Wow. Just got this game. I am absolutely floored. Questions for the community

[Ceremony]

Ive been playing NOTHING but 3rd Strike for the last 2 years or so, and I actually came across Melty Blood by accident on You Tube and was like "What IS this?!"  Im a huge fan of dojinsoft TouHou titles but the story of this games rise to fame, the community, and GAMEPLAY I witnessed blew my mind.

So I grabbed a copy for PS2 and PC... (1.03 for PC... the latest patched retail)

My first question is: (and youve probably heard this from every noob that walks in here)

Im running this in my MAME Cabinet ... a restored and refurbished MKIII cabinet with two 6 button player setups.  27" square arcade monitor.  But the sticks obviously are patched into keyboard, they arent actually plugin joysticks and I found nowhere in the game to change keyboard settings??

Thanks for your help!

[MeltyGamer]

is it possible for you to include a screenshot of what you are using? 

[dakanya]

This was intended for MBR but works for MBAC. You can change the key config with this. There are extra buttons but you'll figure it out.

I'd ditch the PS2 version because it's a relic now.

[Ceremony]

Thanks!  Will get this going after work.  Here is a picture of our Cabinet... we have Third Strike, Alpha III, Turbo, Guilty Gear, SNKvsCapcom, and Melty Blood running off this thing in our office.  We are a design/game company and all fighter nerds so everyone is very curious about this "new game" I'm talking about.  Downtown LA will never be the same!

GO GET RIGHTS TO PORT MBAC INTO US NOW,

Have you actually played Tsukihime yet?

[llama_egg]

I would guess the answer is a no 

[Alfonse]

Melty Blood is not doujin nor has it have anything to do with Touhou 

[LoliSauce]

Yeah, but Melty Blood started off as a doujin game, didn't it?

Yes, it was a doujin game to begin with. It got picked up later.

It used to be looked as as "oh that fighting game thing about Tsukihime"
and was written off as an advertisement sort of

now it's the opposite: no one plays Tsukihime and they play MB.

It makes me sad.

[Alfonse]

All right, I thought it was born as an actual retail game like Tsukihime 

[Sh1k1]

Tsukihime also began as a doujin game, dude.

[Alfonse]

My definition of a "doujin game" is a fan-made or amateur game, I hardly consider TYPE-MOON creations under those.

[REAL DAKANYA TALK]

that's exactly what they are though.

[Sh1k1]

Alfonse: The problem with your definition would be that although TYPE-MOON have now established themselves as a proper entertainment software company, they began as a doujin circle.

Thanks for clearing that up. It made more sense now

So true, so true, it's a sad day for all Type-moon'ers everywhere. Well, at least I can gladly say I found Melty Blood after whorring Tsukihime and Kagetsu Tohya.

Yay, another individual like me. Preach it, bro. I got into Melty LONG after I had whored out all I could from Akiha's route in Tsuki.

I found Melty before I played either, but I played both pretty shortly after getting into Melty.

So that makes three of us.
