Vice 64 Joystick Config File

[monkeybus]

Hello folks,

I am trying to educate my son on the joys of the 64, as opposed to his Switch. Boulderdash, Monty Mole, Wizard of Wor. How great were they?

I am struggling to set up a wired XBox controller. I know there are a lot of posts about this, but here is my question.

Is there a config file I can hand edit with the joystick/keyboard to joystick mappings?

All the fiddling about with the menus is no good for my boy, he is demanding plug and play. If I can edit the file directly, then I can rig up some buttons to the GPIO to change settings for various games.

Thanks a lot, folks. Sorry if this has been covered before, I did search (honest).

Talk to you later.

Sit him down in front of a real C-64 loading from a cassette drive and waiting 20m for a game to load, only to fail and have to try and reload it again. That'll learn 'em. :P

Indeed, before turbo tape hit the scene, them games took forever to load.

Me and my brother would just sit and stare at the blue screen. God forbid we'd pick up a book while we waited.

@monkeybus have you tried lr-vice? It provides onscreen keyboard support and easy exit via hotkey+start.

@monkeybus I remember when Compute! published Turbotape, it was unbelievably fast. Here are the technical details for those interested.
