Interfaces for Games: PunchOut

Step 9: PLAY

Get a game emulator.

Hook your controller up to your computer.

Make sure to map the sensor pads properly (we used the mapping functions directly in the NES Emulator were using).

Get your punching bag and insert the pads.

Mika graciously found us a punching bag made of big pillows and other soft goodies.

For Punch Out:

place 5 pads in the punching bag (we did it in the following oritentation)

(top of bag)

UP+A UP+B
SELECT
A B

(bottom of bag)

Place 3 pads on the ground:

LEFT RIGHT
BACK


Now you can use your feet to control your character's dodging, and your fists to punch.

It's tricky.
