How to configure the controls on Pellson rom
1 year ago

Recently, I became interested in speedrunning the game and want to try downloading the pellson practice rom (what I used to do is to load a savestate from my emulator and practice from there, but now I want to actually try speedrunning the game). I have no trouble patching the rom, but when I try to configure the controls for settings like retry, save, and load, nothing happens. I follow the directions below to configure it but the controls still aren't changing. Also, whenever I try to play the game, peach is on the loading screen instead of Mario, thus I'm unable to play the rom at all (that could be related to the issue but idk) Any response is appreciated!

Save/Select + Right Load/Select + Left

You probably patched the rom badly or you used a non-original rom for the patch

Oh. I never thought about that. What Rom do you patch it with? I applied the patch with the Super Mario Bros. World file. Is there a different file I should patch with? I still keep getting Peach instead of Mario, and my controls still aren't changing (they're all bound to S and B for some reason)

Super late to this but I’m having the same problem

Check if you are doing it right, ''Settings'' - Save/Load Buttons - Press any button or combination of buttons, hold them down, UNBOUND will start flashing, when it stops flashing you will stop pressing the keys/buttons. - Then press enter to return to the title screen.

Doesn’t really help with it. Unbound flashes but the buttons that I hold down don’t do anything. All the shortcut buttons are stuck at S and B. It also won’t allow me to change any other settings and is glitched when I try to get into the actual practice. Do you think it is something with the ROM or patch? If so, how can I fix it?

Ummm, maybe you should try to download and patch the rom again, but I really dunno exactly what you need to do.
