I will refer to this key as ‘UI TOGGLE’ for the rest of this document, please be aware that if the UI is in ‘active’ state and you press ESC then you WILL exit the emulation so it’s important to remember to toggle it back off after each time you need to use the UI. Scroll down to “Configure General Inputs” select “User Interface” select “UI Toggle” (it’s about 70% down the list) and assign a new key to it, one that is out the way and unlikely to be used by the emulated systems, personally I picked ‘END’ If you’re in that situation then (assuming you have MAME already setup, including ROM paths etc.) you should launch MAME with no parameters and use the internal menu to do the following:

That sequel to Arachnophobia will have to wait.As well as the very simple to use Console based systems the new MAME also emulates a number of home computers.īefore you start there is one very, very important thing to keep in mind when running a computer in MAME, the default state of emulation is to give the entire keyboard on the system to the emulated machine, meaning that none of the usual MAME keypresses will activate MAME functions, this even means that in this state ESC no longer exits MAME, F3 doesn’t reset the system, P won’t pause/unpause etc.īy default there is one key assigned to toggle this mode on and off and that key is SCRLOCK (Scroll Lock) However some laptops and other modern keyboards (including my wireless Logitech) don’t have this key, so you’ll need to assign something else.

'Looking forward, we are interested in understanding how genes give rise to novel features of arachnids, such as spider fangs and scorpion pinchers, and also leveraging the genome to develop the first transgenic harvestmen,' Gainett added.Īs of now, there aren't any plans to genetically engineer a species of daddy long legs that actually is as poisonous as the old urban myth contends. The research team hopes the work will facilitate the development of more sophisticated tools for functional genetics. The study is published in the latest issue of the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. 'The genome of the daddy long legs holds great potential to clarify the complex history of arachnid genome evolution and body plan, as well as to reveal how daddy long legs make their unique long legs,' Gainett said.

The legs seemed to be transformed into a different kind of appendage, known as a pedipalp, which is used in handling food. The result was that six of the animals' eight legs were about half the size of their normal, un-engineered counterparts. Next, the scientists used a technique called RNA interference to basically turn off, or 'knock down,' a pair of genes associated with leg development in hundreds of daddy long legs embryos.
