If you are like me to where you are having trouble getting RetroArch
set up for the blind. Then follow the simple steps below.
I wish that the information on the RetroArch thread and website had
these steps for beginners. With that out of the way let's get started.
First thing that you need to do is go to http://www.ztranslate.net to
set up an free account. Once your account is activate go to settings on
the site.
Go to the heading call quota. Below there you will find your api key.
Remember the key or copy it somewhere. Now go to
http://www.retroarch.com Get RetroArch latest version.
Once you have RetroArch on your computer open the program. Turn off
your screen reader.
The best thing is to turn off your screen reader before opening the
program. Now that you are in the program press the right arrow once.
Then press the up arrow seven times and then press the enter key twice.
You should hear the built in screen reader. As you can tell you control
the program with the keyboard.
Now after you have adjusted the screen reader settings press the
backspace key to return to the previous menu. Go to the api option.
In the api url you need to put in the following url with your api key.
http://www.ztranslate.net/service?api_key=your-api-key The part of that
url where it says your-api-key is where your ten character key goes.
Make sure that you put the letters in your key as capital letters.
Once you have put the url in press enter. Set the rest of the api
options to your liking.
Return to the previous menu and go to input. In the input menu go to
hot keys bines. Then go to api.
Press enter then press the key that you want to be your api key. I
selected the tab key so that I didn't have to reorange keys.
Now return to the previous menu. Go to controller port 1 bines.
If you are using a Xbox controller then the controller is set up.
Unless you want to change the buttons layout.
If you are going to change the buttons layout then scroll down to see
what buttons will appear in the button config option. Once you have
looked over go up to the config all and press the button on your
controller that you want for the different keys. This part is not read
out by the screen reader.
You have five seconds to pick your button. Once you have done all of
this return to the main menu. Now you are ready to go.
If you have any questions feel free to ask. Enjoy playing some video games.
