Fifteen gamepads and a keyboard in Emu scripts
- smokku
Emu scripts can now press buttons on more than one joystick.
Until now the joy verb reached joystick 1 and nothing else. Anything with more
than two players lives on the USB HID gamepads, and those were fed only by
real SDL devices, so a four-player game was impossible to test headlessly.
Not anymore:
pad 3 right a
run 30
pad 3 off
key "x"
pad <1..15> injects a gamepad report into a slot, analog sticks included.
pad <n> off lets go and hands the slot back to a real device, if any.joy can drive either DE-9 port and names the buttons A, B, X and Y.key types on the keyboard.
Fifteen is not a random number. It is all that fits into the selector nibble
of the HID register window. The status line now shows the merged pad state,
so you can see what the machine sees.
In the browser, gamepads are now read raw, the way the firmware reads them.
Beware the browser’s privacy gate: a page doesn’t see a pad until you press
a button on it.
Also in this batch: a custom X65 mouse cursor, the screensaver is inhibited
while in fullscreen, and AudioWorklet failures are reported as suspended audio
instead of silence.
And shot and crc now capture the frame as displayed, not the raw raster.
