- Keyboard to joypad emulation
- ----------------------------
-
- If your emulation software has keyboard to CD32 joypad emulation and you
- don't turn it off, you'll find that key presses generate different joypad
- buttons, which in turn controls DCPlayer (eg. RETURN button causes it to
- pause).

- CD32 emulation
- --------------
-
- Some of the emulation software kicking around is a shambles to be honest, so
- you may well have problems with a couple of things. I can only say that I've
- followed the guidelines, so if it doesn't work it's the emulation software's
- fault. Please feel free to vent your spleen at the author of your particular
- emulation software.
-
- There's an EMULATION option which can get rid of problems with most kinds of
- CD32 emulation by disabling features or using different commands to control
- the CD. The option is built up out of a set of letters - each letter changes
- a different feature. To use it, find out what goes wrong, string some letters
- together, and put them in the EMULATION option.
-
- - E
- Eject. Disables the eject button - use if DCPlayer reckons that the CD has
- been ejected and stops playing the CD when in actual fact it hasn't.
-
- - P
- Pause. Use if the CD starts up playing again in pause mode when you skip
- tracks - this'll fix the problem.
-
- - S
- Search. Replaces the forward and reverse search commands with a cunning set
- of seek commands, so that drives that can't search can. The bad point about
- this is that you can't hear music as it searches.
-
-
- Ok, so what's that in English?
