AMIMASTERGEAR keyboard lockup problem
hi , i have a problem running AMIMASTERGEAR this great emulator
![]() When i run it from workbench (double click on it) it doesn't do anything , if i boot(classic workbench full) with the option CLI PROMPT or without boot sequence the emu loads ok and i can start a game (wonderboy) but the keyboard locks up(however the reset combination works) and i can't quit or do anything (keyboard control don't work) , the (competition pro) joystick works but i can't jump in wonderboy (something is wrong) ![]() Last edited by _psy; 16 December 2010 at 15:31. |

I think you need CD32 joypad to jump in Wonderboy.

the main problem is that the keyboard don't work after i load and run the rom games :/ , i think it may have to do with some driver handling the keyboard? cause spectrum emulators : CBspeccy have these problems too , the Asp on the other hand works great .

Swap Amiga Joyports
If this option is disabled: Player One = Amiga Joy Port B. Player Two = Amiga Joy Port A. If this option is enabled: Player One = Amiga Joy Port A. Player Two = Amiga Joy Port B. Note: Player one always uses the keyboard I don't understand this, maybe there is no way to turn off keyboard as joystick. |

Strange, i have no problems with AmiMasterGear on my A1200. Also my 3-button Amiga pad works fine for games like Wonder Boy.
Edit: Maybe a Problem with Scalos (CWB Full). Try this unofficial update. I have no probs on CWB Lite = Real WB 3.0. http://www.amiga.org/forums/showpost...9&postcount=22 Last edited by Retro-Nerd; 16 December 2010 at 16:26. |

It must be a bug in emulator cause sometimes the ESC key (exit to menu) works 1 or 2 time if you press it at start and then the keyboard lock up only the reset combination works and the emulator freezes after some time playing with the joystick .

As i've said: never hat a single keyboard/freeze problem. What Joystick? You need at least a 2-button stick/pad.

@_psy - I have problem with AmiMasterGear and locking up the keyboard too. I did short look into sources ( version from aminet 0.81 ) and keyboard handling is silly. Its mean that is nothing wrong with your machine.

found workaround for this problem ,
i have the mouse on port 1 and (i modified) a joystick to work with 2 buttons in port 2. In Options selected JOY 2 ON and joysticks Port 1 standard joypad Port 2 CD32 joypad This way i can play any game alright with the joystick without touching the keyboard , the keyboard lock ups but i can exit to menu with mouse right click ![]() as for the complete lock up of the system after playing for 2 minutes , when i changed psu with picopsu no more lockup fixed ![]() needless to say that Wonder Boy in Monster Land has superb scrolling on sms ![]() Last edited by _psy; 29 June 2011 at 21:02. |
