Johnny T Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Hi all, I'd love to re-live some of my glory days on the Speccy and the Atari ST. I've got Android LB on my Nvidia Shield and it's working fine. I've managed to set up some non-keyboard Speccy games (i.e. using Retroarch and using the on-screen keyboard for selecting the joystick etc). I did buy a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard for the Nvidia Shield but, although it seemed to work on the device for navigating the Shield menus etc, it wouldn't control anything in the games? Does anyone know how to get this to work (either a specific type of keyboard or a setting on LB etc)? I would love to get some keyboard only games working on the Shield. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help. https://docs.libretro.com/library/fuse/#controllers-usage Scroll lock on computer systems in retroarch should lock/unlock the keyboard to the emulator (as retroarch itself uses the keyboard for a lot of functions by default). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that Neil. Although that didn't work with the last bluetooth keyboard I had from Amazon so I wondered if anyone can confirm this does work and also works with LB Android on a Shield - and, if so, what keyboard it works with.

Thanks for your help I dont emulate on android so i cant say for sure, i will say though that this is nothing to do with Launchbox itself. Launchbox would only care in the Launchbox UI, once you are in a game it's up to the emulator what peripherals are supported. Maybe try a different emulator, one that isnt going through Retroarch's input layers? https://play.google.com/store/search?q=ZX Spectrum&c=apps&hl=en&gl=US 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
