Using Joystick to navigate OSD on minimig

[Palm]

I was wondering why on earth one has to drag along a big PS2 keyboard with the MiniMig just to use it as a OSD navigator. It kinda ruins the gaming feeling of a small A500-in-a-box

Would it be possible to program the core to use the joystick in either of the ports, to navigate the OSD ?

Forgive me if this is already implemented, but I have not found any info regarding this issue yet.

Third Joystick button ? Could you clarify more on this matter ?

BTW Up+Down is a ok solution I think. Most joysticks can be easily modified to use either of their buttons to work as this combination.

I think I like the original up+down trick the best. I have ordered PSX64 adapters to connect PSX controllers to the Amiga, and the PIC on the PSX64 adapter lets me program macros/hotkeys (e.g. UP+DOWN combo) to either of the PSX extra buttons. This will let me use a wireless PSX controlers with the MiniMig PLUS i can have a MENU OSD button on either of the extra PSX controllers buttons. Pretty nice eh ?

(Oh, yes of course..i Bought 2 PSX64 adapteres...)

www.syntheticdesigns.com i think the page was names. He has started to sell them now (Tony Westbrook). THey are like 39  bucks each. Not that bad imho for such a nice retro gadget.
