How to put the input gamepad image in the gens? Like in this video: Link to video

I think it's very possible to do it in the Gens emulator. The emulator can run lua code and I think it can read the buttons pressed. Then I think you just need to paint some image of a joytick sega genesys and paint the color on the buttons that are pressed. I think I could take a look.

Some Zamasu's quotes: - When I was invited to this place, I thought you would teach me about justice. However, does the justice of the gods not only pass by to observe? - Every time I am attacked, I enjoy my immortality.

Really ? I would be grateful, as I do not understand anything about Lua script, but I love these controller inputs on the screen.

I created a prototype with the buttons: up, down, left, right, A, B and C.

require "gd"

joysimg = gd.createFromPng("segajoystick.png"):gdStr()
joysw = 120
joysh = 64

transp = {0,0,0,0}
btnpress = {0,0,255,244}

gui.circle = function (x, y, r, fill, border)
	fill = fill or {0,0,0,0}
	-- Fill
	for xr = -r, r do
		yr = math.sqrt(r*r - xr*xr)
		gui.line (x+xr, y-yr, x+xr, y+yr, fill)
	end

	-- Border
	border = border or fill
	yd = 0;
	for xr = -r, r do
		yr = math.sqrt(r*r - xr*xr)
		gui.line (x+xr, y-yr, x+xr, y-yd, border)
		gui.line (x+xr, y+yr, x+xr, y+yd, border)
		--if (math.abs((y-yd) - (y-yr)) > 1) then
		--	gui.line (x+xr, y-yr, x+xr, y-yd-1, border)
		--	gui.line (x+xr, y+yr, x+xr, y+yd+1, border)
		--else
		--	gui.pixel (x+xr, y-yr, border)
		--	gui.pixel (x+xr, y+yr, border)
		--end
		yd = yr;
	end
end

gens.registerafter(function()
	gui.gdoverlay(10, 223-joysh-10, joysimg, 0.9)

	local buttons = joypad.get(1);
	if buttons.left then gui.box (10+15, 223-joysh+21, 10+23, 223-joysh+28, btnpress, 'white') end
	if buttons.right then gui.box (10+29, 223-joysh+22, 10+37, 223-joysh+29, btnpress, 'white') end
	if buttons.up then gui.box (10+23, 223-joysh+14, 10+30, 223-joysh+21, btnpress, 'white') end
	if buttons.down then gui.box (10+22, 223-joysh+27, 10+29, 223-joysh+35, btnpress, 'white') end

	if buttons.A then gui.circle (10+81, 223-joysh+34, 5, btnpress, 'white') end
	if buttons.B then gui.circle (10+93, 223-joysh+28, 5, btnpress, 'white') end
	if buttons.C then gui.circle (10+107, 223-joysh+23, 5, btnpress, 'white') end

end)

This script require "gd" library that gens emulator have in gens-lua.html an explanation to how to install. I use this joystick image, download it to run the script correctly and move it to gens emulator executable directory.

Just is a test script, can be better

Movable, more buttons. Download pad.lua

Language: lua
require "gd"

joysimg  = gd.createFromPng("segajoystick.png"):gdStr()
joysw    = 120 
joysh    = 64 
joyx     = 2
joyx     = 2
joyy     = 170
transp   = {0,0,0,0}
btnpress = {0,0,255,244}

gui.circle = function (x, y, r, fill, border)
	fill = fill or {0,0,0,0}
	-- Fill
	for xr = -r, r do
		yr = math.sqrt(r*r - xr*xr)
		gui.line (x+xr, y-yr, x+xr, y+yr, fill)
	end
	
	-- Border
	border = border or fill
	yd = 0
	for xr = -r, r do
		yr = math.sqrt(r*r - xr*xr)
		gui.line (x+xr, y-yr, x+xr, y-yd, border)
		gui.line (x+xr, y+yr, x+xr, y+yd, border)
		--[[--
		if (math.abs((y-yd) - (y-yr)) > 1) then
			gui.line (x+xr, y-yr, x+xr, y-yd-1, border)
			gui.line (x+xr, y+yr, x+xr, y+yd+1, border)
		else
			gui.pixel (x+xr, y-yr, border)
			gui.pixel (x+xr, y+yr, border)
		end
		--]]--
		yd = yr;
	end
end

gens.registerafter(function()
	keys = input.get()
	
	if keys["leftclick"] then 
		joyx = keys.xmouse - joysw/2
		joyy = keys.ymouse - joysh/2
	end 
	
	gui.gdoverlay(joyx, joyy-10, joysimg, 0.9)
	local buttons = joypad.get(1)
	
	if buttons.up    then gui.box (joyx+22, joyy+14, joyx+29, joyy+21, btnpress, 'white') end
	if buttons.down  then gui.box (joyx+22, joyy+28, joyx+29, joyy+35, btnpress, 'white') end
	if buttons.left  then gui.box (joyx+15, joyy+21, joyx+22, joyy+28, btnpress, 'white') end
	if buttons.right then gui.box (joyx+29, joyy+21, joyx+36, joyy+28, btnpress, 'white') end	
	if buttons.start then gui.box (joyx+55, joyy+19, joyx+64, joyy+23, btnpress, 'white') end
	
	if buttons.A then gui.circle (joyx+ 81, joyy+34, 5, btnpress, 'white') end
	if buttons.B then gui.circle (joyx+ 93, joyy+28, 5, btnpress, 'white') end
	if buttons.C then gui.circle (joyx+107, joyy+23, 5, btnpress, 'white') end	
	if buttons.X then gui.circle (joyx+ 78, joyy+20, 3, btnpress, 'white') end
	if buttons.Y then gui.circle (joyx+ 88, joyy+15, 3, btnpress, 'white') end
	if buttons.Z then gui.circle (joyx+ 99, joyy+10, 3, btnpress, 'white') end
end)

Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

Nice, you can do with that picture:http://genox6.deviantart.com/art/Mega-Drive-Genesis-2-6-Button-Controller-Vector-661885102 Can you put the joystick on the black screen?

subzero13, you are graphic designer? Because that image is great, but it would be better if its size is 120x64, I try to resize it and it lose much the textual detail. EDIT:

That is not possible because the black screen is not part of the drawing element of the emulator, even thanks to the feos's script when i moving the joystick toward the black part is lost. Or well, I do not know if someone more experienced of the site knew something about it.

Just put gui.box(0,0,320,224,"black","black") before gui.gdoverlay().
