ey All,

Sorry if this seems like a "newbie" question. Been reading the forums for a few hours trying to find an answer to my question and didn't come across it...maybe my searching is lame..

Anyway...I have DAPHNE running in a DL cab. I am using a i-Pac to run the controls. My question is: I want to add Cliffhanger to the setup. I know on an original Cliffy cab there are TWO buttons, one for "feet" and one for "hands". Does this mean I have to "modify" my DL CP and "add" an extra button next to the current "sword" button to run Cliffy? Or is there a way to wire the i-pac up so I don't have to drill an extra hole on the CP and add an extra button??

Hope that makes sense..

Any ideas or suggestions?

I posted this at the DAPHNE forums too...but thought someone here might know the answer...

Thanks!

Truey

P.S. MODS: Wasn't sure EXACTLY what thread to post this in so I hope this was ok...
 
How does one play a game that requires 2 buttons but with only one?

Of course you're going to have to add a 2nd button.
 
Unless you want to use the the player 1 or 2 buttons, but you would have to be a lefty to make it confortable. Otherwise looks like you will be drilling.

Harsh Frizzy... The newb may be coming from the school of thought similar to the Atari 2600 controls for Defender. You know, if you combine a joystick move and hit the button, it'll give you a different effect.

Cliffy does require more buttons, so you're gonna have to add more buttons to that panel. You have a good question, but I believe there are forums for Daphne that might be able to get you going much faster.
 
Toby,

Yea...I thought about that earlier today...I found a video where someone hooked up the player 2 button as the "feet" button...I will probably end up adding the button on the right side since I play Cliffy more than I thought I would...and for lefties I will probably just use the player 2 button...

Thanks for the info...

@Fred: Your a silly man....but I always enjoy the sarcasm!!!! ;-p

Thx..

Avid,

I searched through a ton of the DAPHNE forums and didn't find the answer I was looking for...I figured I would need to drill in a second button but was hoping someone figured something else out...then I thought about the player 2 button as Toby suggested..by I am right handed...

I am a "newb" when it comes to DAPHNE...otherwise I am an long time collector...these kids and their computers!! sheesh! LOL

I meant no disrespect... and the name is Fried... not Fred. ;)
 
My suggestion would be to verify how well Cliff Hanger works with Daphne before you modify your control panel to specifically support this game. The latest release of Daphne doesn't even include Cliff Hanger in the loader. This may be because of glitches or other issues with the game.
 
Oh... I guess a possible solution if you don't want to mess up the control panel would be to install a button in a wood box with velcro (or something simlar) at the bottom that you could "stick" to the control panel. You could run the wire up between the CP and the bezel...

...that said, I'd just drill a 2nd hole.

Hell, with that theory, might as well just hang it from the coin door....
Drill the hole like suggested. :D
 
Hehe

FF,

I meant Fried...typed Fred...my bad...

Maybe I could velcro the button to the middle of the monitor plexi and you can just hit it when the action requires!!

I knew you didnt mean any disrespect..I been a member here for a while now...I knew what you meant ;-)

My version of Daphne

Witchboard,

I am running the most current version of DAPHNE and it does have Cliffy as part of it...ver 1.0 has Cliffhanger. I am running the restored version too. It looks and plays GREAT! I can play it all the way through without a problem....

Thanks

Jess
 
Cool. I thought I read where they removed it from the loader as they were swamped with questions about something and got tired of answering them, but if it works, it works.
 
Goal 2 go

I know Goal 2 Go was having a ton of problems and was removed from the current version...
