2 Enhancements Requested For PSX

CedarCreekGuy · December 31st, 2008

I enjoy using PSX to emulate the PlayStation but to fully utilize it in an Arcade machine environment it would be nice to see 2 enhancements made to it.

1. Should be able to recognize all keyboard scan codes. Currently it is not able to recognize/trap scan codes such as LALT ( 56 ). This would make it easier to use standard controllers used on Arcade machines ( TankStick ) and mappings with FrontEnds and other emulators such as MAME. This would allow the user to utilize the same controller mapping across the FrontEnd, MAME, PSX, etc.
ie: With the TankStick the LALT scan code is default mapped as the triangle button on a game controller, but PSX cannot recognize the scan code when the button is pressed. Adding the scan code manually to the INI file results in PSX misinterpreting it as LMENU, and it does not trap the code.

2. The addition of the ability to map an exit code to a specific scan code, or combination of scan codes, would make it easier to use PSX under a FrontEnd without the need to have a keyboard present. When using a controller such as the TankStick all buttons are utilized for gameplay and there is no way other then to use a keyboard to exit the game with <ESC>. If PSX could be configured to use a combination of codes you could specify an exit code as well.

PSX is a terrific EMU, and could be enhanced further, I think, with these additions.

Known Requests. They're indeed good ideas, but over-requested (and both in high demand).
