Comment on Custom Joystick Port by FrodeSolheim
Most gamepads/joysticks work by default, but only with directional and a single button! To use more buttons (select, pause) you need to map them via the mapping tool. And if you start using the mapping tool, you must map all buttons or it will not work.
Btw, XQuartz/X11 is no longer a dependency in the development versions. Also, the mapping dialog there is nicer as you can resume mapping when you open the mapping tool again instaed of having to start all over again

Many thanks for the quick answer.
It turned out I was using an old version of emulator and launcher. I’ve got the new one and everything seems simpler to configure, but still I didn’t understand what is the “mapping tool”. I can go into settings > Joystick and double click on the “PS3/PC adaptor”. I can then “confirm” all joypad keys but I cannot assign keyboard ones, it only accepts pad buttons. I’d like for example to add something like “P” (pause) to arrow keys, or maybe save states commands to triggers but I don’t know why. thanks.

I have the same problem I have a dual shock working via bluetooth…I can not pass the crack screen. the ps button select and start buttons of the dual shock is obviously working to open menus etc of the emulator but no way to get past the crack screen. an infinite loop

Hi, are you sure it is a joystick problem? Most cracktro screens are passed by pressing the left (or right) mouse button, or sometimes even keys such as enter or escape. So unless you have a 2nd joystick inserted into the mouse port, you should try the mouse buttons.

Hi! I am new here. I have read the “Getting started” topic. And have a trouble with a keyboard emulation. I am Windows 7 user. I tried to run some old Dizzy game via this emulator. But keyboard controls don’t work. I choose “Joystick” in the Launcher menu and pick “Cursor keys and Right Ctrl/Alt”. The game starts, I can enter the emulator menu and navigate it, but I can’t start the game itself and control Dizzy. Could you provide maybe correct configuration file for the windows keyboard? Or some other advice?

A pity.

Ok, I’m still fighting hopelessly with the controller mapping. it seems totally unstable.
testing here and there with configuration files I was able to assign “menu” to joypad select button and it worked. then I tried to assign the “P” (pause) keyboard key to joystick start_button and it didn’t work. So I tried to do the same to west_button (that, strangely, in the game never worked even if in mapping tool works) and, as result, also select button was’t recognized anymore. now menu is opened with “select+start”, even if the mappings are still there in the config file:
joystick_0_select_button = menu
joystick_0_west_button = keyboard_key_p
(also tried joystick_1 with no success).
In alternative I’d like an option to automatically pause the emulator every time I access the GUI menu, is it possible? Thanks.

Hi, where does it stop for you? If the game has a cracktro, you might need to use left or right mouse button (or enter or escape) to pass it. If you get to the title screen of the game, right control should work to start the game. If not, perhaps you have Joystick/Keyboard enabled for the wrong port? (The default setup should work fine though, no need to change anything).

Hello, thank you very much for this amazing emulator !
I can’t exit the program after launching a game on the emulator, how can I exit the Amiga screen (on mac) ?
Best regards,
Nicolas

Great Job! Thanks very much! At last a modern Amiga-Emulator for Unix. And it has Disksound… Amazing!

Actually, I am working on a “FS Game Center” with support for other platforms too
Comment on Custom Joystick Port by FrodeSolheim
Hi, the joystick config tool is just that – it is used to “describe” the gamepad/joystick, so FS-UAE can intelligently assign actions. For example, it will use different internal assignments depending on whether you start an Amiga game or an CD32 game. It is not indented as a tool to map any key/button to any action (of course, such a tool would be useful too, but it’s different to what the joystick config tool is trying to achieve).
Comment on Custom Joystick Port by FrodeSolheim
Hi, if you want to map the “west button” for the first connected gamepad to the Amiga keybord key P, the correct option is:
joystick_0_west_button = action_key_p
there isn’t an “action” for opening the menu, so you cannot use FS-UAE options xxxx = menu.
(Btw, west_button is by default used as secondary fire for the Amiga – only a few games support 2nd fire button).

I have added automatic pause as a feature request: http://fs-uae.net/trac/ticket/13

Hi, see here: http://fs-uae.net/keyboard-shortcuts (it is a bit awkward on OS X right now due to default Mac keyboard behaviour and OS X shortcuts).

Awesome!!!!!!

oh, that’s more clear now.
so, let’s simplify it: is it possible to assign somehow the keyboard “P” press to the joypad? or joypad can only “play” joypad buttons?
Thanks.
