Giving Brataccas a fair chance

A plea for Help - Calling all retrofans!

I would like to play Brataccas, but am struggling with using the mouse and need to use the keyboard. According to the manual, this can be achieved if we press the Help key to open the Main Option screen and then F6 to choose the control device from the mouse to keyboard.

From the manual:
Quote:
On each machine, one key enables you to load the options menu at any time,
on the Amiga it is the Help Key. Within this document whenever we refer
to the option key, it is this key on your system.

By pressing the option key on the keyboard, the Main Options screen will
load within several seconds, and you will be able to select the main
options described below.
As far as I know, the Help key has been remapped to Page-Down, but in my keyboard the Page-Down is only available using the Num 3 if I hold down FN.

I've used the Test under Input in the GUI and when I press FN + Num 3 it still only registers as Num 3. Nothing I press equates to the Help key.

I'd like to remap the Help key to something else, but the Remap key is greyed out. What is my best course of action?

Unless I can get to use the keyboard controls, the game is unplayable.
I'm using WinUAE 4.10.0 (2022.12.18) 64-bit

Thanks for any help!

In the 'Input' panel change 'Game Ports Panel' in the upper left to one of the configuration entries. Then you should be able to remap keys.

Thanks a lot! That did the trick, and Brataccas is finally playable. Managed to go through the door in the 2nd room for the first time
