Re: [Zsnes-main] ZSNES doesn't recognize 2 Buttons of my gamepad

[<gre...@ya...>]

Let me start by saying I don't know much about
anything, and I know even less about keyboards.

I've been gleaning a tidbit or two from the Linux
Keyboard and Console HOW-TO.

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO

in section 5.2 it describes how to change what happens
when you press certain keys (or, more specifically,
when you generate certain keycodes.)

I'm quoting here.

               /usr/bin/loadkeys << EOF
               keycode 14 = BackSpace
               keycode 111 = Delete
               EOF


so basically you are saying:

keycode X = SOMEKEY

so I guess just find out what keycodes (if any) your
joypad generates (do joypads even generate keycodes?)
and then set them to ... errr ... BackSpace and
Delete. Then in zsnes, tell it to use backspace and
delete for those 2 missing buttons.

I highly doubt this will work, but you never know.

The Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO is an excellent
document... you should prolly read it anyway.
