Read Mouse Port 1 possible?

[Retro1234]

Is there anyway to read the mouse in port 1?

[emufan]

i've just tested this example with Amos 1.36 in WinUAE-A1200 setup with mouse in port1:

Cls 0
Do
If Mouse Key
Plot X Screen(X Mouse),Y Screen(Y Mouse),Mouse Key and 1
End If
Loop

really cool for what it is
taken from ada.underground.

That looks like it would only work with port 0.

i always count 1-2 , so does winuae (at least the gui says Port 1 and 2) - but i already thought,
that this might be wrong in Retro's case

[Retro1234]

hehe I always see this, I count 0 and 1 - strange my version of winuae also does but thanks for you reply
I only want to read the mouse clicks - to read two buttons without a extension if possible.

[emufan]

is there some sort of peek command , so you may read from the register $DFF00A/$DFF00C/$BFE001 or
whatever the second mouse/joy port is?

[Retro1234]

I always thought there was a way with the existing commands but it doesnt look like there is.

i don't believe there is an AMOS command for this, you will have to do it the Hard Way, which isn't really all that hard tbh, except for reading the right mouse button, which is a bit of a trick.

In the hardware register names they are called 0 and 1. Because Computer.

im realy not sure how I would do this and it is the Right mouse button I would want to read - for some reason I had it in my mind from way back that you could read a two button pad like this but it must have been for port 0 only.

What programming language are you using?

we are in the deep waters of AMOS
"English Amiga Board > Coders > Coders. Language > Coders. AMOS > Read Mouse Port 1 possible?"

btw. "AMOS could also include inline Assembly Language".
so someone could write some asm lines which you can include ?!

This seems like quite a misleading line. You can't write assembler inline in an AMOS program. You can load an executable into an AMOS bank (with Pload command - as long as the executable satisfies certain requirements) and you can have machine language procedures (the compiler can generate these, i never found out how to do it manually, and they cannot be expanded in the editor).

[emufan]

ok, i understand - so far, that it is not possible

#1) but wait: just another article about AMOS and assembler:

Another one of his child prodigies, was revealed to us in digging through the disk of AMOS Compile : AMOS Assembler.

This wonder, also, does not lack interest. It allows, and it is without a doubt his sole purpose, easily integrate parts of machine code in your program AMOS. A little sidelined by the compiler, it is no less a programming tool, powerful and useful.

while reading abit on that website, it seems, that thing is an extension too, in "Bank 14" or something,

Persuambly you are referring to this:

Machine code procedures


The easiest option for exploiting assembly language is to install machine code directly into an AMOS Professional procedure. These procedures can be saved and loaded using standard commands, and then executed from the Basic program simply by typing their name! Apart from the fact that it cannot be listed on screen, the only effective difference between a machine code procedure and its Basic equivalent is speed.


Machine code procedures are completely compatible with the AMOS Compiler, which will not only run most of your programs at double speed, but also compact them to a fraction of their original size. This means that if you decide to compile your programs at a later date, you will not need to alter your assembly language at all. The following points should be noted before using an assembler:

To answer the thread's intent, i would just use the AMCAF extension, as idrougge pointed to.


I actually came here looking for a way to 'detect' mouse in either port. I'd like to implement in AMOS, but if it meant delving into the realm of in-line assembler code like mentioned above, i'd be willing to get to know it a bit better.
