Modifying keymapping for Dos Games

[gadial]

So far I'm very impressed with RetroX, but I stumbled on what seems to be a problem with the documentation, rather then the actual features of RetroX.

I'm trying to run Command Keen 1 on my Amazon Fire TV, using the Fire TV gamepad. Everything loads great and the game is playable, but it is not saveable since the save key is F5, which is not mapped by default to the gamepad (rather, the useless F1 used for the help screen is mapped, etc.)

It seems there currently is no way to change Dos games mapping via the GUI. This by itself is not a problem as long as there is a text mapping file which can be edited. However, I have been unable to find this file manually, using ES file explorer. So basically my questions are:

1) Is there a default location for keymapping config files? If so, Maybe the FAQ/in-app instructions should be expanded to describe it?
2) Maybe it will be helpful to add a feature to the app enabling it to open (via external editor?) the relevant directory/config file?
3) Is there one keymapping file for all DOS games? If so, maybe it's better to have a per-game keymapping file, since e.g. Keen 1 uses nonstandard keys (F5 is not always used).

Thanks again for making such a great app!

You have to create the text file:

Thank you. So if I understand correctly, the keymap file should be placed in the same directory as the game? This was not 100% clear. Also, I am missing (for DOS) a reference on the naming scheme for various keys; the page at

http://www.retrox.tv/dos-games/

seems to contain almost no details (even not the game list that is supposed to be there).

Ok, the list has been restored.

I also added this:
