Pro Controller Question

[RARusk]

According to the Jag FAQ the Pro Controller has an additional five buttons that correspond to the keypad. I just want to verify if the following is correct:

 

X=Keypad 7

Y=Keypad 8

Z=Keypad 9

L=Keypad 4

R=Keypad 6

 

The reason for asking this is for my joypad interface covered in another topic. Thanks in advance.

No, the correct order is:

 

 

X=Keypad 9

Y=Keypad 8

Z=Keypad 7

 

L=Keypad 4

R=Keypad 6

 

 

For trying out your new device (or any other Jaguar controller) i recommend my Joypad-Testprogram,

you can find a link to it on my Jaguar-page.

Thanks for the answer. I noticed on your webpage that you have a schmatic to connect a digital mouse to the Jag. Will a digital mouse work with "Cannon Fodder" or is this strictly homebrew?

I doubt it. As with the Rotary controller the games need to know which kind of controller is attached in order to support them.

 

AFAIK only Starcat's Eerivale-Demo (found on the OceanDepths-CD) supports digital mice,

but i am not even sure if it will work with mice using an adapter made following my instructions

(as there is a diference between Atari and Amiga digital mice which either requires different wiring or different software)
