shifting keys
« on: September 08, 2005, 08:05:19 pm »
i have an ipac 2 player thingy and i have enough for all my game buttons, but for menu buttons etc etc, i have no spaces =((

so i was thinking if there was a program that let me, lets say hook a button up to 3 different inputs on the ipac (up, down, and another) that would spit out an input for another key, such as exit or some random letter.

anyone?

player 1 start is used as the shifting key on any Ipac.  So pushing that in conjunction with any other button will yeild a different keystroke.  You can program what you want these to be.

The shift function is your friend. Use the docs, Luke.
