Could anyone here help me with getting MZXsvn for PSP to run properly?

It runs perfectly on my psp, but I'm using the zzt2mzx converter (also works perfectly) but the problem is that I can't figure how to configure a control on my PSP to simulate a "T" keystroke (for torches of course).

Advice or a fixed config.txt would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if you already know or not, but MZX allows keypresses to be simulated with joystick presses via config.txt (which also allows including other config files). There should be pad config file for PSP somewhere, that shows how to set it up. Let me know if you have that and we can go from there. Look around for all the .txt's included.

i do have it, but i still dont know how..

I don't know exactly how this corresponds to the PSP layout, since I'm not PSP guy. If someone has this specific config file, I could probably explain it, but barring that you may just have to experiment.

The first thing you want to look at is this thread, specifically the big keyboard image posted at the bottom. This is your handy reference for all things key-code related. Gamepad and joystick mappings use the key_pressed value, which is the lower value on each key. So for example, LEFT is 276, T is 116, etc.

Second, open up your config file. If it HAS instructions about what setting corresponds to which PSP button, so much the better. You can find the setting for Square, say, and set it to 116, and now square is the T key. If not, then judging from the default config file what you want to do is something like this.

Config settings for gamepad controls are of the form "joyXaxisY = A, B" and "joyXbuttonY = A". X is a number defining which controller input you're talking about (almost certainly 1 in this case), Y is the number of the button or the access, and A and B are corresponding key codes. So, count all of the buttons on the PSP controller (D-Pad = two axes, thumbstick = two axes, and 8 buttons I think, I don't actually own one of the things), and write an entry in order for each, going across the keyboard. That is, joy1button1 = 49 (1 key), joy1button2 = 50 (2 key), etc. I'd recommend mapping the axes to up/down/left/right and WASD, as follows: joy1axis1 = 276,275; joy1axis2 = 273,274; joy1axis3 = 97,100; joy1axis4 = 119,115.

Then, write a quick little MZX world to test all this. Stick a robot with the following code on an empty board:

: "loop"
cycle 1
goto "key_&key_pressed&"
goto "loop"
: "key_49"
* "~fButton 1 pressed"
goto "loop"
: "key_50"
* "~fButton 2 pressed"
goto "loop"
: "key_51"
* "~fButton 3 pressed"
goto "loop"
: "key_52"
* "~fButton 4 pressed"
goto "loop"
: "key_53"
* "~fButton 5 pressed"
goto "loop"
: "key_54"
* "~fButton 6 pressed"
goto "loop"
: "key_55"
* "~fButton 7 pressed"
goto "loop"
: "key_56"
* "~fButton 8 pressed"
goto "loop"
: "key_57"
* "~fButton 9 pressed"
goto "loop"
: "key_58"
* "~fButton 10 pressed"
goto "loop"
: "key_276"
* "~fAxis 1A pressed"
goto "loop"
: "key_275"
* "~fAxis 1B pressed"
goto "loop"
: "key_273"
* "~fAxis 2A pressed"
goto "loop"
: "key_274"
* "~fAxis 2B pressed"
goto "loop"
: "key_97"
* "~fAxis 3A pressed"
goto "loop"
: "key_100"
* "~fAxis 3B pressed"
goto "loop"
: "key_119"
* "~fAxis 4A pressed"
goto "loop"
: "key_115"
* "~fAxis 4B pressed"
goto "loop"

Once loaded onto your PSP, this should allow you to determine which button corresponds to which number, whether the D-pad and analog stick correspond to the same thing or not, and which directions are up and down/left and right, and so on.

And if it doesn't work, blame Exophase, I think this was his system to begin with.

If you get a recent snapshot from http://mzx.devzero.co.uk/snapshots/ the keycodes file should be present in docs.

Which SVN version are you using? Somebody reported palette problems on PSP Slim, I wonder you're seeing the same thing?
