Hi all,
Just a little update. I have Eliminator running now with a Star Trek
control panel using Warp (left), Photon (right), impulse (fire), and fire
(thrust).
(Yeah, I know impulse and fire are swapped, but I'll look into that a
little later... It goes back to how much I want to hack on Tac/Scan and
Zektor to make them "conform" too...)
In the FYI category (this is mostly for Al, but it may apply to MAME
porters too):
The (mac version) simulator is missing "warp" and "photon" buttons. I
added a few lines to mac_interface.c and used keys 'g' and 'h'. Added INT
variables for photon and warp, and declared them extern to main.c. In
main.c, the Star Trek code returns a single button state depending on which
buttons are pressed, so you can't have multiple buttons pressed
simultaneously. I changed to the code to be more like the other games, ie:
c = 0;
if(thrust) c |= 0x08; // dunno if these masks are right, just examples
if(fire) c |= 0x04;
if(photon) c |= 0x20;
...
return(c);
Al, I'll send you my source files back if you want my changes...
