Title: Help with AtomicFE
Post by: spun10th on August 04, 2006, 06:16:51 pm
I'm trying out the Atomic front end and I really like it so, I just have a few problems.  I can't seem to get the page up/down function to work.  I have ran the key configurator and set the page up/down to left/right on the joystick, however, this does not seem to be taking effect.  It generates the atomicfe.key file but here's what's inside of it:
PLAYER1_BT1=65
PLAYER1_BT2=65
PLAYER1_BT3=65
PLAYER2_BT1=65
PLAYER2_BT2=65
PLAYER2_BT3=65
ESCAPE=65
DOWN=65
UP=65
RIGHT=39
LEFT=37
PLAYER2_START=37
PLAYER1_START=39

Can someone explain what the numbers are referring to (ie. whey do almost all buttons = 65?).

Unless something has changes, left and right should page up and down out of the box.  Are you using a pnp module?  What happens after a clean install, before you run key config.  Now there is a new feature that pages a letter at a time but I have not used that yet.

Hi,

How to you control Atomic ?  With a keyboard?  A Cabinet Joystick Via a JPAC or IPAC? A Keyborard Hack?  or a PC Joystick?

AtomicKey , for key configuration only works with 3 first option not with a PC Joystick.

The only way to change affectation of control with a PC Joystick is to use a tool like Joy2Keys  , that converts PC Joystick input to keyboard order.

Now, if you have a "keyboard" kind of input.  AtomicKeys should work withtout problems.

You run it, press start , then the tool prompt you for  "action" and you just have to press the key you want map to this action.

the code you see in the file , are windows key code.
