    so I got my I-pac half wired last night,
    I hooked it up to try it out and its working beautifully :)
    Set up my shift key and all.
    Just a questions,has anybody got the volume up/down to work?

    I want shift + P1 up/P1 down to do the volume

    cheers

    on another note,I randomly picked a rom to try out and it was metal slug 4.
    been a long time since i played it but noticed I couldnt shoot at an angle ?
    I mean at 45 degrees.Is this right?
    I want into mame config and its all set up right,

    Theres left ,right, up, down, right up,right down,left up,left down

    then something that confuses me Right right and left left?
    what are these for?

    Cheers again!

    You cant shoot at angles in Metal Slug games. It's one of the key fundamentals in it's gameplay :D

    You can kind of do it with the machine gun by alternating between up and a direction, but this is more a result of the animation and less to do with design.

    I was thinking that !
    I'll have to play more of it.

    Because you can't shoot at angles you have to jump a lot more to hit your enemies. Which then means you have to think about where you're jumping as jumping into an enemy ain't good!

    Definitely play more of them, some of the best arcade games out there :). Stick with 1, X & 3.

    X is a remake of 2, but with a lot of the issues fixed.

    4 & 5 are enjoyable, but nowhere near as good as 1, X & 3.
