Hi,
I use my keyboard as a gamepad in RA. However, this creates a conflict when emulating a computer: keys are interpreted as both controller presses and keyboard presses.
For example, if I press “up arrow”, the emulated system sees both “gamepad up” and “up arrow”.
This breaks quite a few games, which often interpret keyboard keys in undesirable ways (most commonly, pausing the game). What is the best way to fix it?
When you want to pass keyboard events to the core instead of retropad/hotkey events, hit 'scroll lock" to enter “game focus mode”.
That is the opposite of what I want to do. I want to send retropad events, and suppress keyboard events.
Ah, yeah, there’s not a great mechanism for this, unfortunately. I think at least one of the classic computer cores has its own gamepad/keyboard lockout function, but it’s not a standard funtionality.
Damn, too bad. Thanks for the help.
