greenween Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Sorry to have to start a new topic. Is there a playable Tron emulator to be found????

RickR Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 It's a really hard one to emulate due to the spinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenween Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Exactly! You'd think left/right shoulder buttons could take care of that. "Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 It's true...you almost need to build your own controller to make TRON or Tempest worthwhile in emulation. Even if you used a mouse or mouse wheel as the spinner, it would be hard to hold that and a joystick/gamepad at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 It's true, he does. There are some games and systems that just don't emulate well. Tron is a perfect example. The arcade game had the controls and lighting that really don't allow for substitution. Other examples: Vectrex, Virtual Boy, Tempest, Front Line.... anything else?

Rowsdower70 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I do like Tempest on the Jaguar though. Gyruss would be on that list too.

Atari Adventure Square Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 The closest I came to it was on the Xbox 360, using the thumbstick as a rotating control. Wasn't bad, but still felt too sluggish. Come to think of it, the use of it was a great idea, but an adjustment in touch-response (ror at least a user setting for it) would've made it work. As it is, the original cabinet's spinner control with the mad dial power was tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
