I'm having trouble with Joy to Key and using a gamepad. Has anyone tried using this game with that software?
This game seemed perfect for a gamepad, but the controls are behaving strangely. Like if i push the thrust key too rapidly when I'm driving my rover, it will return to the ship as though I hit the return button. Same problem when I'm navigate around a solar system. It will hightlight the menu to the right if I tap the thrust key too rapidly.
Anyone encounter the same?
Edit - The reason I'm trying to use JoyToKey is I wanted the gamepad to work like the keyboard. I had much better control with the keyboard. The gamepad and the analog joysticks work, but when I control my rover and ships, they spin around too much. I tried to switch control instead to the direction pad and thrust to a button. But it seems the gamepad is getting confused between it's default behavior and this new JoyToKey control placed on top of it.
Just had a thought. Wonder if I could turn off the joystick in the DOSBox config? That way the only control would be through JoyToKey. hmmm... so crazy it just might work.
EDIT - Yep, that fixed it. Set Joysticktype=none. At first I tried setting Buttonwrap=false and that helped but it still had the old joystick settings for some buttons. So I just shut the joystick off in DOSbox and let Joy to Key take over completely.
