Key presses not working in games
Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2018 1:51 am
Hello folks,
I recently resurrected a twin 3.5" floppy drive stack and set it to work on various machines, the Oric being one of them with my Cumana interface. Using a similar setup to the last time I attempted this with 5.25" disks I've written images for the usual suspects (Defence Force, Xenon etc) and I'm stumped as to why the control keys don't work in every game I try. With Xenon I can still hear keypress beeps like it's still in DOS mode. Since most of the TOSEC images are Slave disks I'm booting SEDORIC3 then running games from drive B after a "B-" to set the default drive, maybe this isn't the way to do it.
Thinking it maybe an Oric/Atmos thing I'm currently using a 48K Oric-1 with the same results.
There must be a config issue I'm missing. I've not tried joysticks yet but I'd like to fix the key press thing first.
Cheers!
