Changing Button Config In Daphne Singe for American Laser Games

[Grimoz]

Hey, im running my american laser games through daphne singe and its running great but im not going to be able to put it into my cabinet as I dont have a keyboard encoder (im using a xin mo interface) and these versions of the game require button 5 to be pressed for credits and button 1 for player 1 which I dont have, does anyone know if this can be reconfigured to other buttons?

dapinput.ini

If you want to change Daphne's keyboard input without using DaphneLoader (which is not recommended), then you will need to either edit or create a file called dapinput.ini inside Daphne's home directory.

The format of each line the file is as follows:

key name = keysym1 keysym2 buttonID

The "keysyms" refer to keyboard codes that are defined by the SDL library. The buttonID refers to buttons on a joystick where 0 means no button and 1 is the first button (at least, as far as I can remember haha). A full list of "keysyms" can be found in the KeyList section.

An example of a dapinput.ini file is:

[KEYBOARD]
KEY_UP = 273 114 0
KEY_DOWN = 274 102 0
KEY_LEFT = 276 100 0
KEY_RIGHT = 275 103 0
KEY_BUTTON1 = 306 97 0
KEY_BUTTON2 = 308 115 0
KEY_BUTTON3 = 32 113 0
KEY_START1 = 49 0 0
KEY_START2 = 50 0 0
KEY_COIN1 = 53 0 0
KEY_COIN2 = 54 0 0
KEY_SKILL1 = 304 119 0
KEY_SKILL2 = 122 105 0
KEY_SKILL3 = 120 107 0
KEY_SERVICE = 57 0 0
KEY_TEST = 283 0 0
KEY_RESET = 284 0 0
KEY_SCREENSHOT = 293 0 0
KEY_QUIT = 27 0 0
END

KeyList
From DaphneWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

These are a list of key codes for use in the dapinput.ini file.

These codes come from SDL.

NOTE : Keys that require shift to be pressed (like !, @, #, and $ on a US keyboard) cannot be mapped for Daphne because Daphne interprets 'shift' as a its own key rather than a key modifier. These keys are still listed below in case some keyboard out there can do keys like !, @, and # without holding down shift.

Awesome Dgame i'll give that a try tonight, hopefully Daphne Singe works the same way.

Thanks buddy that worked perfectly, now I just have to figure out why my games are opening in the background of Hyperspin.....dammit!!!!!!

Thanks dgame, this was exactly what I needed as well.  Worked perfectly in Daphne Singe.  I was having trouble figuring out the controls for Time Traveler, got it straight with your help!
