NBA Jam TE - In-Game Pausing Doesn’t Seem To Exist #426

Closed martysept24 closed 12 months ago

martysept24 commented 12 months ago

Hi,

There seems to be an inaccuracy with the automated keymapping for NBA Jam TE. It says you can pause by clicking Ctrl-P on the Dosbox Pure keyboard or whatever button the key combination is mapped to on your controller. But this has not worked for me. Is there a patch I need to download for Jam TE that includes the option to pause in-game? The lack of this ability in the Dos version of Jam TE has always puzzled/annoyed me (despite otherwise being a very good port).

It's not easy to do mappings for 4000 games, the keyb2joypad project did a fantastic job nailing most of the games. There can be mistakes though, so maybe this is one of them? If you say Ctrl-P does absolutely nothing and there really is absolutely no way to pause the game (not even pressing ESC?) then I guess I can just remove that binding. I looked up the manual for the DOS version and it really does not mention a pause key, so maybe there just is none. You can use the pause function of your emulator frontend (i.e. RetroArch) to pause any emulated game.
