I've been having trouble with Mark of the Wolves on my multi. For whatever reason the button settings are always messed up on either the 1 player or 2 player side. Sometimes reloading the ROM fixes the one player side, but 2 player side is off. For example right now on 2 player side A is light punch, B is heavy kick, C appears to be some kind of combo, and D is heavy punch. When testing out via the Neo Geo maintenance menu all the buttons are correct (A is A, B is B, C is C, D is D) so that led me to believe something is off on the game settings. I decided to flip the system to AES mode to check the button mapping in options.
I'm unable to change the multi to an AES setting (not sure if this feature is out yet) so I switch to AES mode via my UNIBIOS. When I go to the in game options menu and go to pad configuration the game completely freezes on me. Player 1 side shows the settings correct light punch A, light kick B, heavy punch C, and heavy kick D. However, Player 2 side displays heavy punch D but then nothing else because it freezes before it loads.
This is the only game I've had control problems with, and its very bizarre. I tried to explain the situation the best I could, but perhaps maybe I should make a video? Again all the buttons are correct in maintenance mode and every other game plays fine. Just for whatever reason the buttons are always all kinds of jacked up in MOTW and I can't change it because the game freezes. Anybody have any ideas?
