Joystick and Other Controls

To select a sub-menu, you may press 1-2 or press < or > to move left and right.

Some pages will be different, depending on which machine you are emulating.

 

 Joystick controls are mapped to the cursor keys, with TAB as fire. (This also affects the output of "real" joystick 1. "Real" joystick 2 is always Sinclair 1).

It is possible to change which keys are mapped to the joystick in the INI file.

 

Move to a joystick with the cursor keys and press Return to select it. If you press Escape (or leave via page 2, it will not selected).

Pressing left or right will switch "Caps" mode on or off. If it is off, and Cursor keys are selected, then 5, 6, 7, 8, and 0 will be output instead of their Caps-shifted versions.

The Kempston joystick is usually on all the time (IN 31 will return 0 for the bottom 5 bits, so it will always be detected). But you may not want that, so you can choose Kempston and use left or right to switch it Off completely, then move to the joystick that you really want.

F4_1 menu

 

Mouse emulation is currently rather bad and it needs quite an overhaul... But you can choose from Kempston, Kempston 2, AMX, AY, Amiga, Atari.

The only light pen is the Doodler and (for now) you should not resize the window!

There aren't actually any light guns yet.

F4_2 menu

 

This is what you'll have to use in C64 mode...

F4_1 menu (C64)

Yes, it's brown

I will do something about this, at some point...
