- Short: Joystick support for Macintosh emulators
- Author: fdoro@gpnet.it (Francesco Doro)
- Uploader: fdoro@gpnet.it (Francesco Doro)
- Type: misc/emu
- Replaces: misc/emu/MacJoy11.lha
-
- MacJoy is mainly a joystick support for the Macintosh emulators Shape
- Shifter and Emplant (probably also A-Max IV but I couldn't test it). Since
- there are a lot of Mac games that work well with these emulators, you may
- want to play them using your usual Amiga joystick.
-
- All Mac games give at least keyboard support; MacJoy remaps gameport
- events to keyboard events so that moving joystick is the same as pressing
- keys. Try it and you'll see that playing a Mac game is exactly as playing
- an Amiga game with real joystick support.
-
- In this archive you find two small utilities, MacJoy and MacJoyPad.
- MacJoy handles only joystick and uses gameport.device. MacJoyPad handles
- both joystick and the CD32 joypad but requires lowlevel.library, not
- included.
-
- These utilities probably can be useful also for some Amiga applications
- or other emulators, they work for every application that uses the Amiga OS.
- I did everything possible to make them compatible and OS friendly; I have
- not used any hack or illegal patch.
