Change mapping key to number key

[giantclam]

...ahh yes, I didn't see the '2'....

I ?think? the cursor keys are hardcoded to match the amiga cursor keys in emulation. Maybe I'm wrong, and someone more familiar with fs-uae might correct me (or whether this is overidden by .uae config params?)... I'm not sure...

From the first link posted above by wiisoldier, you look at the 2 tables.

For example, you want to map numpad 2 to the down cursor key;

keyboard_key_kp2=action_key_cursor_down

You do likewise for the other key=action pairings

IF the cursor keys are hardcoded, this may not work, or both cursor and numpad will be working. You could try unmapping the host cursor key... ie;

keyboard_key_down=none

That may not work if it's hardcoded...

Is there a way to release hardcoded?
It works in winuae, but not in fsuae.

When you play the game, you have to jump forward, but you can't.

Can you try playing a game called nicky2?Then you will know my opinion.

This is how the keyboard controls behave in this game, it's pretty much unusable and remapping arrow keys to numpad will not fix it. What you want is to map emulated joystick controls to keyboard.

This is because WinUAE maps joystick to numpad in it's default config.

[steg2000]

Is it viable with fsuae?

[steg2000]

Can you tell me how? joystic

[steg2000]

joystick

Sorry, I haven't used fs-uae but I assume it should be configurable in the menus.

I just tried both the whdload and a couple of ADF files for this title ~ keyboard controls work as expected ; likewise gamepad DPad works as expected ... I can find no problems, perhaps the gamepad is a bit easier to play with.


Note: the ADF versions I tried more closely emulated real gameplay with this title compared to real Amiga hardware. (but load times are slow, if this were something I wanted to play often I'd stick it on a hardfile).

Following on from the example above for the down key;


keyboard_key_kp2=action_joy_0_down

You didn't test well enough, the game does have issues with simultaneous arrow key inputs, and also behaves same way on real amiga.

You're probably right =) It's likely why I found joy input better than keyboard <grin>

...mind you, if the numpad arrows were mapped to joy up/down/left/right then in theory the emulator will see joy events not keypresses.

[steg2000]

keyboard_key_kp2 = action_joy_1_down
keyboard_key_kp4 = action_joy_1_left
keyboard_key_kp5 = action_joy_1_fire_button
keyboard_key_kp6 = action_joy_1_right
keyboard_key_kp8 = action_joy_1_up
I tried it and it worked.Thank you.

[steg2000]

I'm done with the number keypad, but I don't want you to use the arrow keys.Is there a way?

[giantclam]

See if this works;

keyboard_key_down=action_none

[steg2000]

Thank you. It works.

[steg2000]

Can I map cursor keys to cursor keys?

[giantclam]

Now you're just being silly ~ can you map your right hand to your right hand? =)

I took Aardvark's advice, and did a bit more testing ... and can confirm this title is a real pita if you just use keyboard (and I'll believe Aardvark's report wrt using real Amiga hardware).

That said, game-play with an ADF version & SFC controller was actually fun/challenging..




@Aardvark ~ did you ever try this on Amiga with joystick or such?

[steg2000]

keyboard_key_down = action_none
keyboard_key_kp0 = action_joy_1_fire_button
keyboard_key_kp2 = action_joy_1_down
keyboard_key_kp4 = action_joy_1_left
keyboard_key_kp5 = action_joy_1_fire_button
keyboard_key_kp6 = action_joy_1_right
keyboard_key_kp8 = action_joy_1_up
keyboard_key_left = action_none
keyboard_key_right = action_none
keyboard_key_up = action_none
