I just did a video on Boxing Bugs which is interesting. Tac/Scan and Major Havoc are probably my favorites among the lesser known ones. The Star Trek game is fun too once you understand it.
Awesome, this will come in handy when I build my 2nd control panel for twin stick shooters. I still wish they made nice balltop joysticks with a button on top possible recessed. Only way to get button on stick is to get ugly flight sticks. =(
Looks like it can. The only thing that confuses me is that KLOV lists the joysticks as 8-way "twist" sticks but I don't see any functionality for that in MAME or in the games service menu. Maybe they just meant the shape of the handle.
+DarthMarino Two flight sticks ( each with a trigger and two thumb buttons ), a throttle lever with thumb button, a trackball, a spinner dial, and four face buttons. What games can we use this for?
WOW... nice .... didn't know there are so many of them. I really have to test them. Just knew Smash TV and Which games are 2 player games (4 Joysticks) ? (with or without buttons)
The only ones from this video I can think of are Smash TV, Bullet and Karate Champ. In the other video you have Total Carnage, Vindicators, some of the sports titles, Ultra Tank and Tank 8.
+Robert Weatherholt Probably similar to this but it will be twin sticks with buttons. I just made a new controller and I have the games picked out. Maybe this week but it depends when I have time.
It's nothing fancy. It has two mini flight sticks (joysticks with 2 buttons on them) mounted in a plastic box. I just needed something to play tank games like Vindicators and Assault with.
I'm super keen to play Virtual On with a set-up like this, but if I can get away with it, I'd love for the 1P and 2P flight sticks to be interchangeable with standard arcade joysticks. Do you know of a flight stick/arcade stick 8-way 2 in one? I'd love to see a shot of your new setup!
The Ultrastik 360 can work as an 8 way or analog but I don't know of a version with buttons. I show my setup, including the new controller that I'm not that happy with, in the overview video I did a week or two ago.
+DarthMarino An 8-way joystick with a top fire button ( d-pad ), 2 mini analog joysticks ( left and right analog sticks ), 10 face buttons ( face buttons, shoulder buttons, analog stick buttons ) 4 side buttons ( 2 on each side, for pinball games ) and three extras ( start, select, extra ).
+runadumb Pretty much. At some point I tried to figure out a way just to map everything once but Windows loves to reassign things when you plug something in. Plus, as you can tell from my videos, I have a ton of different setups (with another one coming soon). I've just accepted that it's part of the hobby. This controller is a keyboard so whatever I map still works when I plug it in again. When I made this video I just did a single general mapping for all the Right/Up, Left/Left, etc. commands so all 19 games worked perfectly without mapping anything. My racing wheel always becomes joystick 1 no matter what else is plugged in so that and this controller are the only ones I don't have to remap.
+DarthMarino yeah I figured as much. It's incredible that problem hasn't been solved yet. A usb hub that could auto assign specific ports for specific hardware would be a killer product. In the real world I wonder if a simple script could be made to quickly reassign different controllers with different emulators as needed.
+runadumb I don't think windows cares about the physical port the controllers are plugged in. It just sees that something is there and assigns it wherever it wants. It's really a software issue within windows. There is a program called ControllerRemap that someone posted on BYOAC but I haven't dabbled into it.
Great video, loved seeing all the twin stick arcade games
I played blackwidow before, but QB3 looks awesome. I wonder how many more kickass vector games there are that I've never heard of.

You missed out the excellent follow-up to Smash TV 'Total Carnage'.
That uses a button so it's in my other video. ua-cam.com/video/draWpQLXmtg/v-deo.html
@@DarthMarino It does? I have the arcade game and never even knew lol.
@@ForeverLacey09 If you hit the start button during play there is a smart bomb.
@@DarthMarino In all fairness, I have the gameboard installed in my Smash TV cabinet so I had no idea lol.
Awesome, this will come in handy when I build my 2nd control panel for twin stick shooters.
I still wish they made nice balltop joysticks with a button on top possible recessed.
Only way to get button on stick is to get ugly flight sticks. =(
Wow. Found what I was looking for here. Crazy Climber, Karate Champ. I have to get that controller.
It's just a two-player arcade controller. Pretty much an essential if you are into old arcade gaming (or a custom built panel with a similar set-up).
Hey Darth nice video. What is the exact name of that arcade controller?
You forgot Gachaga Champ, which was also a twin stick mini games.
Yeah, I don't think I came across this one. Perhaps since it's not a US game.
Looking to make my own mame Cabinet but have to Ask can the Game Title Fight be played this way it was my all time fav arcade game

Lol DRACO sounds like Jumpman on the Commodore 64.
Wanna hear about another arcade controller idea that I came up with?
+Robert Weatherholt Sure.
+DarthMarino Two flight sticks ( each with a trigger and two thumb buttons ), a throttle lever with thumb button, a trackball, a spinner dial, and four face buttons. What games can we use this for?
I guess it depends on the layout. You don't want those joysticks anywhere near the trackball and you can't really play any normal 8 or 4-way games.
Unfortunately there is no one panel that will cover everything. I really like the idea of modular panels.
i wonder if discs of tron can be setup on mame using twin stick setup.
No, you would need a spinner. You can technically use the second stick to rotate the aim left or right but it won't play well at all.

Thanks, I'll test them out. :)
Hey! When's your next video and what will you cover in it?
+Robert Weatherholt Probably similar to this but it will be twin sticks with buttons. I just made a new controller and I have the games picked out. Maybe this week but it depends when I have time.

Hey! Do you know what I think would make the perfect multi-game arcade controller?
+Robert Weatherholt What?
+DarthMarino An 8-way joystick with a top fire button ( d-pad ), 2 mini analog joysticks ( left and right analog sticks ), 10 face buttons ( face buttons, shoulder buttons, analog stick buttons ) 4 side buttons ( 2 on each side, for pinball games ) and three extras ( start, select, extra ).
+Robert Weatherholt Seems a bit excessive. Some games just need a modern console controller.
+DarthMarino Have you heard of Quasicade and it's Quasicon controller?
+Robert Weatherholt Yes, I've seen it before.
missed firetrap
It's in the "with buttons" video.
can i use the audio for a lo fi song?
Sure.
What controller is that? X arcade?
Yes.
How do you handle the controls issue with plugging and unplugging all these controllers? Do you just rebind everything whenever you switch?
+runadumb Pretty much. At some point I tried to figure out a way just to map everything once but Windows loves to reassign things when you plug something in. Plus, as you can tell from my videos, I have a ton of different setups (with another one coming soon). I've just accepted that it's part of the hobby.

+DarthMarino yes I've heard of it but never tried it either. Maybe it's time I do, now it has the nice GUI
