Loving the game so far Sarah!

Is there anyway to re-map the 'menu' button to the space bar? I'm using a 2 button joystick which uses space as the secondary fire button. Thanks :)

Which Joystick model do you have?

Hold down fire button for 1 sec. to enter/back game menu.(regular Joy for Atari/C64, with 1 fire button. They may have more fire buttons, but they are all connected to one pin number 6 )

BTW
diagram for proper 3x Button Joy C64GS:

It's a custom version which uses Port 1 fire (space) as a second button.

Thanks for the diagram but that doesn't help me. I know you can hold down button 1 but that feels quite fussy when I have a second button there to potentially use. Cheers.

I see. OKAY.

I can only advise this:

-plug the second FIRE to pin no.2 (direction DOWN in Joy port 1)(disconnect from pin No.6)

-in the game, set the menu to be under the [<-] key (arrow pointing left)

the downward direction (activated with the second Joy button) on Joy port 1 will open and close the menu
xD

Ps
I assumed that you made this custom Joystick yourself.

I can add that, it's not a problem.

If you hit F1 to toggle to the alternate keyboard set, you'll be able to use a 2nd joystick button that's wired to press spacebar.
