- Every single in-game command is fully customizable on any of the
four joypad controllers.
- Map any emulator or UI command to a single button or a combination of
two buttons. (e.g. RTrigger+LTrigger = Save State)
- Autofire capabilities for any emulator button on any controller
- One-button combos (define a series of emulator commands to be played
back when you press a user-definable XBox controller combination.)
(E.g. Press RTrigger+LTrigger to execute the command string
A,B,A,B,Up,Down,Left,Right)
- Traverse any directory on any drive ( Continue selecting the parent
directory entry on the file selection list to get the drive selection
list. Selectable drives are C, D, E, F, R, X, Y, Z, and SMB.
R is the CDROM drive. SMB is the samba share you have defined in your
BLISSX.ini file.) Press Y from any file-listing screen to go up one
directory level.
- All UI commands (save state, load state, screenshot, etc) can be
invoked from the Options/Pause menu as well as in-game via your
customized joypad mappings.
- Can be invoked from a command-line to directly run a game from a front-end
or dashboard and bypass the user-selection screens. (Only if the frontend
or dashboard supports this feature.)
- Can return to the launching program *if* the launching program supports this
feature. For example, if the custom-launch routines are incorporated into
a new frontend, that frontend could launch BLISSX and when you exit
BLISSX, that frontend can be automatically reloaded.
Various Important Notes:
Default ROM dir is D:INTVROMS
Leave these files in this directory:
D:intvromsexec.bin
D:intvromsgrom.bin
D:intvromsecs.bin
D:intvromsivoice.bin

I still want to see a Dreamcast emulator. Is there even one for the PC? Anyway, make that happen - then you can be God.

I've never had this trouble with any of the other emulators. What am I doing wrong?

I do have one fairly major issue with the new version however. In version 1, the way the right thumbstick was used to mimic the number keys on the Intellivision controller worked great, and was a perfect fit for a lot of games which used the number keys to aim in different directions. In version 2 however, due to the new way controls are handled, it's impossible to set up the controls in the same way. Doing so causes button conflicts every time you try to hit an angle on the thumbstick, since you're effectively hitting 3 number buttons at once.
Without having the version 1 controls, I find the emulator to be almost unplayable due to the convoluted controls you're forced to use. Considering this is one of my favorite emulators, this kind of sucks. Is there any chance that in the next version you can implement an option to revert back to version 1 controls? Or even better modify the controller configuration in such a way to get around this problem? If you found a way to do this you would be my hero. (even more then you already are for making all these great emulators)

For one thing, you probably haven't read the instructions/TXT file included with the package.
Meepie - I'll look into it, but in the meantime, you could try something like :
1 = RTHUMB-UP + RTHUMB-LEFT
2 = RTHUMB-UP + LEFT-TRIGGER
3 = RTHUMB-UP + RTHUMB-RIGHT
4 = RTHUMB-LEFT + LEFT-TRIGGER
...etc...
That way you won't have any overlapping and it just requires a little extra manual dexterity when using the left-trigger button.
