Blood Money AmiBerry Control issues
-
Have tried to find the answer to this, in the documents and also on the various posts, but sadly have not been able to.
All my Amiga games are controllable, by using the Dragonrise USB board with a Generic Joystick and buttons fitted. This without having to adjust any settings within the AmiBerry menu.
However, Blood Money (one of my favourite ever Amiga games), doesn't work at all. Even though I have set the Input and controller settings according to the guide here
https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/wiki/Setting-up-Input-Controllers
and also looking at this too,
https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/wiki/Setting-up-Keyboard-Controllers
I am getting better with programming Linux but am still very much a novice.I have the very latest version of Amiberry installed as I have only just put on the emulator to enjoy the games during the lockdown. But after staying up till 2am to try and get Blood Money working I have come on here for help. The rom version I have is BloodMoney_v1.5a_0302.lha if this helps.
I just find it very weird that ALL the other games are OK, even Battle Chess (Still love the Monty Python knight move), and that is the one I thought wouldn't work.
Thanks in advance! -
Blood Money has player one's controller set to the wrong port IIRC. It should be in port 1 but it is in port 0. you can change it in Amiberry and save a config fire.

OK thanks for that, but as I am pretty new to this how do you do this?
On Amiberry Input tab I have Port 0 (Mouse) set to Dragonrise and CD32 (as this is the custom controls settings).
Port 1 has an Xbox controller and Port 3 a wireless keyboard. Mouse Stick 0 is set to None.
I had set the custom controls to what the given link said, but it looks like they get lost everytime I exit the game (so how do I save my settings).
The Custom control Input Device is set to Dragonrise and has an R after it as in the instructions. I have the Remap Dpad to Left Axis box checked so I can set up the Dpad controls to Joy1 Up, Down etc. and the North S, E, W buttons set up as Joy1 CD32 Yellow etc as per diagram of controller.
So what am I doing wrong? Or do I have to manually edit the cfg file for the game. As there doesn;t appear to be any Save set up options in Amiberry.
Thanks again for your help George.Just tried again and weird thing it works with the Xbox controller fitted in Port 1, that's the Dpad and the Analogue sticks, also button A with the fire button, but Start Button and Select button don't work so I have to exit using the Start and Select buttons on my Dragonrise stick.
Progress at least, I can now play it, but really want to play on the Arcade stick. -
I have a PS3 pad in port 1 set to Joystick. I have no custom inputs defined. You can save settings in the configurations tab in Amiberry. You may need to save settings for for several of your games.
Hope this helps.
