OK, interesting. Could you mail me your stunt car racer version so that I can
test
it here (simon.kagstrom@gmail.com)?
Could you also try to just use the virtual keyboard on the blue startup screen
and
see if you can type N/Y?
The reason "Start" works is because it "types in" the C64 Load sequence, i.e.,
LOAD "*",8,1
RUN
So you'll get a N there at the end. Nice workaround by the way :-)

Ha ha, yeah - nice workaround :-)
I have attached the version of Stunt Car Racer, that gave me the problem.
(I also had similar problems with another game - I think it was Montezuma's
Revenge)

Oops. I forgot to test using the virtural keyboard in Basic. If I type N, the
emulator translates it to LOAD [ENTER] - so I think that isolates the problem
:-)

I've committed a fix for this now. The problem only occurs when using the
joystick
to select keys on the virtual keyboard (I had tested it using the arrow keys on
the physical keyboard).
The problem is that select also acts as fire, so you'll get double input (you
can
test by holding fire while pressing N on the physical keyboard).
The fix simply disallows joystick input for the C64 when the virtual keyboard
or
the menu is active (probably sane to do anyway). I've attached an (untested)
Wii
build if you want to test it.

I did not have the chance to test the newest RC until now - and I can confirm
the
problem is solved. Thanks!
- Unfortunately the first RC seemed to had trashed my SD-card. Formatting the
card
and finding all the homebrew programs, emulators and ROM files again wasn't the
funniest experience this week... Well, maybe I should learn the meaning of the
word "Backup".

Yes, this was apparently caused by the old libfat which was used to build the
first
version. The new devkitPPC / libfat combination seems to fix the corruption
issue.
