I imagine the owner was only expected to connect one button. The second should be available in MAME (to document that it exists as far as the game is concerned) but should maybe be unmapped by default. The dipswitch maybe applies to the other sets only? |

pictures of the cabinet show that there is only 1 button (like jungle king). so it should not be available to the users ;) when you say available, what do you mean? should I use IPT_UNKNOWN with only a comment about its use, or should I map it to something like 'F1', with a PORT_NAME like "Skip to next level"? |

the 2nd option. The game recognizes it, so it shouldn't really be completely disabled, just, not available by default. |

The 3rd dip location in that set is completely undocumented in the jungle king and jungle hunt manuals (not even unused is mentioned). This game was added in 0.60 with an "unknown" label - changing to "debug" in 0.61. In all cases since added - the p2 button was set to level skip. |

when you say available, what do you mean? You map it as IPT_OTHER, use a PORT_NAME(x) and nothing else. MAME will not map that button to anywere. |

by available I mean the user should be able to go into the inputs menu and select a key for it, but it shouldn't have one by default as it wasn't connected to the control panel on the cab. the user should _not_ have to recompile the code to be able to use the button. |

Thanks for the additional info. I add that in fact both players have a skip button (but P2 only works for P2 when cabinet is cocktail) however, I just sent a fix which properly document the presence of a 'skip level' bit which is NOT a second button in the cabinet. @Kale: My doubt was between making it configurable by the user or not. In any case, I mapped the two skip buttons to F1/F2. Feel free to change it, if you think is needed. |
