#PC KEYBOARD EMULATOR FOR MAC PATCH#
The patch won't be ready for couple of weeks as I'm off on holiday next week, but hopefully it will be ready shortly after I return. I'm weird like that: I use a normal "PC" keyboard layout when I'm in Windows, even if it's in a virtual machine running in OS X. I've currently got it working so the keys are in the same layout as a normal RISC PC/Acorn keyboard, so the backslash key is to the left of "Z", not to the left of "ENTER". The patch adds a couple of new files and modifies a few others. You can get most of the information you need from other fields of the key event from QT and from another event that RPCEmu ignores on Macs, and the only key I've found that needs special treatment is Caps Lock (mainly because you don't get a "key up" event for some reason).īefore I submit a patch to RPCEmu's mailing list, would anyone be interested in doing some beta testing? It works fine on my 2017 iMac with a normal Apple keyboard and I'll probably give it a whirl on my MacBook too, but I don't have any other hardware available to use. Fortunately there are no changes required to QT, just to RPCEmu. It's been a process involving a large amount of guesswork, but I think I finally have it working. As with most RPCEmu releases, I eagerly compiled it on my Mac, only to find that the keyboard doesn't work! It seems that when you get keyboard events from QT on the Mac, you don't get a scan code, which is what RPCEmu uses to map keypresses to PS/2 codes for RISC OS to process.įor the last couple of weeks, I've been playing around trying to get the keyboard working. That’s good for any games requiring first-person aiming.Not so long ago, a new version of RPCEmu (0.9.0) was released, featuring a new (and much improved) QT front end. The joysticks also work well when mapped to the mouse, which brings back some analog control. Mapping a joystick to WASD or arrow keys turn it from an analog input to a digital one, which can be less responsive, but you can configure the dead zones and other settings by clicking on the “L Stick” button in the middle. If you press the buttons on your controller, it should light up the button in AntiMicro, so you won’t have to worry about figuring out which one “Button 14” is.
You can click any of these to set a mapping to any keyboard key, or the mouse. So long as your controller is connected, you’ll see this screen laying out all the sticks and buttons.

It also works on Linux as well.ĭownload the latest release from Github (or the portable version if you don’t want to install it) and open it up.
There are a couple of good commercial options out there, most notably reWASD, but AntiMicro is free, open source, and does its job just as well.

On macOS, you can usually find USB controllers in the “System Information” app, under “USB.” Bluetooth controllers should show up in the Bluetooth menu in the top menubar.
