Maybe the Keyboard ribbon is loose?
Workbench 1.3? Came with a keynoard testing program? |

The lid has been lifted no end of times, as I fiddled with the CF connector to get it working (Turned out he'd shipped it without a jumper it needed..),
So i'll try re-seating it, if not, then a good clean. Jotd, the Function key problem is hardware, CD32load is fine, I know, as I just tested my original floppies and had the same problem. No luck with Pinball Fantasies, probably needs too much memory. Would it work better with a file version, rather than disks... does CD32 load support that? As for saving, is that something WHDLoad will do on the A600? Is it just CD32load that won't (Guessing as CD32 NVRAM is tiny?) Still, success! and thank you both for all the advice, and your hard work on this Jotd. I did warn her she would still need disks for some things. |

Yes, if it came with a file version it would definitely work. Too bad the only DOS version is AGA... 1MB game + 970Kb preload leaves not enough room for resident CD32load stuff & slave. A lot of good games are like that, unfortunately. Quote:
Now about the keyboard: If you have a joypad, you can use CD32load to emulate the keyboard, for instance function keys Just remap unused buttons (green, yellow, ...) to function keys for games you want for instance with JOY1GREEN=0x50, if you press green it sends "F1" keypress, even without a keyboard (like on CD32 console!) A lot of whdload slaves have been directly upgraded around 2020 to completely get rid of the keyboard. Quote the games you want to run without keyboard and I'll be able to help you. I had made that list a few years ago: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...4LI/edit#gid=0. Check it out, you'll see that more than 650 games are playable with CD32load. And that's only the ones that I tested, I didn't test all the crappy ones. Last edited by jotd; 03 January 2024 at 00:45. |

I don't know about Pinball Fantasies have to let Jotd answer that.
But you can have a look at these https://ftp2.grandis.nu/turransearch...0&httplinks=on Iirc the Table Selection Crack thing works but you loose the nice Menu. Supposedly there is an Official HD install for Pinball Fantasies but very rare. https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=1599056 |

Even more good advice from the pair of you, thank you. I'll have a look tomorrow, off to bed now. Looks like I'll have to buy a CD 32 pad to take advantage of all the hard work -currently using Megadrive pads.

You can map the second & third button of any 3-button joystick that work with the Amiga too. Not required to have a CD32 pad, but for your case, if the keyboard is beyond repair, buying a KTRLCD32 or Honeybee or other is cheap and will solve most issues.
Earok even implemented a virtual keyboard in CD32load. It's not very easy to use (doc is in the cd32load archive), but it does the job. |
