Key Bindings and (Swiss) German Keyboard

[pilif]

Hi,

I posted this in my enthusiastic pSX emulator rocks-thread, but I was told to put the bug report here aswell, so here we go:

There's a little buglet with my swiss german keyboard and the keybindings window:

As you know, Y and Z (among other things) are exchanged in German keyboards in comparison to the English ones. Now usually, that doesn't matter in key configuration screens: The software is usually preconfigured wrongly to use Z wher I'd prefer Y, but that's easily fixed by just reconfiguring it.

Not with pSX emulator: When I open the configuration screen and press Y, it is listed as Y, but the running emulation itself STILL expects me to press Z.

This has the advantage of working out of the box and the disadvantage of being very, very confusing as the configuration screen recognizes the correct key, but the actual emulation does not.

Anyways. That's really one hell of a non-issue because it does not prevent me from playing at all (like other "features" in other emulators do).

Trouble-causing pSX version : v1.6
System : Windows XP

I have a very similar issue : the Z-and-so key config is not the one I want, so I tried to change it. Just like Philip, my new config was listed successfully, but it hasn't changed in-game, and I still have to use Z etc...
I still use the old 1.1 version of the emulator, where the binds have been changed successfully, for that reason.

*Note* : I tried to solve this problem modifying the psx.ini file but it didn't work.

EDIT : I managed to get through this, simply by overwriting the v1.6 ini file with my v1.1 ini file. Guess I had edited it in a wrong way...

sniper,

your solution is to assign the button to Z (which is displayed as Z, but later interpreted as Y) if you want to use Y in the game. This is what I was reporting: The key setting UI uses a different mapping than the game itself.

You misunderstood me
My solution was to run an older pSX version (i.e. v1.1), save the config you want and then copy the psx.ini file into the v1.7 directory.
