Winuaeloader remapping space key

[Paul773car]

Hi all, I'm having a small issue in that I cant seem to get Winuae to recognise many of my key presses,

While playing RTYPE I cant release my orb as the space button does nothing. Im using Keyboard A and have remapped u/d/l/r and fire but cant remap space and space on my keyboard doesnt seem to work either? Am I missing something?

Thanks

Paul

There are some issues with the remap system in WinUAE Loader. Currently I use a remap system where I convert key presses to other key presses. This can cause problems especially if you accidently remap a key that is already mapped to something you can have keys pressing other keys and it can become a nightmare. So be careful how you remap.

What I have been looking at is re-writing the input system in WinUAE Loader to use WinUAE's internal key mapping system to remap controls instead. Although this will create alot of work for me I've already put some of the code in place to do this.

For now you can press F12 while in WinUAE and select Input. Change to use "Configuration #1" and remap the keys you want to use in there. Then make sure you turn off all the custom mappings in WinUAE Loader. Please let me know if this works! I will need people to help me figure this whole thing out as WinUAE's input system is pretty confusing IMHO.

I'd agree with you on the WINUAE point. I couldnt get the above work, Winaue always seems to restart itself without loading a config file even when its named "default.uae".Each time I tried the above it just lost the settings on restart. I have kinda fixed it by remapping my 6th second player button to space using joy2key and this worked. I dont think I have any games that actually used the 6 button anyway.

Typically though I have another issue, Is there any way to automatically load a preset from filters. Whatever I do it does not load on startup. My issue is that either I have a very small screen area or I have bits missing from the top or bottom. I managed to solve this using filters but everytime I start a game I have to go into F12 and load the preset which is a pain on an arcade as it means opening up to get at the keyboard.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

Are you using the latest version of WinUAE Loader? It was only posted yesterday. I changed it so you can keep settings when you use F12.

I was using an older version, just downloaded 1.7 but I cant really see any differences in the options??? How do I set it so that changes made with F12 save??

Thanks for your help by the way, I appreciate you taking the time to advise me

Just give it a try, settings should save now!

Hi Headkaze,

I have just tried it still does not save any of the preferences for filters or key maps. I think I'll just have to live with it.

Thanks for trying though

Can you try this.. once pressed F12 and changed settings, go to the Configurations option in WinUAE and press the "Save" button to save the settings. I think that should work??

Hi Headkaze I have been pressing save. Each time I re load all the settings have been erased

Thanks Paul I will have to look into this further when I get some spare time.
