little feature - Esc on Gamepad

Post by thomasheiser »

hi,
in the "misc" menu i can configure that i can control the menu with joystick.
and the screenshot shows that i can put some funktions on joypad. like load rom, exit, reset....

i want to use the zsnes without mouse or keyboard. but i cannot jump back to menu, with only the joypad.
more keys to configure would be the solution.

I've made many requests for such a thing, but they've been ignored up until now so apparently this is not something that's very easy to do, or even desirable.

You can "cheat", however, and use JoyToKey (or another program that lets you configure keyboard keys to a joypad) and assign "esc" to a button. I use it, and it works fine. But then again, you could solve just about anything with an external program...

first:
where is the problem?
i only must optionaly configure a button who do the same thing than die Esc Key.
Kopie in Sourcecode the action after pressing Esc to the action pressing one Button on Joypad.


can you tell me some Programm for DOS, so that i can simulate Esc on Joypad?!

Done already in my own build. I will just put it into CVS for everyone else.

BTW I am making a HTPC so this was pissing me off too.
