WinUAE N00b - plz help!
OK, I haven't messed with WinUAE much - I prefer to use my real Amigas.
So, as a total utter n00ba I was pretty happy with my config and it seems really stable, nice resolution with scanlines, etc. My problem comes when I try to configure the 'joystick'. I really hate the 3 default keyboard layouts (which seem to favour left-handed players for some reason) and would like to define my own keys. But I cannot for the life of me work out how to do it or indeed if this is possible. If some kind person could explain step by step how to do this I would be eternally grateful. I would like to use QAOPM for Up, Down, Left, Right, Fire. (yes I was a ZX Spectrum freak back in the 80s) |

Thanks, but that didn't work.
Here's what I have on the input configs: Maybe the option on the second screen (game & io ports) is overwriting what I set on the first screen? Although I tried changing this to other options and it still had no effect! Damn, I don't know - why do they make the simplest things so fxxxing complicated to do? Every other emulator in the world lets you redefine your keys in a simple manner!!! Anyone got any ideas where I am going wrong? |

The Amiga is weird in the fact that Joy1 is not usually the joystick port.
The joystick was usually port2 so use Joy2. |

It is more complicated system, so no wonder emulation is a bit complicated as well.
Mouse used mostly Port 1 and games Port 2, but not always (it depends on developer) so that's why we had those mouse/joystick switchers. |

I'd like to thank OP for asking a question I was too embarrassed to ask.
I always thought EVERYONE knows that and i'd feel stoopid. In the meantime I,ve been using the excellent Xpadder. |
