Thanks for the info on the chatboard, it's really appreciated.
I was at work earlier (12.5hr shift, and missed the match), when I saw your reply, and can happily paste my config below, now that I am home:
# Castaway / GP32

Thank you for the pointer earlier. I am almost there, I wished to re configure the select button too, and remove the frameskip, so I could have a keyboard toggle instead. Alas it seems fixed like the start button.
As it is, I select the "named" config file on booting up Castaway, then the "game" file, and "Start" button to load. Then on loading press "Start" again, to select "Custom Input", and I am away. The only sticky point is to use the keyboard I must press the "Start" button, then select "Keyboard Input" (and then re select "Custom Input", when done), but hey it works, and lets me play this game on my GP32 <big-idiot-grin>, oh but will I make it to Elite! (probably not).
I also put the clock speed up a bit (bonus).
Once again you have my grateful thanks, for your help.
PS - yes the national pride is hurt
