Analysis

  • 13906 

    The backgrounds of Alpha 2 are astoundingly well-drawn. The Tokyo house with the boy playing a video game, and the neighboring houses lovingly rendered in the background. And the truck stage where the blinking lights on the truck reflect off the exhaust pipe metal. The Shanghai stage has puddles with splash effects, rings, and reflections of the fighters. Such incredible detail.

    I've been supporting Jose Tejada on Patreon. He has now recreated the CPS2 in FPGA form, and I can start playing these games on my MiSTer. I installed the MRAs and other files as explained by the instructions, and after running the update_all script, SFA2 booted up.

    Erik and I played an hour of Street Fighter, and I learned how the Alpha Counters work, although I very rarely managed to pull one off.

    I learned that you can emulate a joypad on the MiSTer by setting up keyboard keys in the system menu and then pressing ScrollLock or NumLock to switch modes when a core is loaded. I set up the keys like I normally do, ASDF for directions, JKL; for face buttons, and UI for shoulder buttons. Thus, key mappings for console games will work like I expect them to. However, for mapping this to an 6-button arcade system is less obvious. I ended up setting up the same mapping I would have on Super Street Fighter II on SNES, which I think of as the canonical fighting game console port.

    Completed using keyboard controls. I'm playing with more precisou, but my fingers do get tired. I need to build up some more keyboard muscles.
