Unfortunately this Retroarch device isn't working for me! 

The console emulators work fine, but with the arcade ones I can't seem to activate the "insert coin" function.

The first time I configured the controls I was able to play but I'd messed up a couple buttons... reconfigured and now it won't insert coin.

I see a lot of other people have the same problem and no one seems to know what to do.  :(

 

Maybe I'll see about getting MAME on the PSP or something...

Can’t you just plug in a USB keyboard?

 

- launch arcade emulator 

- hit TAB on keyboard to bring up menu

- set controls

- assign “player 1 coin” to button of choice

- exit menu

Nice one!  Tough game

 

 

Thanks...I haven't played this one in a long time and now I can't quit playing it. I keep saying "just one more game" and then 20 games later I say the same thing again. I'm having trouble getting to the 18 thousands again though. I've gotten to 17 thousand a few times.

That's my problem as well with both Asteroids and Asteroids Deluxe.  I hit a certain high score and then can play 4 or 5 additional games in a row - sometimes more - and get nowhere near that score.  It can be pretty discouraging...

Hey, does Asteroids Deluxe have a warp? I thought it did, but none of the buttons on my controller seem to do it and I have yet to find a key on my keyboard that does it either.

I think Deluxe removed the warp function and provided a short-time shield instead...?  The reason I don't know with 100% certainty is because I never use that button on either Asteroids or Deluxe.  I've just never been able to react quick enough to make use of it.
