arcade cabinet controls

[shuusin]

Please implement local arcade cabinet controls for multiplayer (aka multiple players on one keyboard).

use virtual controller to map devices like your keyboard to one or multiple virtual xinput controllers. profiles can be saved. I use this exactly because of having a system that is going to be used in a arcade cabinet

Interesting, I wonder if this can emulate the walk feature when you slightly push the thumbstick forward when using an actual controller?

There's games where the PC version mouse and keyboard controls are superior to console controller (aiming), but the developers forgot to include the walk feature so you can only run everywhere and it looks and feels derpy (like in the game Sunset Overdrive).

Yeh, right? Lazy developers to not even think about it...

... thing is arcade cabinets are long dead now. Why should they waste their development time to please such a niche audience?

I wouldn't said dead, prices are going crazy because "quite a lot" of people search some but yeah, it's a niche audience after all.

It's not really as supporting arcade cabinets, it's supporting two players on a single keyboard (a thing most games do without any problems since decades, but as they already got problem with basic inputs, seems normal they didn't do it. Not to mention Streets of Rage 4 as the same "problem" and is from the same studio).

It's not a big deal anyway, there are a lot other good beat'em up on Steam which support this feature, so it's not the end of the world (arcade already have Turtles games since decaces anyway).

Wish ones? Because for me, aside from sor4 and this one everything is garbage (can't talk about final vendetta though).

After some testing key2joy doesn't have the settings I need it to do.

Pressing the left thumbstick slightly to simulate walking. It just pushes up etc. 100% full speed (running).
