  • Click with the left mouse button to map a controller to a MaLa function.

The color changes to grey, in order to show that an input is expected.
Move a joystick or press a button on your control panel:

  • The Shift' key works like the Shift key of your computers keyboard.

All shifted keys are represented in blue and will work only in combination with the 'Shift' key.

  • To set a shifted key-click into an edit field and press the 'Shift' key + another one.

The settings from the picture above will work in the following way:
The left/right arrow keys will trigger a movement of 1 step in the game list.
'Strg' + left/right arrow will trigger a faster movement.

This is the MaLa default controller mapping which works out of the box with the jamma standard.
