backfire! clone rom support?

[kounabi22]

Dont know if you can add clone rom of backfire ---> backfirea

[barbudreadmon]

Hmmm the clone has been present in our source code for a very long time but flagged as non-working for some reason. There is also some weird comment about having to set the inputs to joystick in service mode but it's apparently the default.

It looks fine, i can't really say much more since i absolutely sucks at that kind of racing game, maybe dink know of some issue explaining it's flagged as non-working ?

needs analog inputs hooked up before we do that

[barbudreadmon]

the game seems playable with the 8-way stick though ?

[dinkc64]

I've added it (locally), but it is unfortunately very buggy :/ In the service mode it's positional, but go to the game, and the wheel is unsynchronized...

Might be better to try to get the optical to work, its probable a simple quadrature

DERP!
It just needed calibration :)

Hi, set #2 (backfirea) was added, along with analog wheel input note: set #1 defaults to 8-way joy, set #2 defaults to analog wheel

If you have trouble controlling the vehicle w/analog, delete backfire*.nv before launching game

@barbudreadmon, the game is almost unplayable with 8way joy, its almost like it was made for analog wheel, but the 8way joy was an afterthought to support old cabs without a wheel

in the 2 screen mode the 2nd player coin button is not working...you can get coins by pressing left analog stick up. On both original rom and clone

fingers crossed, it should be good now :)

hopefully!
