Keys don't work with cd32 emulation

22 July 2005, 01:21

Hi! This is my first post here in the EAB, and I'm having a dillemma with the keyboard input tab of the WinUAE emulator.

The thing is the game starts up fine (Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo) but I'm unable to do things with keys. I can use the NUMPAD keys like 2, 4, 6, and 8 to move my character but the keys I specified in the input tab do not work for me at all.

I dont know if my specs should be posted here or not, but I'll kill two birds with one stone

Hewlett Packard Pavilion (I know they're cheap)
AMD Athlon XP 3100+
2.20 GHZ 448 MB RAM
VIA S3G UniChrome IGP graphics card

I've messed around with other keyboard settings, but I do it to no avail.

Id be grateful if anyone can respond to this problem.

I remember having that problem too. Unfortunately I didn't have joypad back then. It's a glib answer, but you might be better off getting a 6 button PC joypad.

Also, get a cheap graphics card. I have an onboard Unichrome and even a Matrox Millennium G400 out performs it. If you get a cheap AGP card like the G400 or faster it'll mean you don't have to share system RAM with the onboard GPU which so will give a little speed boost to your CPU and release that 64MB being used up already (which too will give a little speed boost in itself). 9200's are cheap these days, and second hand ti4200s are still good cards if you don't want to play games like Doom 3.

Oh, hold on. Does UAE emulate the CD32? I think it only emulates the home computer Amiga which I think need a library to use CD32 joypads (My memory is still blurred over Amiga hardware lol, it's been 5 years sinse I last used them). Anyway, the A1200 floppy disk version.

Yes, it emulates very well CD32 ... see the readme, for example.

Yes the WinUAE emulator does emulate cd32, I guess a lot of people don't realize it. This is one of the reasons why I'm using WinUAE, and also playing some a1200 games to relive those old days.

Nevermind, I finally got it to work!

Apparently all I had to do was put the right keyboard layout for the arrow keys in Port 0, and the buttons on the cd32 joypad i had to specify the right key I wanted it to be, and then hit the Swap 0 <> 1 button and voila it worked.

Thanks for your help guys I appreciate it anyway.
