This is a bit of an annoyance as the physical release is very cool but the Version 1.1 ADF is required for 4 player adapter support. At least they updated it I guess.

No, still defaults to keyboard controls for players 3 and 4! Is there an option or keyboard shortcut I'm missing?

I've tried version 1.2 as well! It is ridiculous that they say this feature is supported when there is no option in the main menu!! They've had two years to fix this or make it clearer!! My 4-player adapter works fine for Xtreme Racing, Blitz Bombers, Pro Tennis Tour 2 etc.

So does the 4-player adapter feature work for you?

I guess it's a case of false advertising then? In reality it means that I have to stand by the keyboard rather than have a joystick trailing to a comfy seat while my kids use cd32 pads as player 1 & 2! What is the keyboard shortcut / settings menu for activating this 'advertised' feature of versions 1.1 and higher? I have never known a program auto-configure the fact a 4-player adapter is present in the parallel port.

I just tried Tanks Furry 1.2 on my A1200 with 4-player adapter, and it just works. I can control players 3 and 4 with both keyboard and joysticks. I didn't make any configuration changes, but just launched the game and selected the "versus mode", and it works just fine with four joysticks.

Yeah, works fine on the other Amiga with different 4-player adapter. Thanks for your help! Weird confliction maybe with the AmigaKit adapter, don't know but at least the game is playable with MD pads / joysticks for players 3 & 4 on this other machine!
