Yet another one for me to test out later on

Hungry Horace · 08 April 2008, 10:19

i gave it a very quick go last night on my standard e-uae setup, and encountered no problems.... hardly enough to justify proper testing however. Looking good though Girv.

*cough* dual button support mapped to 'up' */cough*

Alien 3 install has readjoypad.s source included

perhaps you can even improve on it? i am a little unsure about the clean-ness with which the megadrive B (i think) button is checked and set... although perhaps it doesnt matter, i would have thought this might cause problems when pressing 2 joypad buttons. (although the odds of checking red/fire etc with that routine are slim - and i think ther would only be a problem with fire+MD 'B')

girv · 08 April 2008, 15:48

What joypad controls do y'all want ?

And what's a good joypad for use on WinUAE ? Preferably one that's cheap and very like the original CD32 one

Hungry Horace · 08 April 2008, 15:53

i use a PS1/2 USB adaptor... maps up perfectly to the cd32 layout, with two 'bonus' shoulder buttons

what keyboard buttons does the game use Girv? play=pause is always a good start

girv · 08 April 2008, 16:38

I'll check out the PS adaptor thingy, cheers. I have a Competition Pro joypad for the Amiga, but it's never been out of its box until today

Gravity Force uses the following keys:

LALT / LAMIGA - rotate
RSHIFT - thrust
RETURN - fire
ESC - quit
F10 - pause (alpha1 slave will quit to workbench on F10, oops!)

+ joystick controls, of course.

Hungry Horace · 08 April 2008, 16:55

you can pick em up for about £8 as i recall... maybe even cheaper.

given those controls, i can only think of suggesting 2nd button for fire and normal for thrust (or is that vice-versa? cant remember - i know it would be like that in GF2/GP!) maybe play to pause with yellow to quit only when paused? (as a sort of 'safety net')

that's if you even want to bother with 'full' cd32 controls, and not just 2nd button support.

i really should do some work.....

Thanks for the Alpha will try it now.

Is this working for CD32 pads only? My TecnoPlus pad (3-buttons) button 2 doesn't work as fire.

girv · 08 April 2008, 18:31

Button 2 is the second button on my joystick. I havent tested it with joypads yet.

Nice work Girv, whdload threads are the only real threads I read on EAB and there are some very active ones recently

bornemannen · 09 April 2008, 14:00

Great work! Works like a charm on my WinUAE setup as well.

Graham Humphrey · 09 April 2008, 17:24

Can you download joytest_CP.lha from Aminet and see which buttons on your joypad trigger the second fire button event ?
