I turn on the cabinet and the awesome ArcadeOS program loads so I can play the a few games that I loaded by using the arcade controls. No keyboard necessary. I do have a few loose ends like mounting the LEDs but that can wait. I can play Jungle King, Asteroids and Mario Bros just fine.
QUESTION: The video for Donky Kong is crystal clear if the rotation is R or L but the picture is sideways. If I change it to H or X I get colored snow. Any ideas? I also have the colored snow in Moon Patrol which is set to H and is a horizontal game.

QUESTION: I haven't used mame in almost 2 years. It appears the controls for Robotron 2084 need to be remapped. Not much help in the mame readme.txt file or the mame faq document. I did figure out that after you press tab and arrow down to the control, you need to press enter and then the key/button you want the control mapped to. Only problem is that it looks like they joysticks are already mapped correctly. Does anybody have any ideas on this one? Same problem with Battlezone.

QUESTION: I noticed also in the input controls area of mame that you can map the diagonals I believe. I am not sure I understand this. If you map up and left why would you need to map up/left separately? Can someone explain please?
ANSWER:
QUESTION: In ArcadeOS config menu there is a control "diagonals" with yes/no as the options. I have robotron which uses diagonals and donky kong which does not. Does this mean I need to change this option to yes so the diagonals will work in robotron even though I don't need them in donky kong?
