Gamepad menu controls

Open s1eve-mcdichae1 opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

I'm trying to use this game with RetroPie. Ideally, I'd like everything to be fully functional using only a gamepad as input, no keyboard required.

For this game, however, that may not be possible. It seems I can't access the menu without a keyboard which makes it impossible to pause or, more importantly, exit the game. Is there something I've overlooked, or that's just the way it is? (And if it's "B," do you take requests?)

Additionally, the game only responds to my (Logitech F710) gamepad's analog stick, and I am unable to bind the D-pad to the directional controls. Same questions as above.

Thanks for looking.

If you build with SDL2, it should recognise most joystick plugged.

About the controls, yeah, I guess a keyboard is needed for now. It's probably "fixable", but I have thought about it.

I did build with SDL2; it does recognize it, and I can control it with the stick and buttons. It is only the D-pad that is not recognized (however, I have found that my controller has the ability to swap the stick and d-pad functions, so with that, I can use the d-pad instead of the stick.)

It would be great if you could. I had a brief look at the code but I am very amateur and it did not make much sense for me. :)
