MOSTLY HarmlessI was playing Elite recently
, and had to work out all the keyboard commands for thrust, hyperdrive, retro, etc (there's a lot
). Whilst bringing up the keyboard for some games is enough... it's way too difficult to use this method for a game like Elite, which needs quick key pressing
. I know that keys can be bound for PSP buttons... but, here's my idea.
Would it be possible to have some kind of "function" button so that once held down gives a different command, simple example: pressing the L or R shoulder buttons while holding triangle button.
Alternatively, simple example: once up, down, left, or right on d-pad is pressed, there's a different configuration for all PSP buttons. [for just the L, R, & 4 basic buttons you could have 4 x the key binding
, in other words 24 key-mappings rather than 6
]
Although this might seem a little complicated
and granted un-necessary for most games, for the games that do need lots of keyboard action it'll make the games very much playable... as is, besides listening to the Blue Danube for intro and crashing into space stations while trying to dock, Elite is unplayable.
Last thing: excellent job guys!
PSPUAE is my most used homebrew app... how i love to play the old classics like Alien Breed, Paradroid, Escape from Colditz, and so many other absolute gems.
keep up the great work
