Configuring arcade controller for zsnes

[kcoops]

Right, I have a 2 player arcade controller. I'm trying to configure it to work with zsnes. A, B, X, Y, L, R appear to be the buttons for the zsnes. But it gives no indication what these are, nor does it indicate which are the primary buttons used. There is also something called TURBO, which I don't understand. There is also Start and Select, which as far as I am concerned are the same thing.

I really need some guidance on key mapping here.

Any help much appreciated.

Well heres what the SNES controller looks like if it helps

A,B,X and Y are your main buttons - L and R were on top of the controller - not used as much - Start was used to start games and pause if I remember correctly and select was used primarily for menu selections (I think). I've never used the turbo options but I found this :

http://zsnes-docs.sourceforge.net/html/gui.htm

Turbo: - You can assign keys to these buttons in the same way you assign them to the standard SNES buttons. Holding down the key assigned to the turbo button is the same as if you were repeatedly pressing the normal button very, very fast. You can control the rate of key presses per second with the Turbo at 30Hz option

- Hope this helps ...

LOL. I used to play it ALL the time. But I've slept since then. I'm getting old and my memory ain't what it used to be
