General usage - lgblgblgb/xemu GitHub Wiki

Please also read the article of the given emulator for more information at the INDEX page. This article is about the general usage only, emulators can have special things.

Keyboard

Emulators has positional keyboard emulation (rather than symbolic). Though, in same cased "virtual shift" is emulated for some keys (like cursor keys for C65/M65 or even VIC20, though this latter one didn't have this feature for real!)

Hot-keys

  • F9: exit emulator
  • F10: reset machine (not all emulation implement this)
  • F11: toggle between windowed and full-screen modes

If emulator implements joystick emulation

  • USB joysticks / game controllers can be used. However currently there is no sane mapping, ie you can guess witch stick can be used :) XBox-360 controller is tested at least, and it worked for me.
  • In addition of USB joysticks, right CTRL is the fire button
  • In addition of USB joysticks, the following numeric keypad keys can be used:
  • 8: up
  • 2: down
  • 4: left
  • 6: right
  • 0: fire (note: right CTRL is also this for easier usage)
  • If an emulator implements two joystick ports (ie: C65, M65), you can use Enter on the numeric keypad to switch between the ports, it's valid selection for both of USB joystick and numeric keypad joystick emulation
