Lord Helmet Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I was going to put this in the hacks forum...but those threads seem to never get read To anyone that has or can hack 5200 games...how hard would it be to hack Wizard of Wor to default player one games to the first joystick port? It's sort of a pain to have to switch controller ports just to play this one game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Not so difficult. Just swap the input addresses used. But why? It wouldn't be faithful to the arcade game then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classics Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I'd swear someone actually posted such a hack here once, but I can't find it now via search. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohoki Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 my gripe is why do they have player one start button even work it bugs me when i forget and hit start then i think my controller is busted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 The Hack Id like to see is changing to blue monsters to look more like the arcade - its a great port but the chunky graphics on the blue monsters ruins it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Not so difficult. Just swap the input addresses used. But why? It wouldn't be faithful to the arcade game then. Because I use an emulator primarily...on the Wii...and you can't configure the controller to use port 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) Not so difficult. Just swap the input addresses used. But why? It wouldn't be faithful to the arcade game then. Because I use an emulator primarily...on the Wii...and you can't configure the controller to use port 2. Just use the superior Xbox version (which I know you can) courtesy of Shannon, and shove on a controller into port 2 <edit> actually, I forgot Shannon fixed it so you can even map controller 2 to the 1st joystick and more (especially useful for Robotron & Space Dungeon to put them on 1 stick) Edited August 11, 2009 by NE146 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
