I will test those games.
I use keymap.conf for a lot of games, but for my account they are downloaded automatically. I'll try adding them manually.

Hi Franco, That would be great. I am keen to upload a video on Amiga Emulation and would like to include this feature.

I have tried using another android device and my friend is having the same issue so its not me.

I am curious how your keymap.conf files are downloaded automatically ?

RetroX started as a solution for me, so I have games online and they are all presetted. I have a lot of Amiga, Atari, MSDOS and other computers games, and they are always available for me to start from the network. Those games include all the presets that I need.

Sadly, I cannot offer that feature to the users, they have to get the games and setup themselves.

The most that I can do is to recognize some games given the name, in that case the setup will be downloaded automatically. I think that if you rename your Lotus 2 folder to simply lotus2 it will download the preset.

Renaming the folder to a supported game does indeed change the key mappings, For Lotus this works. I put pinball illuions inside a pinball dreams folder and the key mappings where different and nearly worked, however pinball dreams and illusions keys to launch the ball are different....so close. back to the keymap.conf file. I really think that this feature does not work. but if it did then it would be awesome :D

No Problem, Glad we got to the bottom of it.

Incidentally you cannot map buttons to the d-pad. Every other button you can. Suppose this makes sense has you need the d-pad as joystick control.
