Help with gens4all

Post by DrNicholas »

I download the latest version of gens4all, extracted the .bin files, made it an sdiso, it boots up and plays roms. but I cant set the controls. Like I go to preferences and set player 1 to controller and 3 button. and then I go to keys and press on a button x (to initialize the button change) and then the button for that button. and it will register, except for the dpad, analog stick, and shoulder buttons. And in game the buttons themselves dont work. Although I can browse the menu. Can someone help me?

I know nothing about Gens4All, so I can't possibly help you with it. I just moved the topic to the correct forum so that hopefully someone might be able to help you. :roll:

Wow DrNicholas, calm down :)

I'll have to check again, but I don't remember if the default value for Player input is Controller or Keyboard. Try to change to keyboard and do the reconfiguration again, it should work fine (yes, even it says keyboard, internally SDL translate keyboard keys to Controller buttons).

I can't test it till weekend, so I can't help more now.

it works with the keyboard, but why put joy controls when they dont work with the games themselves?
