BUTTON

RELOCATION

FUNCTION

-

You

can

program

any

of

the

14

programmable

buttons

to

perform

the

function

of

any

other

button.

This

allows

you

to

customize

the

BARRACUDA

2’s

button

configuration

to

maximize

control

in

any

game.

In

these

modes

(unlike

the

Standard

Digital

Pad

Mode),

multi-button

combination

moves

can

NOT

be

programmed

to

a

single

button.

The

BARRACUDA

2

utilizes

a

dynamic

memory

allocation

that

allows

the

most

efficient

use

of

memory.

This

use

of

memory

allows

you

to

program

multiple

button

presses

into

an

individual

button,

allowing

complex

combination

moves

to

be

pulled

off

with

the

press

of

a

single

button

(Standard

Digital

Pad

Mode

only).

This

memory

is

also

non-

volatile

which

means

that

the

BARRACUDA

2

stores

your

customized

settings

and

combination

moves

even

when

the

controller

is

unplugged

or

the

console

is

turned

OFF.

b

wa

The

total

number

of

button

presses/steps

that

can

be

stored

in

your

BARRACUDA

2

is

40.

For

example,

if

you

have

programmed

25

steps.

into

a

single

button,

there

will

only

be

15

remaining

available

steps.

Simple

Programming

To

informing

you

that

the

button

input

has

been

accepted.

c)

Press

the

series.

of

buttons

that

you

wish

to

program

into

the

destination

pressed

is

acknowledged

by

a

single

“Beep”

and

the

PROGRAM

LED

will

blink

once.

*

NOTE:

Programming

more

steps

than

allowed

will

cause

the

BARRACUDA

2

to

emit

3

quick

“Beeps”

and

the

PROGRAM

LED

will

flash

rapidly.

while

you

are

programming

the

unit.

Some

games

may

require

certain

timing

between

button

presses

for

special

moves.

The

BARRACUDA

2

can

do

this

-

see

the

Advanced

Programming

section

The

ability

to

implement

some

special

moves

successfully

depends

very

much

on

the

timing

control.

Button

Hold

Time

and

No

Button

Time

are

the

crucial

factors

for

many

special

moves.

To

work

around

this

challenge,

the

BARRACUDA

2

is

equipped

with

a

simple

way

to

enable

you

to

set

these

two

time

settings.

Button

Hold

Time

is

the

length

of

time

during

which

a

button

is

kept

pressed.

No

Button

Time

is

the

length

of

time

or

“space”

during

which

no

button

is

pressed

before

the

is

pressed.

Programming

Button

Hold

Time

~

In

some

games,

the

special

moves

require

a

particular

fire

button

to

be

held

by

programming

the

same

button

press

a

number

of

times

into

the

same

The

LED

will

go

The

ability

to

implement

such

special

moves

successfully

depends

on

the

user’s

familiarity

with

the

special

move’s

timing.

However,

using

such

programming

techniques

enable

almost

any

special

moves

to

be

programmed

successfully.

You

can

simply

adjust

the

timing

by

programming

in

more

or

less

“spaces”

(by

pressing

the

START

button

several

times

in

succession

to

add

a

longer

Neutral

period).

NOTE:

The

START

button

cannot

be

used

to

program

a

“space”

for

the

very

first

step.

USING

THE

DYNAMIC

MEMORY

ALLOCATION

In

the

Sony

Analog

Stick

Mode

(“IT’’)

and

Sony

Analog

Pad

Mode

(“OO”),

each

button

can

only

be

programmed

to

function

like

any

other

button.

(i.e.

Button

Relocation).

Therefore,

the

memory

space

for

each

button

is

fixed

to

one.

In

the

Conventional

Pad

Mode

(“+”),

each

programmable

button

can

be

programmed

as

a

series

of

button

presses.

The

minimum

is

one

button

press

and

the

maximum

is

40

button

presses

in

one

programmed

combination.

However,

in

this

mode

the

maximum

number

of

button

presses

programmed

into

a

button

is

not

limited

to

40

(only

the

total

number

of

button

presses

programmed

to

ALL

14

buttons

is

fixed

at

40).

The

DYNAMIC

MEMORY

ALLOCATION

technique

allows

up

to

104

button

presses

to

be

programmed.

RESET

With

the

console’s

power

set

to

OFF,

press

and

hold

the

Turn

the

ON

while

keeping

setting

will

be

restored

and

confirmed

by

3

consecutive

NOTE:

All

previously

programmed

information

will

be

lost!

OR

Simply

follow

the

programming

instructions

and

reprogram

each

button

as

itself.

For

example,

to

return

the

X

button

to

the

X

function,

press

the

PROGRAM

button

(two

“Beeps”

will

be

heard),

then

press

the

button

(you

will

hear

a

single

“Beep”).

Then,

press

the

button

a

second

time

(another

“Beep”

will

sound)

and

then

press

the

PROGRAM

button

again

(two

“Beeps”

will

be

heard).

This

will

return

the

button

to

its

original

default

setting.

AUTO

FIRE

FUNCTION

Slide

the

Auto-Fire

switch

to

ON

to

activate

the

auto-firing

function.

This

will

create

a

continuous

firing

function

on

all

of

the

buttons

(this

does

not

include

the

digital

directional

controls)

as

long

as

that

button

is

pressed.

Simply

slide

the

auto

fire

switch

to

OFF

to

disable

the

Auto

Fire

function.

Programmed

special

moves

can

also

use

auto-fire.

However,

in

some

games,

using

the

Auto-Fire

function

on

programmed

buttons

may

not

work

properly

as

the

timing

from

one

step

to

the

is

too

short.

In

this

case,

you

may

add

a

few

“spaces”

(START

button)

at

the

end

of

a

programmed

step

to

enable

the

special

move

to

be

auto-fired

when

it

is

|

desired

to

use

the

Auto-Fire

function

for

programmed

buttons.
