S.BAZ Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
