Hi, I have problems with the command JoyDir, it seems I can't register any joystick directions at all, it always returns 8??

I'm running Hollywood 4.5 and OS3.x in WinUAE, both joystick ports seems to work when I try some games though, but not in my code below... Do you see anything wrong in it?

Code: Select all

debugPrint("Joy start.")
Function p_CheckJoy()
	p_MyState0 = JoyDir(0)
	p_MyState1 = JoyDir(1)
	
	DebugPrint(p_MyState0, p_MyState1)
EndFunction

SetInterval(1, p_CheckJoy, 40)
Repeat
	WaitEvent
Forever
End()

Can someone test that code snippet please, does it work for you?

Seems to be a WinUAE problem. I tried it here and get the same result, but it occurs because lowlevel.library doesn't seem to get emulated correctly. On WinUAE, lowlevel's ReadJoyPort() returns JP_TYPE_UNKNOWN... that's why Hollywood fails.

Oh, ok thanx. I guess there's no easy/quick fix :/

Sounds like something you need to report to Tony Wilen in hopes of getting it fixed.

He hangs at least in Amigaworld.net forum with username TonyW, so you can send him for example PM about this in there. I guess theres hes email somewhere in WINUAE foundable too.
