Winuae issues

[patto]

Hopefully I have not been so burnt out in the brain I get this right.

 

So I have win uae and I am trying to load up maniac mansion.. it loads but I cant access the arrows in the game to move the characters around attached is the 2 pics I am trying to figure out  I would like to use my mouse as the main feature to control the characters in the game and space bar is the pause menu..

 

anyone help me set these configurations up correctly.. its so confusing normally ya just point what ya want and click the buttons but this is never work.. after I make up some buttons I save the file and still it aint working in game..   Frustrating

Unless there is a specific reason you are using win-uae, I'd recommend that you at least try out fs-uae. They are both based on the same engine, so compatibility is identical, but fs-uae takes out a lot of the guesswork and has a much nicer interface for gaming to boot.

Win-uae is certainly a lot more powerful in terms of customising your emulated machine;  I myself always use it for emulating workbench and for working on files, but for gaming fs-uae is a lot simpler.

Thanks mate will check it out

[Tomkun]

No worries. I often think that FS-UAE is an underappreciated emulator, so I like to sing its praises when I can. Good luck!

I downloaded it and started it but I think I need to buy a kickstart program to get things working?

 

Still open to anyone who can help me configure win uae controls/

[Tomkun]

What are you  trying to run out of interest? You won't be able to run anything without kickstart.

Kickstart are the roms not programs... and you should have Kickstart roms if you are using WinUAE.. they should be in their folder.

I think I tried to get FS going before but had problems setting up.. not sure if I even put too much energy into but I remember having it and then just setup WinUAE. As a former Amiga die-hard user.. I think WinUAE has everything an Amiga user would need to feel comfortable away from a real Amiga.

I am trying to load up maniac mansion  I can load it up but cant get the mouse cursor arrows to  move.

[Tomkun]

In Win-UAE, FS-UAE or both? If you can get it to load then it's not a kickstart issue. Sounds like you have an issue with your configuration somewhere, but I couldn't tell you what it was as the mouse should "just work". Does the mouse work in other games?

[Tomkun]

Hang on...  Maybe I see your problem. Why do you have your mouse set to emulate a gamepad?

[patto]

I have no idea mate, I have just set up all my wheels with roms and now I am working on having my controllers working ..

 

What do you think I need to do

 

any help please

FS-UAE is next to impossible to get running in Rocketlauncher. I still haven't been able to get it going using the WHDLoad set despite some people over at their forums trying to help.

[Tomkun]

The current version of the FS-UAE module for rlauncher doesn't support WHDLoad, that's why. I updated it so it does work, here.

Please try that and get back to me if it works or not. I've been using that for over a month now with no problems but have received absolutely zero feedback from anyone.
