Ok. So I am finished (except for software) with my MAME cabinet.
I am using Hyperspin for my front end for multiple systems.
I am using Winvice for the C64 emulation.
I have a 4 player cab with player 1 and 2 having 6 buttons each.
Here is my dilemma. Most 64 games used the keyboard in some way even though most only need a few keys.
Now obviously the joystick and fire are no problem. But for the games requiring more I do not want to have to pull out a keyboard if I can avoid it.
Lets take a game like Spelunker for example. Joystick + trigger to jump.
Also uses D for dynamite, F for flare, and space bar for ghost zapper.
Joystick 1 has 6 buttons. The keyboard controller (I-pac) is programmed for the following... Left control, Left alt, Space, Left shift, Z, X
These are the standard mame controls.
It there anyway to make WinVice recognize these controls the way I need them to.
Left control would be trigger. That is standard, no problem.
Space happens to be needed so that is covered also.
Now the problem keys D and F. Could WinVice be programmed to recognize the Z key as D and the X key as F.
This was I could use my regular button set up without having to pull out the keyboard.
So simply put if I am pressing player 1 button 5 which is a Z the emulator would actually think I am pressing a D.
So of course this would be different on a game for game basis all programmed into WinVice.
Program LED Blinky to light up the buttons used in each game and bickety bam life is good.
Is this possible?
