magnetic scrolls v1.1 help keyboard not working

bugaboo · Post by **bugaboo** » Sat Jul 17, 2004 4:34 pm

has anyone burned this yet and got it to work with keyboard?
i got the sbi and burned in with others on a single menu etc,
but the keyboard just doesnt work with it ???

so has anyone tried this and can confirm it works for them , i tired the keyboard in all ports and it says in the instructions you can use any port for keyboard, but it just doesnt work, but it registers the keyboard for first press to scroll the text then when you come to type it does nothing, also it says at the intro press space or fire to start but only fire on the controller works.

this looks an excellent port, but without the keyboard i just don't wanna use it, what a waste, i gotta have this working, i need to play "the pawn" again,

what to do, could it be being an sbi that is causing this ?
will it make any difference burning it as a selfboot on its own, like genesis plus preview sbi only works this way for some reason

please someone help.

I gave a quick answer over on DCemu where you asked, check it
out, and if it still doensn't work I'll help you on a step by step to make it
a stand alone.

and Yes the pawn.. great game..

Have you tried the SBI2Boot method? That should do the same as a regular selfboot would.

I don't have a key board, so there is no way for me to test that part of it. I do know that the readme says a keyboard is not necessary, so you may want to try the discs that you already made, and see if you can figure out some way to use the on-screen keyboard that kamjin included.

just to wrap this up

it works now just not with the keyboard in port 4

thanks Kamjin for an excellent port

oh and anyone without a keyboard

its worth getting one just for this
