Altirra/Wine/Linux - controls?


Recommended Posts

In an attempt to answer my own question about how Rally Speedway does its scrolling, I thought

to run it under Altirra, and sniff around the display list.

 

So I downloaded Altirra 2.81

I'm running it under Wine-1.6.2 Under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, on a modern-ish laptop.

 

It all seems to be working.

 

But no controls work; having read the Altirra help file, F2 should be Start,

but it doesn't do anything.

And the cursor keys don't control the Rally Speedway config menu.

 

Can anyone help?

 

(is there a simple I/O unit test?)

I do remember when I first started Altirra I was offered a "generate initial config" screen.

 

I was so happy what Wine and Altirra had installed that I then

went to find a Rally Speedway download.

 

When I started Altira again, the config menu didn't show,

and I can't find it.

 

I suspect I have a completely empty config.

I've added "Input->Port 1->Arrow Keys->Joy Stick"

 

and can now move the cursor in the options menu of Rally Speedway.

 

Googling told me that (left) ctrl key is the fire button, so I can select options.

 

I still can't start the game with F2.

I just found "first time setup" under tools. I'll see what that does :-)

Baby steps - you don't start Rally Speedway with the Start Key

(which may or may not be F2)

 

You start with the "fire" button, with the top menu item!

 

Game now running, F8 to break in, ".dlhistory"

showing me ... "something" I need to look up how to understand.
