There are many other issues, and the backspace is especially noticeable.

There is also a problem with the cursor key. So I'm replacing it with the number key in fsuae. Other than that, there seem to be some bugs.

If you press all four cursor keys at once, you will know the results.
you'll see something weird.

I think the backspace key is the problem. No matter how hard I try key mapping, the symptoms appear.

Is it possible to get rid of the backspace key and replace it with another key? For example, delete key. Again, not with key mapping.

Enter key and space key are mapped, but backspace key is not mapped. It looks like you need to erase backspace key in the game. I want you to fix the enter key and space key, too. Of course, backspace key.

In winuae, the sound of music is fast

developer   note ~14103

I'm starting to look at this and will probably build a new patch.

I can hear that the music plays too fast, so that's on my list.

The actual arrow keys/keyboard controls not working is a bad implementation of keyboard handling. It seems that the game only remembers/registers the last key you pressed - e.g. if you move right then press up to jump, the game forgets you were going right! So my guess it only tracks one key at a time rather than registering individual key down/up events (which is essential if keyboard control is ever going to work). I will know once I examine further.

However from the above it sounds like you're changing the arrow keys to map to a controller anyway. I don't use FS-UAE (only WinUAE) so I can't comment on that specifically. If I find something odd in the game, when all directions are pressed at once, then I'll fix it if I can, but some of this sounds like emulator quirks.

Please leave it with me. There is no need to continually raise bug reports/additional messages now. If I have anything further to report I will let you know.

Have you read my article carefully? Now I want to map "backspace" to a different key, but I can't do it on my own. Please help.

developer   note ~14105

I don't use FS-UAE so I don't know specifically how you map keys in it. I would suggest asking on the EAB forum or Lemon Amiga forum how you map keys. This isn't anything to do with WHDLoad, so this is not the right place for this.

And I also use winuae, but there's a point where the sound is fast.

Whether it's fsuae or winuae, the game itself seems to have a problem.

reporter   note ~14108

There's a problem with the game itself, so it's better to fix it accordingly. And I think it's better to fix the "backspace key" itself on the game itself as well. And please read my comments carefully. It will make sense.

Beta test version of v1.2 now available - see EAB thread here: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=1711903

Hopefully resolves the issues you've been having.

The keyboard controls, as coded, really don't work well in this game - pressing a key cancels out the one you are already holding, so you cannot do things like run right and jump. On real hardware such as A1200, keyboard controls such as this are problematic anyway, so I don't know that it is worth fixing those any further.

You should use a controller (or configure keys mapped to a controller if using an emulator).

There are two versions of the game: "Jump" is a compilation released later with multiple games, including Nicky 2. This version is slightly different from the original. See here: https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/jump

The keyboard controls don't work properly - even if the game is played from disk/ADF. I haven't changed anything with those.

Is the keyboard still unresolved? One tip is that it works well if you use the number key. Maybe because I'm greedy, I want to do it in the number key and also in the arrow key.

developer   note ~14136

The number keys are WinUAE/FS-UAE controller emulation and work fine.

Pressing all four arrow keys will no longer make strange things appear.

Pressing backspace should no longer cause the level to look strange when starting.
