Remapping keyboard to 8Bitdo joypad, for older systems like Spectrum and Amstrad

[garfee]

Hi guys.

On some of the Amstrad and Spectrum games I play, to start the game you need to press "S" on the keyboard.

Is there a way I can map specific key strokes to the joypad ?

For example: Map "S" to one of the shoulder buttons ?

I have looked in the retroarch menus (select + X), and I can only remap certain keys. In this case, "S" is not listed as an key I can change.

Is it possible to do this manually by amending the .rmp file ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

@garfee If you are using lr-fuse, then it is possible to map key presses to a joypad in the RGUI. More info at: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/ZX-Spectrum/#joypad-to-keyboard-mapping
