In Reply to: Warning: 'O' and 'K' buttons... Don't crowd your control panel! :) posted by Michael Bobroski on September 05, 1999 at 17:35:35:
Thanks for this . i was just trying to map some buttons on my cabinet to o and k (as part of pctojamma project) in fact wiring/cabling buttons to o and k keys ... ugly .thanks for the left/right trick, in fact i was not aware of this "secret" ...
: I don't exactly recall if it was on this board or not, but I've noticed a lot of people
: refer to adding 'O' and 'K' buttons to their control panels to bypass the first-time running
: of games under MAME.
: I've also heard of those who do all sorts of things to get around
: this as well, such as editing .CFG files, copying .CFG's from their main computer, etc.. etc..
: I'm sure most of you know this already, but it seems to be a common mistake. Instead of
: going through all of these measures, the left and right arrow keys also act as the 'O' and 'K'
: buttons, so a simple 'left-right wiggle' of the joystick will also get you passed these screens.
: I hope nobody started drilling yet. :) Oh yeah, does anyone know why this isn't documented?
