Atari800MacX Help Preferences Window Controllers Tab |
If the controller moves too slow or too fast, use the Speed of emulated device option. Also, in Full Screen mode, libSDL on the Macintosh does not allow the Mouse to be grabbed. This may cause the emulated device to not be able to reach the full limits of the Atari Screen. To fix this, increase this value. On my system, using Kensington Mouse Works with a fair amount of acceleration, a value of 15 in this field works nicely for full screen.Minimum and Maximum Values
For Paddles, the Atari touch tablet and the Koala Pad you can specify the range of controller values.Horizontal and Vertical Offset
You can calibrate the Light pen and the Light gun using Horz/Vert offsets. You should change these values if the program you're using indicates the pen/gun is in different location than the mouse pointer (right-click to toggle displaying of mouse pointer).Intertia of Emulated Joystick
The Inertia of emulated joystick option is available only for the emulated Joystick. It indicates how far the pointer can move on a single mouse movement. This is because the joystick is a digital device (moved in a certain direction or not), while the mouse is analog and can move in a direction faster or slower. This will set how far you have to move the device to get a digital indication of movement in that direction.Use X-Axis of Joystick/Mouse Emulation for Both Paddles in a Paddle Set
Checking this box allows X-Axis motion on an analog joystick or the mouse emulation to be used for both Paddle 1 and Paddle 2. This overcomes the unusual motion required for the second player to move the joystick or mouse vertically to control a horizontal paddle in games such as Super Breakout. In the unchecked mode, Horizontal (x-axis) motion is tied to paddle 1, and Vertical (y-axis) motion is tied to paddle 2.CX85 Keypad
This area includes a selection to enable or disable the emulation of the CX85 keypad. The CX85 may also be enabled/disabled from the Control Menu. The joystick port the CX85 is plugged into may also be selected here. When enabled, the keys are as follows:
