: That's a separate concern. Go to TriggerFin's page on special Mame input tricks, listed below. I believe that to go right-only while locking out potential UP or DOWN deviations, you would input Right, Up-Up, Down-Down. Haven't tried it yet, but according to TF it's supposed to work.
I'll give this a shot and report on it tomorrow. I have my doubts it will help, but maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.
