WinUAE 5.1 won't keep input/game port settings after I exit the emulator

[thomas3120]

Hello,

rfancella years ago walked me through setting up winuae (huge help! thanks to  rfancella).

So the emulator launches games fine, I go into the game port part in winuae and (I-pac4) controls using F12 in game and I believe it's in Config tab I save the config file and exit the properties window (but not game or emulator).  The game plays great and mouse work.

When I exit emulator or when I hit ESC in RL and select another game and launch it, the controls seem to go back to their default settings (I believe).

For the life of me I can't remember what I'm missing and in rfancella's tutorial I don't recall seeing something about this (I could be mistaken).  

And the fact I turned a 1/2 century old in october doesn't help much

Did you find a solution? I remember it being very awkward.

Not yet. My hyperspin drive is acting up. Looking for a 5 to 6Tb SSD drive to transfer all my data to.  My old drive is a 4Tb mechanical HDD.

Are there any good 5Tb or 6Tb SSD drives out there(new)?

After I get it done I'll try again with winuae. 

Thanks gigapig

Biggest ssd in the UK is 4TB and costs £200.

Thanks gigapig,

Yeah searching around that seems to be what's happening. 

So I ordered a 6Tb WD black mechanical HDD. But also a 4Tb SSD for a 'working' drive for when I use Romcenter to update my name roms or using a rom renamer, etc...

Thinking hopefully in next few years the Tb"s of SSDs will go up and shouldn't be too expensive. 

Btw, how's  rfancella doing?

He helped me a great deal when I first started using HS back in 2013ish?

Unfortunately I have no idea, he was a great asset to the forum, very knowledgeable. Hopefully we can find or unarchive his old Amiga thread.
