Hi all
I'm hoping someone may be able to help me!
I bought this device, which is great but I'm having real trouble trying to get the Dpad operational in my games
It's recognised as an X-input device.
Things I've tried
- Mapping the keys using Ctrl+F1. I am able to set the keyboard arrows to the Dpad, so the mapper recognises it, but they don't work in game
- I've tried various combinations of the dosbox.conf file, however from my reading on this forum, apparently this is what I should use:
joysticktype=fcs
timed=true
autofire=false
swap34=false
buttonwrap=false - I've had a go with JoyToKey, which does work. However, in this instance I'm trying to play the game, Screamer, which is just the 4 directional buttons. On my pad, I use A & B for forward & reverse and then the Dpad for left and right. In other games, ie TombRaider, that wouldn't work so I'd have to manually switch every time I load a different game. Whereas the mapping facility in DOSBox is what I need....if it actually worked.
So I'm stuck 😒 Any ideas? Many thanks!
PS I'm using DOSBox 0.74
