Does the QuitKey option support multiple buttons?
Hi guys,
I've discovered that some WHDLoad games (e.g. Battle Squadron V1.6) allow you to quit the game by pressing FORWARD+REVERSE+PLAY on the CD32 joypad. I'm wondering if it is technically possible to set the QuitKey option to use this same three button combination in the WHDLoad global configuration (WHDLoad.prefs) and if so, how? Thanks in advance! |

This is currently not possible. Only single keys can be setup for QuitKey.
See http://whdload.de/docs/en/rawkey.html |

Thanks for your reply, Wepl.
Hopefully this is something that can be implemented into WHDLoad in a future version. |

Yeah quitting WHDLoad via a global CD32 joypad combination would be amazing for CD32 users.
CD32Load resets on a combination, this would also work I guess, but quitting would be cleaner. |

FORWARD + RELEASE + PLAY sounds good for a global quit key too.
Even games that use the shoulder buttons as shift keys (wing commander, liberation, subwar 2050, anything else?) don't involve the play button in their combinations, AFAIK. This would be a great feature! |

I have added a new quitkey for this combination. Use $11a for joypad in port #1. See also http://whdload.de/docs/en/rawkey.html and note that using joypad buttons as quitkey in WHDLoad will make it impossible for the installed game to check the joypad buttons.

Bert you're halfway through remapping joypad buttons to keys like CD32load or JST do.

I see demand to control the splash window options via stick/pad but don't have an idea how to do this via intuition. |

I tried that and generally it works great with my pad and quitkey=$11a. But it causes issues with some games. The actual slave from Midnight Resistance crashes always after the title screen. And in Lionheart the background graphics flickers like hell. Setting a normal keyboard quitkey works pefectly fine with both games. No poblem at all. So, my question: Is this problem fixable via slave update (or a WHDLoad update)? Or is this some kind of interrupt problem that happens if you decide to use the joypad combo quitkey (with $11a)? I would assume other games could cause similar problems. edit: Or does it happen for both games because they have full CD32 controller support via slave? All CD32 button mappings are fine though, they work as intended with a $11a quitkey. Last edited by Retro-Nerd; 19 January 2023 at 23:20. |

It very probably happens because these installs/games ask the joypad itself.
But it's strange that Midnight does crash. This should not happen. You could open a bugreport. |

The CD32 pad reading code used on Mid Res might not be as good as some of the updated code doing the rounds these days - it might be worth updating it.
I had a CD32 adaptor which refused to work on Cybernoid, possibly due to similar reasons, and I was thinking of revisiting these to see if the new CD32read code fixed them. |
