keypress to ascii
« on: October 19, 2004, 09:45:27 am »
Hi all,

there was a tiny DOS program doing the rounds that on a keypress returned a charachter value for use in config files for assigning keys to functions.

Can anybody point me in the right direction??

Thanks

Dexter

Was it the Scancode utility from the PC2Jamma project? It's available from the download page here:

I have something that does just that stuck in my ASCII Pong, simply because I couldn't find one, and it wasn't hard to make. The bonus over the other ones is that you get Pong too (albiet a very poor version of it  :P ).

Edit: Oh yea: Link!

Thanks all! I'm remapping some keys so my pause button switches screen orientation in Arcadeos.
