Re: New game! Whack 'Em Smack 'Em Byrons

Hi, the latest version works fine on real hardware (a bit fast for my humble old self...) I personally would prefer to play it with the controller in hand (A=Up, W=Right, D=Down, X=Left) but also works like it is I also would still prefer a joystick driven game, as the membrane keyboard is not the b...

Hi,

@username@ created the CV BIOS Referece, there you can also find the BIOS function for reading joysticks and keyboards...
