Double Dragon Jumping + various other problems

[dyip32]

Hi, I'm new to the forums, but have been playing ROMs for a while now ever since my actual NES console went ka-put.

One of the problems I'd like to lay on this beautiful creation of a forum is regarding Double Dragon. When I attempt to jump, I can only jump straight up, not up and forward, as needed to cross the river in Mission2.

I'm using Nestopia 1.28 on Windows XP-sp2. I'm not sure if this is a ROM issue or an emulator issue. I've also tried to run it on NESSIE, but I get the same results, which is why I turned to this ROM forum first.

The second problem I get is with Battletoads & Double Dragon ROM. Again, using Nestopia v1.28, the "down" button serves as an alternate "start" button, pausing the game each time I press down. I can only move down after releasing the "down" button, and then pressing again, only to unpause the game and then start moving down.

confusing? hopefully not to everyone. Please help. Thanks for all the great games out there! Thanks.

Check to see how you configured the controller/input for mistakes.

If it concerns your controls, I would guess its the emulator, not the ROM. I have played both these roms using Jnes 0.6 and haven't came across either problem you are describing. I've had very few problems with Jnes emulator. I would try using it. Double check to make sure you configure you controller properly, like Sonic said. If you haven't already, I would try it on some different games, maybe your controller is just going bad and you need a new one.

If all else fails, you could try finding newer versions of input plugins for the emulators you are using.
