Hi Everyone,
I'm a new user of the forum and have tried trawling the net and this board for some info regarding the thread title without gleaning much information. Hopefully, someone can help me in my predicament?
Having owned a C64 mini for a while using it sparingly, I recently took the plunge and ordered what I presumed to be one of the better options for upgrading the bundled joystick to enhance playability.
A year or so ago I watched Madlittlepixel's video on the Speedlink Competition Pro Extra joystick and its compatibility with the C64 mini, noting his confirmation that it could be used with the system and afforded better than basic functionality. After periodic deliberation on whether or not to pull the trigger on a purchase, I received said joystick today and eagerly started using it to access my library of games via USB. Alas, I have since discovered that I cannot use the space bar in the virtual keyboard to start cracked games as there is no mapping (using the latest c64 mini firmware 1.6.x) currently available.
Can anyone suggest a solution or perhaps a workaround?
To be honest, I'm loathed to alter any config files unless absolutely necessary and I unfortunately don't have the requisite level of knowledge regarding cracked game files to know where to look for versions which don't require the spacebar to start.
Can anyone help? Because at this juncture it looks like I've just purchased another joystick which has limited usability.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated - thanks.
