Doesn't the HTML file of the Keyboard Lay-out specify pre-defined keys?
Kind regards,

It's at the same place as on the real hardware: the key top left, next to the number 1 key. At my US keyboard it's the key to generate the symbols ~ and `.

So, let's say someone has read the documentation provided (really), and as far as they can tell they've set up the keyboard controls but STILL can't get anything to move. Are there any other suggestions? I'd really rather not have to buy a joystick . . . . :cry:

Erm... If all else fails, and something screwed-up somewhere, delete the C64.CFG file, and set-up your settings all again...

You must make sure that a key is not mapped to multiple C64 actions. It is a case of playing-around with the settings in the Input... sub-menu in CCS64.

Also, which type of keyboard are you using? Some of them need special key-mapping settings (e.g. Microsoft keyboards), and some others (e.g. foreign keyboards) have some characters 'switched'.
Kind regards,

i'm using my laptop. It's a gateway, so would that qualify as a microsoft keyboard?

I wouldn't know, probably not. It might have all sorts of weird funky functionality, so it might need special key-mapping. Please e-mail Hakan witth your request, along with details of the exact type of keyboard/laptop you are using...

Hello
I'm using my laptop (HP) and keyboard doesn't work at all.
How can I configure to make it work?
I don't really understand the configuration issues
