Model 3-Vulkan v0.9.8.6 is released. A Vulkan-focused fork of Supermodel, the open-source Sega Model 3 arcade emulator.
Model 3-Vulkan Changelog:
Model 3-Vulkan v0.9.8.6 makes every hotkey configurable from the INI file, fixes input handling for mice, standalone shifters and button boxes, and adds a one-click automatic launch.
🎮 Input
Hotkeys in the INI — every in-game hotkey is an InputUI... entry (InputUIExit, InputUISaveState, InputUIToggleOverlay, ...), so a front end such as RetroBat or a cabinet build can assign its own buttons. Chords use the normal binding syntax, e.g. JOY1_BUTTON7+JOY1_BUTTON8. The Controls page still neither lists nor rewrites these keys, so editing the interface - or pressing Apply recommended bindings - never clobbers what a front end wrote; a key left out keeps the built-in default and NONE disables one. The two-line patch was proposed by Tartifless over at RetroBat (RetroBat-Official/emulatorlauncher#1456) and is included as-is.
Binding a mouse axis works again — a full-axis capture compared the pointer against the display centre and could keep both X and Y, producing MOUSE_XAXIS+MOUSE_YAXIS, which the input system rejects as an invalid combination; the capture then silently failed. Only the dominant axis (the larger displacement) is captured now, and a capture in progress no longer appends a second axis when the pointer or a resting pedal crosses the centre, so a full-axis binding always ends up as exactly one source.
Standalone shifters, handbrakes and >16-button devices work in the default input mode — with sdlgamepad selected, SDL3 devices that do not identify as game controllers used to be skipped, so a MOZA H-shifter or a handbrake could not be bound at all. They are opened alongside the controllers now, BUTTON17 and up are readable on any device, and standard pads keep exactly the button numbering they had.
The control-preset combo stays on what you picked — selecting "Keyboard only" was replaced on the next frame by the value still in the INI.
🖥️ Interface
Auto-Launch on Startup — right-click a row in the game list and choose it to start that game automatically the next time the program opens. The row is marked with ★; Clear Auto-Launch on the same row undoes it. It fires once per run, so pressing Esc returns to the list rather than restarting the game, and starting with a ROM set on the command line is unaffected because that path never opens the list. Three rough edges found while testing that path are fixed too: the key no longer shows up as a stray untranslated text box on the Core page, launching straight into a starred game no longer flashes the settings window, and the menu entry is greyed out for sets that cannot start instead of silently doing nothing.
