Reaperman Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) With all the a8 developments, how possible is it to map keypresses to, for example, a Star Raiders controller in port 2? A good number of a8 games that require a keyboard use only a few keys on it, and if I wanted to play one of those games from a big comfy chair some distance from my computer, it'd be handy. I suppose either each game would have to be hacked, or perhaps something changed in the OS. I haven't heard of anybody trying it, but I may just not hang around this forum enough.

+David_P Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 You'd either have to (a) hack each game or (b) hack the OS. Problem: some games refuse to work with a hacked OS. Problem: some games replace or ignore the OS routines. What may be the path of least resistance is to get an AKI interface (http://www.realdos.net) and use a PS/2 or AT keyboard, with extension. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
