Problems with mouse

23 July 2007, 15:28

Hello,

I recently installed WinUAE and have installed it, all good.

As I go to play Crazy Cars 3, I cant control the mouse pointer. I have tried swapping ports around, changing settings and still no luck. I don't have a joystick, is this my problem?

I want to be able to use my mouse to select the options and use the keyboard to control the car in-game.

Is this possible or do I need a joystick?

Thanks, Pieman.

This isn't a problem with winuae, the problem you're having is the fact that Crazy Cars III doens't use the mouse

In the WinUAE options under the Game & I/O Ports select keyboard layout A, B or C for port 1, these let you emulate the joystick using the keyboard, then you'll be able to play the game and move that pointer

Yeah I thought that, had a reply from another person saying I need to 'map the keys'.

I will try this now and i'll let you know if it works

Pieman.

EDIT: Nothing happens, mouse pointer did not work even with the keyboard.

Er, the mouse or do you mean the pointer? Like I said Crazy Cars III does not use the mouse at all.

As long as you've got one of the keyboard layouts set up for port 1 (make sure it's not port 0) you shouldn't have any problems.

In port 0 I have <nothing> and in Port 1 I have keyboard layout C. I have pressed every key and the mouse POINTER does not move.

Layout C is W, S, A, D and left alt, so if pressing those are really doing nothing then go to the input options and make sure it's on compatibility mode.

Still no joy, nothing moves still.

Oh I have it working, I messed around with the keys

Thanks for your help.

EDIT: How do you save games?

The EAB wiki i.e. >> Amiga FAQ << has quite a lot of cool information

In particular there is a step by step guide for How to use Save States in WinUAE?
