Amstrad CPC - where is the backslash \ key

crumbs

Here is my setup as requested in Read This First:
Pi3b, 2.1A aftermarket power supply
Retropie 4.3
Pre made SD Image: retropie-4.3-rpi2_rpi3.img
1 USB wireless bluetooth keyboard
2 identical Arcade DragonRise USB joysticks
lr-Caprice32

Hi All :)
When trying to play Roland in the Caves, I found the the \ key does not work. In fact, none of the keys on my standard keyboard (with @ above the 2) seem to map to the \ key when using the the game.

The \ key works fine when using the Raspbian command line so it appears the regional settings are not the cause.

Any knowledge or ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you

Looks like it's bound to "SDLK_LESS" whatever that is. I couldn't make it work either.

@deflektor According to the SDLKey documentation, it's the less-than sign (<).

In my Amstrad setup (lr-caprice) pressing x results in "xX" and pressing s = "sZ"

Any idea why this is happening?

@youxia It might be better if you started a new thread about this, since it's a completely different question from @crumbs' one.

hi, the (') key is also the (/) key
so just map ' as the jump right key instead of the / key
and now you can jump right in roland in the caves and avoid the pesky pterodactyl and poo on his head :)
