Title: Testing control mapping to keyboard
Post by: WonderMellon on November 04, 2004, 12:40:16 pm
I have 1 joystick and 1 set of buttons wired and hooked up to my keywiz.  Unfortunatly I seem to have destroyed the disk that came with the encoder.  I need to see what keys on the keyboard the controls are mapped to.  Is there a program out there that will tell you what keys are pressed?  

I can use notepad for the alpha keys, but that won't show me the arrow and control keys.

Well, the keywiz doesn't save custom settings in memory, so if you aren't loading the keywiz software at bootup, you can re-start you machine and the keys will be mapped to: http://www.mameworld.net/tigerheli/encoder/inputs.jpg

If you are using the software, I think it will show you the keyassignments, or you can use Ghostkey, KeyJammin, KeyScan, etc. from http://www.arcadecontrols.com/arcade_downloads.shtml#Utilities (http://www.arcadecontrols.com/arcade_downloads.shtml#Utilities)

Thanks Tiger-Heli!  I was looking in the interfaces section.  I completely missed the utilities section.
