Using an On-Screen Keyboard in Zsnes

Post by Falkenheart »

I prefer using Zsnes over SNES9x for many reasons except I can no longer use Zsnes. because I use an on-screen keyboard and it doesn't recognize it, or any input method that I use that requires software, such as the fact that I have to use voice recognition software and Logitech's set point software are not recognized by ZSNES. I'm puzzled as to why he this is. any advice is welcome.

I don't know exactly but it probably has to do with how directinput may differ in some way than the usual input method used by most non-games.

Either way, get a bluetooth controller or something. SNES games with a touch screen? ick.

Snes games with voice recognition input... could work with some games.

If you really cannot use a more classic input method, check if you can bind keyboard input to your program using something similar to Joy2Key (except it's not a joypad as source).
Maybe something in the accessibility options ?

DirectInput represents all bits, not just powers of 2 in an axis.
