    Default New to emulation

    Hello,
    I recently downloaded and unzipped Populous using ZSNESW151. The game loads fine but I cant get the keyboard to do anything except the arrow keys... Havent played since I was 6 and would very much appreciate any help!

    Once the emulator is open, before you start the game, you have to set up your controls. Or at least open CONFIG > INPUT and see what the controls are.


    Be afraid. Be very afraid.

    Did that and none of the keys work. I can turn on the mouse with the enter key...

    When you go to Config > Input it should open a window labelled INPUT DEVICE, with tabs #1-#5. Under #1 it should say DEVICE: with a small menu under it saying
    Download Links:
    Links are hidden from guests. Please register to be able to view these links. Click on KEYBOARD/GAMEPAD and then just to the right click SET.
    Then click SET KEYS and you will get pop-ups prompting you to set each key.

    How you get the mouse on screen by pressing enter, I have no idea. On my ZSNES I press Esc to get back to menus, which is the only way for me to see the mouse since I haven't enabled it in CONFIG > DEVICES.
