Guys, the Compo is almost done and we have already one entry which i wanted to try. Since i dont have my VB around i am forced to use an Emulator.
I tried the latest Rboy but that is buggy so my only choice is Mednafen…
Well i almost smashed my keyboard against the wall. This emulator is pissing me off every time i try to use it.
WHAT THE FUCK I’M SUPPOSED TO DO TO GET THE CONTROLS WORKING???
Even the GUIs dont offer me any button mapping function.
I just dont get it. I almost want to call this emulator a piece of shit but i know it isnt. But getting controls working just doesnt work for me.
Please help.

You know, that’s a good question. It took me ages too to switch from Reality Boy to Mednafen as my default emulator because of this.

But:

It’s actually Alt+Shift+1.

Now, where is that documented? I don’t know, my mednafen.html file doesn’t mention it, although my version is quite old – wow, it’s from 2011.

This actually almost ruins a good emulator. It’s not like that controls are not important or so… Thx Horvat, i give it a try.

HOLY COW THIS WORKS!!! I cant belive it.

OK, fine. My old version quits with no warning if you press F1 with vb.xscale and vb.yscale set to 1.0, but the latest doesn’t anymore, and it finally has the key combination documented in the documentation.

But I still find it absurd that there existed at least one version where such a basic feature wasn’t documented properly.

And don’t get me started on the debugger that makes no attempt to fit itself in the window. Want to debug/reverse engineer games while using crosseye mode? Have fun looking at them with vb.yscale set to 3.0 so the debugger will fit without having to use an unusably small font.

Oh, and it always writes the configuration file with LF-terminated lines. It’s not like anyone would ever try to edit it with Windows Notepad, right?

I find it absurd that you’re not giving me free waffles.
