BASIC CONTROLS
Outtrigger is a one to four player game OFFLINE (and 1-6 players ONLINE) that can be played using either the Dreamcast Controller or Keyboard as a main device. Connect the device to be used by each player to a corresponding Control Port A, B, C or D.
A sub-device (such as the Dreamcast Mouse, etc.) can also be used to play, however doing so reqires the use of two ports for each player (one port for the main device and one for the sub). See the following diagrams for examples on device setup:
1 player using both
