how to read a touch pad with Bb?

[abaudrand]

Hi, I'm looking to use as an option the star raider pad or the kid control or the keyboard. Is it possible to read it with Bb?

Thanks to Michael Rideout, it looks like it is.

Have a look at this thread for details.

thanks, I'm looking at it. I need a long time to understand how to assign functions for each buttons.

Actually, I never completely finished my code for it. But someone else took it, cleaned it up, and got it working! Unfortunately, I'm going blank right now on who it was, but he posted it in another thread.

thanks Michael. I'm stuck on Stella with it (the keys seems not working despite I've check their assigment in options) I will try it on harmony with real touchpad.

My current worry is that it takes 3 variables for working plus some code in the Vblank. I will try to call batman to nibble some variables and see what's left once the whole game is finished. If I got three, I will try to include it as option.

regards.

The key assignments only takes affect if Stella knows the controller is "plugged in". If you haven't changed them they default to Joystick as it's the most frequently used controller.

 

Hit TAB to bring up the in-game settings

Click on GAME PROPERTIES

Select the CONTROLLER tab

Change the P0(left) and/or P1(right) CONTROLLER to KEYBOARD depending on what you need.

 

Stella will remember the settings for that ROM, but if you make an update and recompile the ROM will have changed so you'll have to change the controller settings again.

Okay, it was CurtisP, and he posted his work at the end of that thread.

See, I never knew anyone worked on awesome stuff like this. Do we have an archive for include files like this that I've missed?

Maybe it can be useful to make a new thread in Random Terrain website like "How to handes special controllers with batari?"
