1 year ago Yesterday I attached the MISTer to my modified Arcade 1 Up 🆙 n order to play some games. I had to attach a mini bluetooth keyboard in order to start a game. It would be very convinient, espacially for arcade owners if the standard functions Select, Option and Start could be mapped to the buttons. I mean, why not? Best wishes, great project … retox

This was originally requested in https://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?p=380358 and rejected by @sorgelig stating Atari 800 is a computer, hence keyboard is a prerequisite.
Hence MiSTer now provides great abstraction layer for configuring controllers and re-mapping the buttons, I wanted to ask for this feature again. Atari 800 provides wast library of great classic games that needs Option+Reset to be loaded from disk image, on top of that most of the games are configured using Option, Select function buttons and often started by Start.
Exposing possibility to map these buttons to physical controller option, start buttons and triggers would not require keyboard to be present for Atari gaming. Similar options were provided for other platforms, e.g. for mouse operation using controller.
Thank you again for your consideration and awesome project!
