Hi.
Is it possible to use both joysticks to control the Mala gamelist?
-
Not that I know of since the Mala controls panel only accepts one key input per movement. It might be possible however using Auto Hot Key as a separately running program to remap additional keys. Problem is this, this will likely mess up the game functions later on unless you can somehow get that AHK file to close before Mala launches a game.... probably not worth it in my opinion. :)

You're right with everything you say. I hoped there would be a workaround for the 'one key only' but using Auto Hot Key would not be the solution. :)

dont know if it`d work as i dont know how many similtaneous inputs can be triggered at the same time but if you have two spare inputs you could wire them to both the up and down of both player joysticks (so they both trigger the two extras plus their intended inputs at the same time) and set mala to recognise the two extra inputs that would do nothing except move the game list?
--- forget that just thought it through wouldnt work, how about two separate inputs within reach of both players, or specific game selection either side :)

authotkey should work as long as you specify that the "same button" triggers are only active when the mala window is active

maybe it's because I use a gamepad style interface but I have both of my joysticks with gameslist control.
