Apidya not working properly...

Predabot · 23 January 2009, 23:23

Yeah... here comes the obligatory Predabot n00bish whining-thread. So, I'm trying a new game, and a new crack. And as always, there's something I don't quite seem to understand about how to get the game working.

I'm using the Apidya (1992)(Kaiko - Play Byte)[cr QTX][t +40 ATX](Disk 1 of 2)[a] 2-disc crack.

I say Nae to all of the hacks at the beginning and press start games. Then I come to a screen called "game keys" who lists a bunch of stuff, and then... nothing.

Nothing at all... The list seems to mention F1-F4 in the top, maybe as controls of shifting weapons? Thing is tho, I've reconfigured the input so F2 and F4 is used for quicksave and load respectively.

Would this affect me running the game? A little help here guys... This Amiga-stuff is kind of hard and complicated.

Retro-Nerd · 23 January 2009, 23:30

Press both mouse buttons at once in the trainer menu to start the game. I assume you mean the Quartex +40 crack.

Predabot · 23 January 2009, 23:54

Yes sorry, I pasted the wrong file-name. oops!

And that did it!!

Thanks Retro! You're always looking out for the new guys, and helping them on in the hobby.

Retro-Nerd · 23 January 2009, 23:56

No problem. Have fun with this true classic.

Predabot · 24 January 2009, 00:13

It would appear as if I have a new problem however... I reconfigured Configuration #1, and now it seems like I can't use the standard controls of Alt and Ctrl+space and cursor-keys for the actual controls. How so?

sun68 · 24 January 2009, 01:54

I have wondered the same thing for ages, just stick it to compatability.

Predabot · 24 January 2009, 12:38

Yeah, that's the first thing I figured, but if I do that, I won't have any quick-save and load keys.

A 3-button combo to save, is a no-no, in such intense fire-fights as you get into in a shoot-em-up like Apidya.

Well if you already have discovered the input window, why not map quicksave and quickload to different keys?

Retro-Nerd · 24 January 2009, 15:44

You can't configure the controls in "compatibility mode".

Yup, but in Configuration #1 you can

Retro-Nerd · 24 January 2009, 15:45

Have you really read the last few posts?

TCD · 24 January 2009, 15:51

Oh, that's what FOL meant with 'just stick it to compatability'

Okay, so you can't use the cursor keys for the joystick movement or does it simply not work? Guess I'll have a look now

Edit : Found a solution

You can edit the cursor keys and alt for the Joy2 functions in the input window and choose any keyboard layout for the game port. Works a treat (tested with Apidya

)

Predabot · 24 January 2009, 17:41

Hmm... you can? I've only got a keyboard. Where do I find this input? It would appear as if I can assign Joy1 functions to the mouse, but I can't find Joy2..

TCD · 24 January 2009, 18:02

You need to select 'Keyboard *' from the upper right combobox. Then choose the key you want to remap (cursor up for example). Then select the function form the combobox at the bottom of the window. Have a look at this screenshot. I hope it is clear enough (though maybe not

)

Note that my keyboard is German therefore the keys have different names

Predabot · 24 January 2009, 18:53

I think I've got it.

How many joy-buttons does Apidya use btw? Is it 3 or only 2?

And do I need to map one of the keys so I can use pause? I just tried the config, and controls have been restored, but there doesn't seem to be a pause-button?

TCD · 24 January 2009, 18:57

IIRC it's only one button

Predabot · 24 January 2009, 19:04

Ok. I mapped button 3 to space, should cut it. I just realized something rather disheartening however... the game crashes into graphic gibberish if I use the quick-load key...

A bug in the crack or WINUAE?

TCD · 24 January 2009, 19:10

Which WinUAE version do you use Predabot? There was an update regarding savestates recently, so maybe it's worth to use the latest stable version (or even the beta). I just tried it here with the normal save and load state and it works properly. If the newest version doesn't fix it i'll try it with quicksave and load too

Predabot · 24 January 2009, 19:16

I'm using 1.5.2
