Controller not working as Kempston for Spectrum Games

It's a bit disappointing that I can't find a way to run games in ZEsarUX straight from the menu rather that firing up the emulator and then running the game - this seems to be the same with FBZX and Fuse.

Can you post the contents of /dev/shm/runcommand.log when this doesn't work (i.e. launching the game with zesarux as emulator) ?

dazzathedrummer

Managed to get this working by re-installing and updating all packages.
I still can't go right in games run with lr-fuse but zesarux works fine.

I guess I'll use zesarux as my default emulator and lr-fuse for mapping keyboard only games to the gamepad (unless that's possible with zesarux?).

I prefer zesarux and like the way you can use it as a standalone ZX Spectrum.

@dazzathedrummer are the images .z80? If so, there is a known issue with lr-fuse being discussed in github. No committed fix yet.

One particular game is a tzx most of the others just say .zip

Any fix yet? Just curious.

@roslof I hope the Kempston issue is soon solved and a new fuse is released with the fix for that. It's really been quite too long. Good luck to whoever tries to fix this. Be well!

The project stalled in the middle of last year, but the fix is sitting as a Pull Request, just waiting for somebody to review. I think there is a conflict with the upstream codebase, but mainly, somebody just needs to look at it. I already tested it and it works. I can't speak to the quality of the code though...

@roslof Thank you for the reply

@duglor the fix was finally merged to the libretro/fuse project a couple of days ago.

Here's the merge/commit to master.

Excellent. Does that mean it's in the latest binary update or source update? or not yet?

You may now update via binary or source and should receive changelist 847dbbd (or later if any new changes come in).

You can verify this after you update by selecting "Package version information" and noting the long "Commit" number (should start with 847dbbd)
