Re: remapping controls

Atari did it to confound collecters' plans 20 years later! :-)

*IF* all the controls from Space Duel actually have trace connections to an
input chip on your Gravitar board, then yes, it MIGHT be possible.
Actually, that's a great idea but only *IF*...

PS Oh, I wanted your SD cocktail alright. The only problem was $, space,
and geography.

Subject: remapping controls

While thinking about how annoying it will be to make a wiring harness to
remap the controls from a Space Duel cabinet to a Gravitar board (Why did
Atari do that!!?!?! They are the same buttons!!!) I thought of something
else... What about disassembling the Gravitar code and changing the part
that assigns the buttons? Then you could have a custom set of Gravitar
ROMs that would allow you to just swap out the two games! Ok all you
hackers, does anyone know where this information is stored? Jess, if you
could make Major Havoc 2, this must be a breeze...right?

P.S. No one wanted my Space Duel CT so we already dragged it up 3 flights
of stairs to the new apartment. I guess I'm keeping it FOREVER now! :P
So I want to make it a SD/Gravitar CT now so I get more use out of it.
