2nd Fire Button
Is there a way to emulate a second fire button (or possibly more) in WinUAE using keyboard emulation? I ask this because I can't get Darkseed CD32 working using keyboard emulation as I only seem to have the one fire button.
Cheers in advance....... P.S. I will eventually buy myself a new joypad |

WinUAE emulates two Amiga fire buttons when you use a joystick/pad, however you'll probably need a tool from aminet called FakePad to emulate all the CD32 buttons properly.
Alternatively, use Project 32 by WindowsKiller or wait for Toni's CD32 beta version of WinUAE to be released. |

How about if you use keyboard? Is there any hope there?

Another suggestion could be to request or just hope that the WHDLoad team fix the game at some point: most of the time they put some code in the slaves for CD³² games that allows them to make the function keys at the top emulate the extra buttons.
IMO FakePad isn't very reliable in some conditions - I remember I had trouble with it co-operating with D-Generation (when run from hard-disk). |

Although I haven't tried it personally, I think FakePad maps the extra keys to the keyboard anyway, you should try it, whats the worst that could happen |

Take Flashback as an example: Flashback DOES support 2 buttons, but I cannot use the second button of my joystick in WinUAE when I change to 2 button mode in the game. Could you please try it yourself and report your results? (or anyone else, that is) Last edited by andreas; 22 January 2002 at 19:22. |

Works fine for me Andreas, with both my joythings
Gravis Exterminator and some cheap, nasty USB 8 button pad that came with my old computer. Using the latest WinUAE of course |

Bloody 'el Ian, I stand corrected.
It actually worked, even with Flashback. This must really be a RECENT fix. I couldn't get it to work in 0.8.14 versions, nor did I succeed in 0.8.16 versions. If I do need a 2-button joystick (or can make life easier by utilizing 2 buttons) I won't use 0.8.8 anymore. Great! |
