Is it possible to make whdload use keyboard and not joystick?
Is it possible to map the joystick buttons to the keyboard arrows + some keys???
It should not be that hard to the whdload magician, that would be a great feature, many times the keyboard is better than joysticks/pads... |

I fear that the problem could be individual - each game/slave had to be programmed for that "feature"
I remember asking JOTD for the 2nd-button feature in Agony, for spell display, and he had to program that routine in every single level... |

why? there must be a way to have a tooltype to "emulate" a joystick in keys... a global tooltype coded in whdload itself, not the slaves... the slaves won't know what hit them , lol
 but let's see what the wizards say on this, maybe it is way to difficult, easy said but hard done... |

You can't "virtualize" keyboard or joystick without manual patching.

just map the joypad functions a game expects to be keyboard actions... |

Listen to the experts like Toni - they know more than you do! It cannot be done. Lots of games that don't use the keyboard simply disable it. Most games that read the joystick are bit-testing pins on a custom hardware register. You cannot do it globally for all games. End of story!
