Foreign keyboard problem
To set up a path to save the game I have to write a slash ( / ) how can I do it with a spanish MacBook keyboard? Normally I just push shift+7 but when I use ZSNES all I got is a ( & ) symbol man, this is frustrating.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Foreign keyboard problem
Open up your zsnes config file (not sure what this is on the mac) and edit the paths from there.

Re: Foreign keyboard problem
ZSNES goes by raw keycodes, not the character represented. Another piece of it's MS-DOS history.
It assumes a US QWERTY layout. Which is... unfortunate... for many people.
You want the key immediately to the left of the right shift key. If my quick internet search is correct, it has _ and - on it.

Nah, that one was the netplay chat typing routine, which enforced qwerty for everyone. Got killed in the process, hopefully.Gil_Hamilton wrote:ZSNES goes by raw keycodes, not the character represented. Another piece of it's MS-DOS history.
The one used by the current input boxes is a bit different. Basically, zsnes interprets the base keys properly, but from there it relies on QWERTY.
For instance, pressing 'Z' on any keyboard layout will work fine (it won't spit 'W' on AZERTY or 'Y' on QWERTZ) because such a key exists in QWERTY.
QWERTY has a key with '-/_' [without/with shift]. AZERTY has a key with '-/6'. If you press it, it will show '-', but if you caps it, it will spit '_' instead of '6' because that's what the capsed QWERTY key does.
AZERTY has a key with '&/1'. Since QWERTY has no key for & without caps, that key doesn't do shit.
So basically, any key that has a shiftless symbol not present on a shiftless QWERTY keyb is ignored. Keys with a recognised shiftless symbol get their QWERTY-caps symbol when shifted.
tl;dr: Edit the file manually.

I don't know which text editor you have, but use it on your config file.

Oh yeah, macbook, i forgot. I think it's just called "textedit" or something. If not, I know it comes with Vi.

Yeah it's called textedit. You might also have pages on your Mac, if you're lucky(It's way better than textedit).paulguy wrote:Oh yeah, macbook, i forgot. I think it's just called "textedit" or something. If not, I know it comes with Vi.
