I was playing Tron on MAME32 and I was playing the I/O Tower section with the grid bugs and a solar sailer flew by and dropped off what looks to be a BIT. I collected it but not sure what its purpose is? Anyone have an idea?

IN the Mame itself or the original Arcade Game that you were playing? I was not aware of a solar sailor passing on top when I was playing the game as a teenager when the original arcade was available.

I don't suppose you could help another program out and say where you got the TRON game for MAME...?

*leans in*

www.mame.dk

And you'll have to register to be able to download them for free. >_> Doesn't cost anything!

*runs off*

Hahaha. It's because I've visited the site a lot and gotten quite a few old arcade roms.

Old school GORF is just creepy compared to the C64 port of Gorf. o_O

Yep. They all should be there.

The only problem is that Classic Gaming carries arcade roms from an older build of MAME and they may not work with the currect version of MAME due to a more accurate dump of the arcade roms.

But yes, that is one place also.

I am just suprised what with all the remakes of arcade classics that none of the top game systems have brought
the original TRON arcade games home. I have MAME copies
but I'd much rather have something lagit. Oh, does anyone
know of any TRON or Reboot skins for the Sims or Jedi
Outcast?

Well, the first problem is probably aquiring rights from Bally/Midway for the game AND Disney for the Tron rights.

The second is, there isn't a joystick/spinner controller combo out there (Except for the Wingman Warrior which isn't being produced anymore) to make the game 'fun'. Personally, I've tried Tron and Discs of Tron with the joystick/mouse combo and it's DEFINATELY not the same, play-wise.

Guess I'll have to wait until I get off my derrier someday and finish my MAME cabinet which will have the famous trigger-stick/spinner combo so I can play Discs of Tron again ('cause I already have a Tron upright )

The only thing that you wouuld need to do. And I'm just thinking about it. Is the pinout required. And I am sure that you can find out the pinouts required for a joystick plug that is behind on your mnputer../ Like I said its only an idea.

Even easier is to make a spinner out of a spare $5 mouse: Twisty Grip's FREE spinner instructions
