Thank you for writing FS-UAE. I used to run games on WinUAE, but that was the most confusing emulator I have ever used, many years ago, and when I tried it again today I could not remember how to get anything to run.
Wikipedia led me to FS-UAE, and it is a great improvement. As Alan Cooper, inventor of Visual Basic said: “No matter how many buttons and controls your user interface has, the less interface there is, the better.”
I’m using a PS2 controller connected to USB through an adapter. The .conf file as demonstrated in your guide seems to work. I don’t understand the file, though.
When it says button_*, going up to button_12, are those buttons on the Amiga or on my Dual Shock?
How many buttons did the Amiga support? I have only ever seen joystick with one button.
What about the CDTV?
I was surprised to find that some games support the second button, like the Sega Master System. Elvira The Action Game is one. Apidya supposedly does too, the config menu has options for “game pad/joystick” and activate special with ‘auto’ ’2nd button’ or ‘joystick’, though I could only get it to work with the spacebar.
Here’s my question:
How do I map Amiga fire button rapid fire to a different button on my Sony Dualshock than the Amiga fire button without rapid fire?
How do I map “Emulator toggle F12 menu” to a button on my Sony Dualshock?
I was thinking of having it go like this:
Amiga Fire 1 -> Square
Amiga Fire 2 -> Cross
Amiga Fire 3 -> Circle
Amiga Fire 1 Rapid (for shooters) -> Triangle
Emulator toggle menu (super sexy effect by the way 
-> L1
Emulator warp -> R1
Thanks for reading!
