this is the way they are accessed by our code. [Fabio Priuli]
(MESS) snes.c: simplified input handling, moved the console specific inputs
to MESS driver and added preliminary Multitap support. Multitap has to be
enabled in the Driver Configuration menu. The code is considered preliminary
because some games recognize 4 pads (e.g. Kunio-kun no Dodge Ball),
other ones recognize 3 pads only (e.g. Super Bomberman 3, 4 & 5) and some
recognize 2 pads only (e.g. FIFA 96 and 97). [Fabio Priuli]
to be enabled in Controller Port 2 through the Driver Configuration
submenu, and mapped by default on TY,FGHJ,BN keys for side A
layout and RTYU,FGHJ,VBNM keys for side B. [Fabio Priuli]
as detected by games (i.e. it only detects voice/no voice, while the actual
transmission of your voice to the speakers is not emulated). To use it in
games expecting you to blow or shout in the mic, select the "Gamepad
(Older Version)" as "P2 Controller" in the Driver Configuration submenu,
and press "6" when the game requires it. [Fabio Priuli]
input is recognized both by BASIC (peeking at $4016) and by Raid on Bungeling Bay 2P mode, so I think it's correct...
* simplified input reading
* moved most Famicom controllers to the expansion port
(still configurable in the Driver Config menu) because it is
more accurate and because it allows to use both the FC
keyboard and the controllers in BASIC games
* fixed NES paddle emulation which broke some years ago
* added FC paddle emulation, see Arkanoid and Chase HQ
* added Hori Twin Adapter with correct P3 & P4 Famicom
protocol, see e.g. four players games by Technos Japan
just a cleanup and the whatsnew entry for previous changes...
emulation, fixed P3 & P4 inputs in Jpn games using them). nw.
paddle now works in Chase HQ too (the NES one don't because of the different protocol),
3rd & 4th players can enter inputs in Technos games, and it turned out that Lightgun was
actually working (I had probably tested with a non-clean compile), so that at last all selectable
input devices are finally working :-)
cassette. wav files supported only. [Fabio Priuli]
(MESS) Added software list for BASIC programs saved to tape [Anna Wu, UglyJoe, Fabio Priuli]
If anyone has more Family BASIC tapes or other cassettes for Famicom games or add-ons (e.g. Bandai Karaoke or Fukutake Study Box)
or for some chinese clones (ABM, or Bridge, or any other), please contact us.
they were attached there. This temporarily breaks Lightgun and Multitap in Famicom, but in
reality they were never working in Japanese-exclusive games, only in worldwide games who
supported NES protocol, so just use the NES driver to have previous functionality until I add
support for the FC protocol. Standard pads, keyboards and mj panel work as before). nw.
