MAME special config games

Post by HPR Pinball »

Most mame cabs for sale use the usual 2 joysticks + 2x 6 buttons configuration control panel with 10,000+ games.
If you're lucky there's a spinner or trackball, and if you're very lucky you get both.
I think most people don't realize how much very good games they cannot play with this basic config.
Also lot of games are hardly playable with this usual config. Robotron, the 2 very far microswitch joysticks won't give the player
full control of the game. Joust also need the small 2 way joystick to be 100% playable, this small joystick is much faster than a usual 8 way microswitch.

This place is to list all those very good games, you're welcome to add games to complete this list.
Each time i play mame i find more games. Here's few games to start this list.

All games with a car (steering + pedals) i won't list all of them, you can imagine how much games.
All gun games, samething, there's tons of fun games.
Q*bert (45 degree 4 way joystick)
2 players Total Carnage (4 joysticks)
2 players Smash Tv (4 joysticks)
Food Fight (analog joystick)
Mad Planets (spinner + flightstick)
Tron (spinner + flightstick)
Defender/Stargate (up/down joystick + 6 buttons ergonomics)
Sinistar (49 ways joysticks)
Star Wars (yoke)
Return of the Jedi (yoke)
720 (Special rotary joystick)
Ikari Warrior (8 way rotary joystick)
2 players arkanoid return ( 2 spinners)
2 players Blasteroids (2 spinners)
2 players Marble Madness (2 trackballs)
Assault (2 flightstick)
2 players Karate Champ (4 joysticks)

More to come ...
The video game i want to play is always the one i don't have :FP:
Les arcades, j'suis tombé d'dans quand j'tait pti !! :-)

While we all gawk at the MAME setups that have a sprawling control panel with a myriad of inputs, I was thinking it'd be great to see one of those MAME control panels but with all semi-translucent buttons, or at least rings around the controls, so that when you start a game the controls that are active light up
backglasses wanted: Star-Jet, Fairy, Star Trek (1971 Gottlieb)

Already implemented with LEDBlinky. The active controls light up (RGB buttons). White for system buttons(pause, coins, ESC, etc) and red for game buttons. The non-active ones just blink random colors (or can be just off). I like the blinking.

I'll try to get a quick clip of it in action once I have a bit of spare time. I have to unfuck mine. My button RGBs are offset by 2. Button 1 is active but button 3 lights up. Button 2 is active but button 4 lights up, etc.
