How to use real pinball buttons with A1200
Hi all!
I want to build an arcade cabinet out of my real A1200. Every works fine with the joysticks, screen and sound. But the real cool thing would be REAL pinball buttons on the side of the cabinet. Does anybody know how to map the SHIFT keys for Pinball Dreams/Fantasies to a real pinball button? Please help.... Pieter |

i guess the only way is too solder wires directly to the keyboard membrane?

CD32 had buttons for Amiga pinball games. Maybe use them? The project sound very cool by the way
 Hope you do some video when it is finished.

Use CD32 version of the game, and use it's joystick to rewire the buttons, or get a Playstation to CD32 converter, and rewire the Playstation's joystick to pinball flippers.

If counting pin 1 as the leftmost pin, for both shift keys the common is pin 30 on the mainboard connector; Left Shift is pin 12 and Right Shift is pin 6. Much easier to make the connection at the keyboard connector on the bottom of the PCB than to try and attach anything to the membrane.

I am looking into WHDLoad to map joystick left/right up/down and fire into shift. down, space and enter key.
For example: PinballDreams Loader has a file PinballDreamsHD.s which has the following text: lea event_queue_pointer(pc),a0 move.l #JPB_BTN_BLU,d2 move.b #$61,d3 ; right shift bsr test_button move.l #JPB_BTN_LEFT,d2 move.b #$60,d3 ; left shift bsr test_button move.l #JPB_BTN_DOWN,d2 move.b #$4D,d3 ; pull spring bsr test_button ; move.l #JPB_BTN_LEFT,d2 ; move.b #$15,d3 ; Y ; bsr test_button ; move.l #JPB_BTN_RIGHT,d2 ; move.b #$36,d3 ; N ; bsr test_button move.l #JPB_BTN_UP,d2 move.b #$40,d3 ; space: nudge up bsr test_button move.l #JPB_BTN_PLAY,d2 move.b #$19,d3 ; p: pause bsr test_button move.l #JPB_BTN_REVERSE,d2 move.b #$64,d3 ; left alt bsr test_button move.l #JPB_BTN_FORWARD,d2 move.b #$65,d3 ; right alt bsr test_button move.l #JPB_BTN_RED,d2 move.b #$43,d3 ; adds a player bsr test_button move.l #JPB_BTN_GRN,d2 move.b #$45,d3 ; ESC bsr test_button move.l #JPB_BTN_YEL,d2 move.b #$15,d3 ; Y bsr test_button Is it possible to map to a "normal" joystick instead of a CD32 joypad? |
