Searching my keys of a game..

Hi, I'm new here.

I was searching the keys from my new game to play in the zsnes.

But I don't know where I can find or edit them.

Please, can someone help me?

(I'm meaning the keys to "jump", "dig", etc..)

Have you even looked at the options in the emulator?

Let's see....he hasn't?

What do I win?

PROTIP for the topic starter: Use your eyes, [un]common sense and read the ZSNES Documentation.

I don't think you'd even need to read the documentation. You're looking for configuration? Hey, how about that "config" dropdown menu? It's right there!

I'm at the config, but don't see any boxes where the keys are filled in, or where I can change them. I found one key: x. But there isn't a box saying something about it.

With that out of my system.....have you tried looking at the names of the options in the config menu? There aren't that many choices. Something like, oh, "input" looks nice. And if you're not sure, you can always try clicking, you're not gonna get ill if you click the wrong one.

If Config->Input#1 makes no sense to you, nothing will. Reading is fundamental, and the docs explain this fairly well if you are totally clueless.

I'm just waiting for that special ZSNES build that starts insulting the user's intelligence if s/he just shuffles through the menu headings without doing much else.

I'm sure grinvader can perform this ZSNES voodoo.

I believe I understand his problem:

I was searching the keys from my new game to play in the zsnes.
(I'm meaning the keys to "jump", "dig", etc..)

He doesn not want to configure buttons the SNES had (A,B,X,Y,L,R,Start,Select). also realize he is talking about his new game - only one game.

He is looking for an option like, say, make "Jump" key so and so, "Shoot" so and so, "Slide" so and so, just like modern PC games have.
The problem I believe is to understand the concept of an emulator.

ZSNES is a program that can make your PC play games that were once avaiable on a console called SNES made by Nintendo. Not one game, many games. The controller of the SNES had buttons (A,B,X,Y,L,R,Start,Select) and a control pad. You can select which key on your keyboard corresponds to which SNES-controller button. Then when you start the game, some of them allow you to switch actions bound to SNES-controller buttons around, most however do not.

I really suggest getting a joypad, configuring ZSNES to use it as a controller, then you can play almost like on a real SNES.

All you people have insulted your own intelligence right now

Quite frankly, I don't think we should even bother if the poster can comprehend that a video game console that plays hundreds upon hundreds of different games can't have its controller buttons labeled as "jump", "shoot", "duck", etc.

If he can't understand the console itself, what on earth made him think that he could understand something like an emulator any better?
