Blue button on CD32

fmcpma · 30 August 2005, 18:25

It seems to me that, in an emulated CD32, the blue button (joystick 2) is only detected if the red button is pressed at the same time. This, no matter how these buttons are emulated. For instance, in The Chaos Engine CD32, I can only activate a special power (blue button) if I am shooting (red button) at the same time.

Anyone noticed this?

Is this a moronic question?

Guess so, as there is no reply. Sorry.

I never reply until I have confirmed it myself and I am too busy to test during the week..

Blue button works fine in CD32 boot screens. No need to keep red button pressed.

Thanks again for being available for Amiga users.

I confirm that. As I do that in The Chaos Engine CD32 the blue button only works if accompanied by the red button. In Arabian Nights CD32 the blue button doesn't work at all.

Have you tried any actual games, Toni? Maybe they read the buttons differently from the ROM's.

Someone with real CD32 needs to confirm this. Games can do weird things

no problems here, both with arabian nights and chaos engine
(played them plenty in the past + tested them yesterday or so)

Why is a real CD32 needed here?

Because if the game does that on the original console as well then winuae would be working as intended.

I have an Amiga4000 and have been playing and trying to play many cd32 games with cd32 emulator. I own one original(?) joypad, but I've never been able to get all the buttons working, only red button works.. That's strange

I can't belive they'd release a game with a bug like that.

Nor can I but Toni can't take assumptions as facts can he?
