other than Lik-Sang. I think peats used to stock them

i never knew you could use a PS2 joypad on a PC. this could be an avenue i will take some day. using the keyboard is a real pain
