Cannot emulator joystick on keyboard with E-UAE or PUAE

goldenegg · 02 February 2011, 13:30

I've been using PUAE on my Macbook Pro for a while, but have always been using a USB gamepad. Today, I tried using the keyboard to play some games. Unfortunately, nothing I tried worth. The keys I'd assign would always be completely unresponsive.

I use Hi-Toro to configure PUAE and have tried both the default mappings and custom mappings. Just to test, I also tried E-UAE and it had the same behaviour. The 'RAW Mappings' option in Hi-Toro doesn't seem to help either.

I must be doing something stupid. Anyone have an idea what I could be doing wrong?

I was having exactly the same problem until I tried chiark's barebones config. Check out the details here.

Also make sure overdrive isn't enabled for your joystick if you're using USB Overdrive.

I just tried the bare bones config and still have the same problem in PUAE. E-UAS works fine, except the screen isn't centered. The mouse always works fine in games, but keyboard input for the joystick doesn't respond at all.

I don't have USB Overdrive installed.

EDIT:

This is a PUEA 2.3.1 problem. Moving discussion to the 2.3.1 thread.
