WinUAELoader problem

[cda]

i am using Headkaze's loader to run winuae and must say that if it wasnt for this program i think alot of people would have given up on ever getting winuae running, myself included

i am having a slight problem with configuring the controls

i have got all my games for whd running from the loader, reconfigured the controls on the x-arcade left tab and ticked the enable box (set for port 1)but when i start a game the down arrow (i have mapped for down) wont work, instead it is using numpad 5. Not sure if i have changed a setting or something but was hoping someone could help.

Is it possible to have my settings as the default options for the x-arcade tabs instead of mapping the inputs.

Thanks in advance for any advice or help you may be able to give

regards

cda

Can you post your WinUAELoader.ini file.

Be careful not to double map input. If you map a key to a key that is already mapped to something it may cause this problem. The defaults have been carefully selected not to conflict with each other.

I had F1 mapped to none in my input settings in the ini i posted

remapped f1 within loader to (a) hoping it might change

but didnt change the controller using numpad 5

now reads

XArcadeLeft=65,38,40,37,39,162,98,32,160,90,88,49,50,164

You have a few double mappings for X-Arcade A. Your mapping keys as follows

F1		D1		->	None
Joy Up		NumPad8		->	Up
Joy Down	NumPad2		->	Down
Joy Left	NumPad4		->	Left
Joy Right	NumPad6		->	Right
Button 1	LControlKey	->	LControlKey
Button 2	LMenu		->	NumPad2
Button 3	Space		->	Space
Space Bar	LShiftKey	->	LShiftKey
3		Z		->	Z
4		X		->	X
1		C		->	D1
2		D5		->	D2
Left Alt	D3		->	LMenu

Pressing D3 will map to LMenu which then maps to NumPad2. Pressing LMenu will map to NumPad2 which then maps to Down. Both are examples of double mapping a key.

Still I'm not sure why the down arrow is using NumPad 5. Are you using the latest version of WinUAE Loader (1.41)?

I would try deleting your WinUAELoader.ini and set your ROM paths again and leave the defaults. Test the defaults first before you try remapping.

BTW I wouldn't put the mouse into Port 0. WinUAE Loader automatically plugs in the mouse in Port 0 for games that use the mouse. So your better off having joysticks in Port 0 and Port 1 for two player games and let the wrapper plug in the mouse if the game needs it.

Problem Solved

I am now using keyboard A and B setting and am having no problem with my controls even after remapping

thankyou very much for your help Headkaze, it is very much appreciated
