Controls
By default, Quasi88 uses the keyboard for controls. To enable a controller:
Press F12. This will bring up a menu with several tabs at the top.
Click the "mouse" tab.
Click the dropdown that's labelled "nomouse". Change it to "joystick".
Once this is done, the controls will be automatically mapped as such:
Left Joystick - Number Pad
A Button - Z key
B button - X key
Emulator: lr-quasi88
This emulator can be installed from the experimental menu of the RetroPie-Setup script.
Controls
lr-quasi88 utilises Retroarch configurations.
Add custom retroarch controls to the retroarch.cfg file in
/opt/retropie/configs/pc88/retroarch.cfg
For more information on custom RetroArch controls see: RetroArch Configuration
