### Control Options

#### KEYBOARD DIRECT INPUT

Enables the core to have direct access to keyboard inputs by disabling RetroArch shortcuts bound to certain keys.

This is necessary when you play with your keyboard.

#### INPUT HACK

**DUAL STICK** option: player 2 pad will control right stick of player 1 pad, this is required for few cooperation games.

&#x20;**SWAP PORTS** option: will fix gamepad ports inversion in the game "Wizard of Wor".

#### ATARI800 core specifics

Libretro atari800 core allows you to select between the following control options:

* ATARI JOYSTICK
* ATARI KEYBOARD
