      ZX Spectrum keyboard - Pi400 mapping

      @chubsta said in ZX Spectrum keyboard - Pi400 mapping:

      Even just a printout which shows which keys on the Pi relate to which keys on the Spectrum would be a nice start as I currently struggling to marry up the keys on the Pi with what I would like to achieve on the 'Spectrum'.

      Assuming you're using the fuse core, I don't think the mapping is that complicated. The core docs show the keyboard is sent as is, but I assume this applies to the core when game focus mode is enabled in RetroArch. Unfortunately, the PI400's keyboard doesn't include the 'Scroll Lock' key which is used by RetroArch to toggle 'game focus mode', so you'll have to rebind it to another key.

      Alternatively, you can give Zesarux a try and see how it fits with the Pi400.

      @BennyProfane ooh thanks for all the information. I have this book you see called "ZX Spectrum Games Code Club" which gives you a bunch of games you can code for yourself on the ZX Spectrum. Such as Tic Tac Toe and Breakout.

      If VS Code can do the same thing and pack it into tap/tzx which I could then port to RetroPie's Spectrum emulator to play, I think that'll be just as much fun to get my teeth in to.

      All I know so far is a little bit of C#, html, and Scratch (if you can call that a programming language lol). I'm looking to spread out a little into other languages and since I had the pi and code club book, I figured I'd start with some Basic before moving on to tutorials for Unity.

      @duglor said in Controller not working as Kempston for Spectrum Games:

      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)

      @10vorne If you are using lr-fuse, there is some useful info here:
      https://retropie.org.uk/docs/ZX-Spectrum/#controls

      I use that to set the gamepad to act as a Kempston joystick then choose that in the game. So thats just editing the spectrum retroarch file in /opt/retropie/configs/zxspectrum/retroarch.cfg

      For what its worth, here are some notes I scribbled some years ago

      input_libretro_device_p1 = "513"
      input_libretro_device_p2 = "0"
      input_libretro_device_p3 = "259"
      input_libretro_device_p4 = "1"
      input_libretro_device_p5 = "1"

      This sets the first player to Kempston and player 3 to keyboard

      To choose controls when starting a game, press select to bring up the keyboard overlay
      some games may need core option set per game to force 48k model for compatibility (like dizzy)

      Many thanks for the help. Now it works again! I actually thought that I only made the setting specifically for the game. Probably not...?

      Nice project, u plan to make a wireless version?

      Hi yes we plan a stretch goal for wireless hopefully - first though it is just about trying to raise our production goal. I know it is a large amount of money trying to raise 38k per design for the factory! We need all the backers and support we can get. But if we do get there then extra Stretch Goal options for other language layouts, wireless and other popular requests can then be added. Thanks for your feedback and support :)

      Please show us in a codeblock the output of the commands that @Norm gave you, when the drive is mounted in Ubuntu or Retropie (they are Linux commands, so no point to enter them in Win 10).

      What did you do exactly in both systems, step by step? E.g. which tools did you use to copy the roms onto the drive?

      Can you save your Spectrum collection in any other directory? Can you save it partly in the directory/ies that you can't save it completely in?

      Hm, I tried with R-type (the .tzx file) and it took almost 3 minutes to load (after changing the option for Fuse), with the cassette buzzing and all. I think it depends on the tape file. I tried Fred and I think it has also it's own loading routine.

      @chubsta If you are having problems, why not try finding those games on on other platforms? I also wanted to play Chuckie Egg, but I grew up playing it on a BBC Micro, and as yet Retropie doesn't support those, however there is an Atari ST version, which presumably would have better graphics than the Speccy one. Reading your post triggered that thought, and I found it today, and am hopefully going to find out how it works sometime this week.
