English Amiga Board - View Single Post - fs-uae - a new multi-platform amiga emulator for games!

I had a quick look through the README but I didn't see a mention of a virtual keyboard. This is a feature I miss on C64 and Amiga emulators. Sure, we can change the keyboard layout but that is very time consuming for individual games and can be too limited with the typical USB joypad (not enough buttons).

Can this be looked at in the future?
1. Virtual keyboard to send keystrokes (include left/right mouse buttons)
2. Option to turn on/off joypad->mouse emulation on the fly.

fs-uae looks great, but until this is done you will still require a keyboard to play many games. I'm not talking about flight simulators, I'm talking about games that play with a joystick but require keys to change settings on the title screen / enter high scores / pause / cheat / quit to title / etc.
