Atari800 Emulator (Windows) joystick disable?

[Jetboot Jack]

Does anyone know a way, from the command line, that I can disable the built in joystick setup in this emulator?

 

By default the emulator seems to work with any connected USB (or in my case bluetooth Xbox One Pad) - but the button layout is horrific, it assigns all buttons to fire!!!

 

So I would like to use Xpadder to control the emulator and script my own buttons to hotkeys to control it better.

 

But because the joypad is always being used I cannot do that.

 

In the Windows version I can find no command line switch to turn off the pad - there is a "-nojoystick" in theSDL version :-(

 

Anyone got any ideas?

FYI, the only Windows binaries we provide at Atari800's download section are of the SDL version, so -nojoystick should work fine.

hmmmmm - that's odd, -nojoystick in the command line hangs Atari800 when I try using it in my Launchbox install as a command line parameter...

 

I am not using 4.0.0 - should I?

So I have installed the x86 64 bit SDL version and it works.

 

Does 3.0.0 have an issue with that CL parameter, I download from the official link every time...

 

Needless to say thank you for your reply as I am now a happy emulatorist again!

Yeah, there had been a bug with -nojoystick, but it was fixed about two years ago.

Two years ago - wow...

 

Well I guess since the last stable release before 4.0.0 was in 2014 and I've not been using test builds that explains it!
