A question of tengai (sengoku blade) on MAME.

Post by irakatz »

Hi all,

I am playing tengai on MAME (actually, shumpmame 4.2).
In this game, we can click buttom 1 for shot. And when we get a power-up, we can hold buttom 1 and release for powerful shot. (Actually I don't know how to describe it, just copy from wiki).

So, I know we can perform auto shot, but can we perform "auto powerful shot" on MAME?
Imaging a specific auto fire, it will hold a key for a time, then release and soon hold.
I think it is useful for me, because I use "Ayin" to play this game. The powerful shot of him is fast and can generate much damage.

Could anyone help me?

Sincerely,
irakatz

If I were you I'd learn the timing for the different charged shots. But it's true that Ayin and Miko can spam them and it may become annoying so... yeah, try setting an autofire with enough "ON frames" to charge the attack (15 for Ayin could work, 45 for Miko) and low "OFF frames" to release it and start charging again (1 is probably good). Experiment with different numbers until you get a proper rate you like. That should do it.
