Strange keyboard button names in key assignment (global) #104

Closed thesourcehim closed 5 years ago

thesourcehim commented 5 years ago

I see strange key names in global key assignment section, like "keyboard 99". They are actually correspond to real keys, but when I reassign them to exactly same keys, the names become proper (like "F1"). Linux version. mednaffe_keys

Are you using a version of mednafen emulator less than 1.21.0? Or have you copied and pasted something from an old mednafen.cfg file?

Those keyboard mappings that snapshot is showing is how mednafen emulator handled them before 1.21.0.

Nah, most likely you updated mednafen from an old version. Quote from changelog (1.21.0):

Configuration file is now named "mednafen.cfg" again, instead of "mednafen-09x.cfg";

If "mednafen.cfg" doesn't exist or is for an old version (earlier than 0.9.0) of Mednafen, the settings will be loaded from "mednafen-09x.cfg" on startup, but still saved to "mednafen.cfg" on exit.

Old input mappings will be translated internally, except for keyboard mappings, due to incompatibilities between how SDL 1.2 and 2 handle keyboards.
