mess emulator intellivision for dc

can some1 map the controls for the intellivision mess emulator to map identical to the dc keyboard numpad?
this would make the emulator easier to use when playing intellivision games.
let me know.
it would be cool to see mess run other systems too.

Can do that right now but would have to every time you boot it..
Code:
B - change directory
Up - Up
Down Down
.. - change to parent directory
In game, simulated keypad...
Code:
1 = LT+X
2 = LT+Y
3 = LT+B
4 = LT+A
5 = RT+X
6 = RT+Y
7 = RT+B
8 = RT+A
9 = RT+X
10 = RT+Y
DEL = RT+B
ENTER = START
Can remap any key at all going into the mess menu when in game..
I can build a lot of them many of them are too slow or useless
I did 7800 lynx vectrex amstrad sms etc etc..

is there a way i could hard code it to load default?
would i need the source and know howto code?
or is there a cfg file i could edit? or?

Never tested the cfg file if it reads or works at the time it was burn every cdr to even test when coding.. lol
People did not want keyboard at all in 2003 that's why the controls above which was asked for lol..
Code to compile is massive task and it uses perl as well kos1.1.9 my old toolchain only hacked newlib..
The dump of all this and more is on my discord .. I did compile it not long ago just to try add voice module
talking but it did not work..
Here is new build if you want to test it//
have to make a cfg folder put the cfg txt file in that
this build has all dir enabled got follow normal mess file names from 2003

so you ported it?
i dig it.
do you think i could figure out howto map the numpad somehow?
i've never messed with kos, or perl.
it would be great if there was a section in the code that i could just modify its current keyconfig and use dc numpad instead.
is it possible this stuff could be viewed in hex of the actual iso and i could just change the keyconfig?
or add .cfg file to load default?
maybe?
idk?
what do you think?

I posted about it follows exact pc mess of that time..

thank you.
will the cfg file basically follow a cfg file used on the pc version of mess emulator?
maybe find a version from 2003 and use similar cfg format?

It would yes if it works it's fully ported..I never tested it but all the code is in it to do so..

ok so in hex it shows the mapped controls.
what would dc keyboard numpad look like.
is it like what the pc keyboard would look like in cfg for pc version?
hope im not asking too many damn questions??
