REQUEST : more button-bindings Amiga Emulation

Postby tronixx2017 » Wed Aug 30, 2017 10:04 am

Hi.. could you please add different bindings for the controller buttons? In lots of games, jumping and moving at the same time with the dpad is a pain.. an extra 2nd binding for UP would be great.. also one button for auto-fire would be nice.. for example this way : Button A = Fire, Button X = Up, Button B = Autofire .. this would make the handling awesome i think.. ;)

You can't autofire, but you can map any Amiga key to any Gamepad button.

I'm considering writing a tool that helps people build these keymap files.

Hold on!

There are plans to make this work via the GUI. Check http://retrox.tv/roadmap

THAT would be great! Because i tried to setup a few keymap.conf files for some games, named them as described in the docs but they will not be recognized from Retrox.. i placed them in the same folder as the adf files but nothing happens.. so an inbuild option to setup each game would make it very comfortable.. what do you think, when this feature will be released?

Put Amiga games in a seperate folder with the keymap.conf for that game.

i.e

Folder called Toca
inside the toca.adf
and keymap.conf

hope that helps.
