Load Key Mapping files (KBD)

For given games, the default keyboard mapping between PSP Keys and ZX81 keys, is not suitable, you can write your own mapping file to overcome the issue.

Edit a file with the .kbd extension and put it in the kbd directory. Sample and syntax can be found in the file default.kbd. Keyboard mapping file can be loaded them using the main menu inside the emulator. If the keyboard filename is the same as the program filename, the corresponding keyboard file is automatically loaded (when you run the program).

Use the Keyboard menu to configure, load and save your keyboard mapping files inside the emulator. The Save option save the KBD file in the kbd directory using the Game Name as filename. The game name is displayed on the right corner in the emulator menu.
