WHDload A600 keypad emulation

[alexh]

Would it be possible to add such a feature to WHDload that would be compatible with existing slaves?

Either holding down a modifier key, or perhaps having CAPS LOCK on, turns other keys into keypad keys?

no, each game would be need to separately adapted

[alexh]

Would the best thing be to contact the slave authors of the worst afflicted games?

Will it be a lot of work? (on average)

I would not spend time on such changes. But you can get slave source and do it yourself ;)

i must have missed this thread previously.

just out of interest, i'd like to know what are the worst affected games? i dont own an A600, but my macbook has the same problem ;)

i know bloodwych suffers from mis-placement of the help/del keys, although this can be fixed with a small edit of the binary and the usage of the CUSTOM= tooltype in Girv's updated slaves.

Shuttle, I used to hate not being able to do certain stuff, my brother could do on his A500. I do remember there being some 3 key combinations for it, but it was a nightmare, :(.

so the sum total is one slightly obscure space-shuttle simulator? hmm

hardly an abundance is it?!

So why does everyone always bitch about A600 having no keypad if there is only one title that was affected?

"everyone" ? "always"? hmm.. interesting choice of words

anyway, i've asked for examples and had one response. i've found f/a18 on another thread, so that's two. Bloodwych i knew of already, and mentioned myself.

sorry if my sarcasm offended you alexh, but you started the thread here, so you could at least give a reply that includes some examples, since i was going to see if there were any i might be interested in attempting to fix.

There were alot of others, but shuttle sticks in my mind, cause i never finished the hubble telescope repair mission.

Dont get me wrong, they had multi key combo's, and I loved my A600 as it had a HD, :).
