Lauren Tyler Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Has anyone ever been able to get Road Runner to work properly under MAME? It loads but the Road Runner moves in just one direction and won't respond to my controls. I believe in the config it says something about analog control. Is there any way to fix this so that I can use my keyboard instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Are you using the correct version of the ROM file for the version of MAME that you're running? I only ask because MAME ROM sets are updated from time to time, although I don't know if this has happened with "Road Runner" recently. roadrunn.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Tab -> input(this game) -> Hit the enter key followed by the key you want to use for a given action. You can enter a number of them if you want (up to six keys for one action, I think). If you want to change it back to the default, hit enter followed by escape...or simply erase the games' .cfg file in Mame's Cfg folder.

SS Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Haven't played the "real thing" for a while. And I thought the 2600 version was hard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 Road Runner because of it's Hall Effect joystick (an analog joystick that used sensors and magnets.. Also used in I-Robot and Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters) is by it's very nature, not going to play too well in any emulated state. Even if you could get a good analog stick, be prepared to do some tweaking as well for any kind of good gameplay response. Good luck. Personally, I simply don't like playing Road Runner in Mame because of the sucky controls. It can be played though... try using the mouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
