Joysticks with emulators

Post by Symoon »

Has anyone ever tried this with Euphoric or Oricutron ?

The historic file of Euphoric says it supports PC joysticks from v0.99l, so I'm rather confident...

Interesting find!

I never tried using joysticks in emulators, mostly because most games are less playable with joysticks than without (like losing sound or stuff like that).

I saw it, and as i'm an amiga/atari fan, I'm waiting for one.
I'll test it with oricutron (win7 pc) ... asap

Ok, doing a bit of forum necromancy :)

If anyone has managed to get Euphoric or Oricutron to work with USB joysticks, please tell!

As far as I can see, in Oricutron.cfg we have that:

Code: Select all

; Joystick interface for Atmos/Oric-1 mode. Telestrat has its own built-in standard.
; Options are 'none', 'altai', 'pase' or 'ijk'
joyinterface = none

; How to emulate joysticks attached to the above interface
; Options are 'none', 'kbjoy1', 'kbjoy2', 'sdljoyN' (where n is 0 to 9)
joystick_a = kbjoy1
joystick_b = none

; How to emulate joysticks attached to the telestrat
; Options are 'none', 'kbjoy1', 'kbjoy2', 'sdljoyN', 'mouse'
telejoy_a = kbjoy1
telejoy_b = none

; Keys to emulate joystick, set 1
; NOTE: "fire2" is only available on telestrat
kbjoy1_up = 'KP8'
kbjoy1_down = 'KP2'
kbjoy1_left = 'KP4'
kbjoy1_right = 'KP6'
kbjoy1_fire1 = 'KP_ENTER'
kbjoy2_fire2 = 'KP_PLUS'

; Keys to emulate joystick, set 2
kbjoy2_up = 'W'
kbjoy2_down = 'S'
kbjoy2_left = 'A'
kbjoy2_right = 'D'
kbjoy2_fire1 = 'SPACE'
kbjoy2_fire2 = 'N'
and in Euphoric.INI we have

Code: Select all

Joystick=PASE
My question is: I do have one of these Competition Pro USB joysticks, how can I use it with either emulator, because I've not found any place where to specify which joystick to use (I've also a Xbox controller connected - for work).

Haha, not many people can say that ;-) an X-box controller for work.
But to answer the question: I see the same in the cfg files. So no clue indeed how to use joysticks in emulators other than keyboard emulation.

Ok, I was actually blind, the answer (for Oricutron) was in the comment:

; Options are 'none', 'kbjoy1', 'kbjoy2', 'sdljoyN' (where n is 0 to 9)

So, basically 'sdljoy0' if you only have one joystick.

*duh*
