AmigaInputAnywhere

Hello all

I will love to be able to configure AmigaInputAnywhere for use with one X-Arcade double controller.Is this possible or advisable in the future?

Is to play roms with 2 players like friends for example.

Can you give us this satisfaction for us the players?

Thank you very much for this fantastic program.At least now I can play xMAME 1.06 with joypad since today because yesterday I restored my AmigaOS 4.1 FE Update 2 system

Correct binary from 21.06.2022 is now in the upload queue

Something went wrong with packaging. Wrong version was included in the lha archive, with an old Italian catalog file, will be uploading the correct version soon, you can see release date in changelog does not match version date, this this was beta/alpha version.

@levellord I was a bit shocked it was 10 years between 2.3 and 2.4, of course it’s not like I did not do anything in that period on the contrary, I work on many different projects etch I learned something, 2.4 was mostly about fix the worst mistakes, 2.5 and up coming 2.6 is about bringing this project up to standard.

Great utility to assign keyboard controls to your existing joystick/gamepad if unit is not recognized by game. Targeted game must have an option to play it via keyboard. Since AmigaInput is useless, this is only option, and after the update I did not find any issues. 10+

Yep me sorry, you are right i didn't thinked at that...

@Samo79 you know you sent me PM instead of this post this in public. And I really do not get why you needed to post my e-mail, as If do not get any spam already.

Don't know if the correct address but just send you a message at kjetil.hvalstrand(@)gmail(dot)com

There is a bug, when select files, if you have deleted a configuration, I was keeping a double record of config files, sadly only noticed after uploading 2.5.

anyware is a typo.

Anywhere means it can be used at or to any place, all applications all games, workbench, your shell, not limited to games.

Anyware as in any software.

is it really "anyware" and not "anywhere"? Just to be sure.

Thanks

@MamePPCA1 Sorry Iâm only interested in AmigaInputAnyware bugs/feature requests. For AmigaOS4.1 support questions you need to ask on amigans or amigaworld

I have problems to configure my USB pad with AmigaInput. I have no idea of what the bottons of the GUI are for and tell me someone how to configure my controller's cross and its 8 buttons. I would like to have this gamepad activated to play with 3 players on MAME with my friends.

@Amigo1

You need to test/calibrate unit in AmigaInput prefs first, and save! once this is done you can see a list of all USB devices AmigaInput supports, only connect device will be used.

I did remove the Defalt.info file no change. I renamed Defalt to Default no change either

mmh.. not working here on SamFlex OS4.1U1

Double-click on the icon and this is what appears: [quote] Read file: Defalt Read file: Defalt .info Read file: Zoidsquest Read file: SuperMario Read file: Quake2 Read file: FPSE Read file: ADoom Can open file "progdir:config/Defalt" Can open file "progdir:config/Defalt" Found ID ffffffff ** ERROR ** Amiga Input failed [/quote] There is a file named "Defalt" in Progdir:config. It seems to be ok too since it looks very similar in contents as the other files. Protection bits are the same too.

The solution wasn't very far-fetched: the wrong device was always found, despite that it wasn't connected. I just renamed all the PCI_#?.driver files elsewhere, and now the USB gamepad is recognized. If I have both of them connected, the one lower in the list is picked. About FPSE, yes it does work at least for one PSX controller.

GREAT ! I got it working with reminiscence, next is FPSE !!

it is not fully working because only the cross works, the digital axes are still controlling the mouse X/Y (probably a config thing)...

It should be make clear that prefs_anywhere and AmigaInputAnywhere must be in the same directory, to make the config.txt file available.

thank you so much !

Well it works whit Workbench, Quake2, Zoid, Mario Clone, thatâs what I have test it on, but there should be where few limitations on what canât be controlled whit this, you probably can control your multimedia keys and AmigaAMP too, if you like too.

Thx for explanations, I will try again...

with which programms did you test it ? Would be very nice if FPSE would work ;-)

To map the keys you start the ugly Prefs_Anywhere program, the config file most be in progdir, if not no configuration is not loaded.

Do NOT move the program inn to wbstartup, it might block/stop other programs from using GamePad

Using prefs anywhereâ¦

When text UP text is displayed, then you pres the up key on your keyboard When the DOWN text is displayed press the down key on your keyboard.

Thatâs how the Prefs_Anyware program works.

I have a working amigainput and usb joypad but I dont know how to use aminany too ! I mean I was able to use the joypad x/y and buttons to replace the mouse but I am unable to play games which lack amigainput supports. I open the prefs but dont know what to calibrate. Is it the kbd ? the joypad ? for instance how do I assign the kbd directions keys to my x/y axes of the usb joypad ? same question for ENTER, SPACE, TAB, ESC to be assigned to buttons 1-2-3-4 of the usb joypad... once this is set, it should work with "amigainputless" games... A little proggry full of potential though !

Well first of all itâs not driver, some else put it that categoryâ¦

1. It just translates events AmigaInput.library to input.device IO commands, so you need AmigaInput installed,

2. If you canât find your USB gamepads in AmigaPrefs then you do not have a working AmigaInput.prefs file.

3. If the gamepads do not show up in E-UAE or AmigaInputAnyware program, then you have not calibrated your gamepad, sorry to say AmigaInput normally crashes if you try, if you have managed to calibrated it then will be an extra file in envarc:AmigaInput for that gamepad.

I can't get this to work. But perhaps someone knows something that I do not.

Cool ! that would be handy for FPSE and others kbd only games !!!

thanks !!!
