Mame And Robotron?

[promisedplanet]

Hello;

I'm considering getting a Caanoo. I'll definitely be using MAME, and am especially interested in playing Robotron: 2084 on it.

1) Does this game work under MAME on the Caanoo?

2) Care to share your experiences regarding the gameplay (how well do the controls do move/fire, etc.)?

Thanks in advance!

Hi !

The game runs on Mame4all and works fine.

You control the character with the d-pad and you shoot with buttons. But diagonal shoots are not easy to do cause you have to use two buttons

Yeah, I was concerned about that. I was wondering if the buttons were close enough together that you could kind of 'roll' your thumb over the buttons and have adequate control over the firing. Robotron is definitely a game where you need to shoot accurately!

Thanks.

You can use a PS2->USB Converter and assign shooting to the right analog stick. But be aware, that not every converter works.
