: : How do you disable the diagonals in MAME? I suspect it has something to do with using the NOT command.
: Yes it has.
: For example for up:
: In the key menu go to the p1 up.
: hit enter. hit up and then fast after each other 2 times left.
: hit enter. hit up and then fast after each other 2 times right.
: The selection should now read: up not left or up not right.
I'll have to try this out because it doesn't add up in my mind. How does MAME pick between "up not right" for up and "right not up" for right? A diagonal is ambiguous. This will help from having a diagonal confuse the code, but it wouldn't ensure that Pac-Man moves to the right when I want him to. I think a true 4-way is the only was to get the proper results. I'll try to prove my theory tonight.
