Believe it or not, the control is even worse. Well, I find this one called the Virtual Colecovision. If the analog stick worked better, I wouldn't be complaining, but just try to play Donkey Kong with it and see how far.

Please, somebody help me out! All I want to do is play Montazuma's Revenge, because I saw it on AVGN and it looked really fun! There are no options in the coolcvmapping.txt that correspond to the analog stick (up, down, right, left are mapped to the keyboard arrow keys only in the mapping file) so I am guessing that is hard-coded into the emulator. At least with the Koleko, I can figure out what the controls are! I can't figure out anything about the controls on the Virtual Colecovision! However, I can't get past the first screen because he won't climb down the ladder! I'll stand above the ladder, and I'll press the down key, and NOTHING HAPPENS! Why don't they just let me have full customizing ability on the controls, just like on emulators that are actually GOOD, like Visual Boy Advance or ZSNES! When I play with the keyboard, left and right make sense. I'm used to it being the other way around.īut that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Ok, so that's awkward I'm moving with my right hand, and jumping with my left hand. The directional keys control the movement, and either A or S causes the guy to jump. So, apparently, the keyboard is my only plausible option. He'll even keep moving after he dies and respawns! Even when I take my thumb off the D-Stick, the guy keeps moving. The D-Pad doesn't work, and the D-stick (which I assume is supposed to stand in for the joystick on the actual Colecovision) works, but not very well. Well, when I press the F4 key to switch to the gamepad (yeah, having to press F4 was a pain in the ass to figure out, in and of itself), then the gamepad works.

I'm playing Montazuma's Revenge, and I usually like to use my Xbox 360 gamepad to play emulator games. Neither of them work, and they both suck for the same reason: The controls! One is the Koleko, and the other is the Virtual Colecovision. But when having input via SDL and just moving the controller around, axis 0 reacts weird. To say, axis 8-13 are reserved for different sensors. I've tried out two Colecovision emulators. If it's lying flat on the table, x-axis is working fine, only if i hold in my hands, it reacts weird.
