I recently got an F200 and being able to play all my favourite point n' click adventures on ScummVM has been fantastic - especially with the touchscreen support on v0.11.0
I noticed that Future Wars was supported and so I dug out my old amiga version (which still had the manual and overlay amazingly) and did the necessary to get it working - so far so good. I had a look at the compatibility list on the wiki and noticed that due to a bug, stick-click + X is required to get into the save/load menu. Is there a similar workaround for the F200 that anyone knows about that will allow me to save? I tried to press all 4 directional buttons at once - but that had no effect....
Thanks again for the great work - please keep it up!

Hmmm,
I don't have an F200 but I will have a look and see what I can do about this.

If a Joy Click its neccesary, you can not do this on a F200 since there are no way to emulate this "joy Click"
pressing 4 buttons at a time its just a fake legend.

Agreed, there is no code in the F200's codebase that can generate a stick click (all the buttons are GPIO anyway). I guess I will fake it with some dirty F200 hack to the code .

Erm - this is interesting - but I think I've answered my own question
On an F200 - if you press A + B + X + Y together - it brings up the save/load menu! I'm not sure why that is - but it begs the question if that is just a Future Wars specific bug on Scummvm or if that emulates a stick-click on other Apps.
Still - DJWillis - you might want to list this workaround in your documentation....

Well, in the original you needed to press the left and right mouse buttons simultaneously to pop up the save menu...
