joy = joypad.read(1);
if joy["select"] then
joy["select"] = nil;
joypad.set(1, joy);
end;
Trying to read and write a joypad to "hook" buttons.This sometimes works. It's like the game thinks that the select button is constantly being pressed ala turbofire... so I can't get it to work at all. Any help is greatly appreciated; the manual isn't helpful either in that it uses "joypad.write" (when it's joypad.set)joy = joypad.read(1); if joy["select"] then joy["select"] = nil; joypad.set(1, joy); end;
Yes, if it's out of the if block it basically would not take input.
If it's set in the if block, then it only sets every other frame, because the next frame will not have select and will not go into the if block.
joy = joypad.read(1);
if joy["select"] then
gui.popup("Select button pushed");
end;
joy["select"] = nil;
joypad.set(1, joy);
function stuff()
gui.text(8, 8, string.format("%02X", memory.readbyte(0x0026)));
memory.writebyte(0x0026, AND(memory.readbyte(0x0026), 0xFB));
end;
memory.register(0x0026, stuff);

And, needless to say, this game has an awful lot of it.
(For your information, the lag counter often sits at 2-3, when nothing else except Bugs is active. It's very, very poorly coded...)Or you can assign a key to FCEUX's built in lag detector :) (I only stumbled upon that recently -- this emulator keeps surprising me!)
You will ALWAYS get the original userinput (keyboard) when doing joypad.read(x), never Lua.

endActually, it'd be nice to write a pinballbot (for pinbot! ;)) and just watch it play, something for you Xkeeper? :p
