Let's say you're playing King of Fighters '98 on Dreamcast. It's you and three friends. Each person perfers a different type of controller, or prefer their controllers to have different button set-ups. So, each of you plugs your own controller in, and on the memory card you have your settings saved.

You start a two-player versus game. The first person to register their controller becomes player one. The next person to register becomes player two. Fight, one person loses. From their, and of the three open players can jump in as the next challenger. As soon as their controller is recognized, their button settings are loaded off of their memory card. Hell, you could even have it so that the order the controllers tried to jump in is the order the players will get "nexts" once somebody loses.

I've been in situations before where controller swapping and button settings were changed after each match. Why in the world the fact that we have four controller ports is not being used, I'll never know. Capcom, SNK, Sega, and Namco should especially be ashamed.

You should be ashamed for a)playing KoF and b)using a controller to do so.

I don't think most people customize console controls enough for this to be a huge issue.

As long as they're rechargeable by plugging them into a receptacle built into the console. If I need batteries, fuggedaboudit.

I'm talking about gamecube games mostly. A lot of times the game just checks slot A for the save file, and in some cases you can't even ask the fucking thing to check slot b. IIRC, mario golf is that way.

KoF'98 > Any of us.

And I was using a Saturn pad, which so far as I'm concerned, is excusable.

The point is, there's no reason to not have that function in place.

I'm still amazed by Blast Processing. :p

Shenmue?

I think the future of gaming should have football. Lots of football. I can only hope.

GOOD CALL. I hate that bullshit.

it'd be a good call to get rid of memory cards... it's like floppy discs. They're stupid.
