Amstrad CPC Emulator: joystick emulation renders keyboard partially unusable #1369

Closed jammet closed 8 years ago

Pressing s or x on the Keyboard also sends fire button actions. This should be disabled by default. The home computer encompasses a lot of different things, and many of them used through the keyboard, not a joystick.

which emulator ?

jammet commented 8 years ago

It is called lr-caprice32.

Development for that is here - https://github.com/libretro/libretro-cap32

I believe that very same emulator (I recognise the main menu) is used in Recalbox. When I tested that last, on a Raspberry Pi 2, this menu did not freeze then. Then again I know nothing much about the difference. I'm just reporting in the hope that it is something somebody finds interesting, and maybe can work with.

Did you choose AMSTRAD KEYBOARD in input controller setting ? see the documentation in the link above.

Not yet. I will try that too. But I also found that the other cpc emulator, called "capricepi" does not have the keyboard problem, and does render mode 2 in a resolution that works well. You cannot open the menu to open disk files at all, but it has working hotkeys. Might be a good compromise if I cannot fix the other emulator for this. :) Thank you.
