load up Winuae. Goto Game/IO ports.

Bottom right it will give you options. Leave mouse in Port 0, and select whatever keyboard setup you want in Port 1.

Mine is set to cursor keys and ctrl and alt as fire.

Unless you have a joystick setup that is.

Not true either. Even zips inside zips work

Interesting

I just gave it a try a with the following:

alienbreed.zip: contains 2 x .adf's inside
alinebreed_zip.zip: contains 2 x .zip's inside

I couldn't get the game to even boot

This is what the Floppy drives section looked like:

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious or doing something silly... but how do you tell WinUAE which file to use from inside the .zip?

Belgarath · 19 May 2007, 13:30

Use the dropdown box and make sure it's pointing to disk 1.

Ah, I see

As mentioned above I never use .zip files... Thank you very much for the information though Belgo

Belgarath · 19 May 2007, 13:35

Everyone should use zip files or at least have them compressed, using uncompressed adf's is even worse than using CGI:IRC!
