Up+Down combinations triggered by mistake : could it be optional [Atari/Minimig]

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi !

Would it be possible to set the Up+Down combination, used to raise the Minimig 
/ Atari cores OSDs, to be optional ?

Indeed : some people use an additional button to create a very useful "jump" 
function (by connecting the "up" direction to both the stick and a button).

But then, it's very easy to trigger the Up+Down combination all the time while 
playing which is pretty annoying : would it be possible to set it as an option 
? 

Best regards

Actually i never used that feature myself. It was in the core to allow for full 
joystick control of the OSD. So i assume it's a very useful feature for many 
people.

Can you give an example for a game actually using this?

This is supposed to be fixed in r237

Well, there is no specific game using it ; people who build a custom controller 
(arcade cabinet for instance) may be tempted to add a button which acts like 
the "up" direction ; it makes many games much easier to play.

On a real Amiga this was not an issue but it was made impossible to use with 
the Minimig core becore one would trigger the OSD frequently by mistake.

Thanks for fixing it :)
