Hello all,
Curious if anyone can help me. If I launch Deadstorm Pirates SE (the arcade game) in RPCS3 with the default configuration (no custom gamepad configuration), I can't figure out how to enter the SERVICE Menu (to alter things like game difficulty, free play, etc.). However, if I create a Custom Gamepad Configuration, and change the handler to XInput, I can access the SERVICE Menu by pressing the "Select" button on my XBox controller. However, I want to avoid launching it using a gamepad config because ultimately I want my arcade cabinet (which sends keyboard keypresses) to be used to do things like add coin, start P1, start P2, etc.
Out of the box, it appears that DSPSE uses the following keys:
'1' - Start P1
'2' - Start P2
'5' - Add coin
I have tried setting up the game using DemulShooter_GUI.exe, and navigating to RPCS3 (System 357), and saving the Deadstorm Pirates SE config with both the default "SERVICE" key of '0' as well as altering that key to something else. I then ran the game, then ran 'DemulShooterX64.exe -target=rpcs3 -rom=deadstorm', but that did not work either.
I did not perform the PPU patch for DSPSE, because from what I understand that is only required when trying to get light guns to work properly with System 357 games (which I do not yet have but will be purchasing soon).
So I guess the question is - is there some way to remap a key to function as the "SERVICE" button?
Can I use AutoHotKey to perform a remapping, and if so, what would be the 'Send, ???' command to do it?
I have already gotten my AutoHotKey script to allow the arcade trackball or the arcade spinner to work as the "Ship's Wheel" in the game, so this SERVICE issue is the last thing I need to solve (until my light guns arrive and I have a whole new set of problem, most likely). Ultimately it won't be a complete show-stopper because I can just set up the options in the SERVICE menu using the gamepad config, and then just delete the gamepad config to allow it to run with the normal keyboard as input, but I'd certainly like to have an easier way to enter the SERVICE menu once the game is available for play on my arcade cabinet.
Thanks to all for reading and to anyone who has any advice or ideas!
