Re: Amstrad CPC emulator for Maemo
 
Thanks a lot! I've been waiting for this!

I've found a few issues related to keyboard mapping with my spanish N900. I have also noticed that joystick events mapped to keys actually produce the joystick event and the key pressed, which can be a problem if your mapped joystick uses a key from the loaded game.

The only feature I miss is support for CPC Plus.

Thanks again.

One more issue, I've found that Auto Launch doesn't work with CPM games, I was unable to find a way to type the | key needed for command |cpm.

This is maemo caching an application screenshot for window opening/closing eye candy.
If that bothers you, just open a terminal and execute:

rm /home/user/.cache/launch/com.jcq.cpcm.startup.pvr

Another useful feature would be support for zipped disks.

rpgAmazon 2010-04-10 09:07

Re: Amstrad CPC emulator for Maemo
 
I was testing Tornado Low Level... "ooooh, scroll is crappy, the old CPC did it so much better". Then I remembered that TLL's "smooth" scrolling only goes on when fliying at high altitude!
And yes! The emulator does it very well (with standard 50fps vs 60fps issue).

BUT: Antiriad plays well, the on-screen-change from mode0 to mode1 panel works, but the panel don't show score-energy-lives info!

ivgalvez 2010-04-13 12:26

Re: Amstrad CPC emulator for Maemo
 
Are you thinking about adding support for CPC with spanish keyboard or the 472 models?

Let me check that, but I think it's just a matter of finding the right firmware...

It won't until you get the armor...

And what about CPC Plus? Do you have any plans about it?

Thanks and keep rocking!

No plans yet, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort due to their low popularity and the small amount of software specific for them.
We'll see...

I know what you mean......BUT it would be worth it just for one game....

Has anyone else seen the emulator spontaneously stop and return to the main CPCm menu after a few minutes of play?

Sorry skalogre, I don't read your last post... yes, that's, only uncheck it.

New update released.

Keybard layout revamped, hopefully much more intuitive now. Better support for international keyboards.

Come on guys, CPCm needs your votes.

Don't let this baby gather dust in extras-testing ;)

Any other projects on the horizon? (apart from your 3D engine)

As I said in the Pico Drive thread, I don't have any legacy maemo device to test in. Best I could offer is a command line only version for Diablo (incompatible UI libs).

None yet. If I have time I might look into porting another emulator. Not sure which one yet. Probably one that doesn't involve porting Direct3D code to OpenGL. It's giving me headache :D

As a future project what do you think of this?

Also discussed over at this thread.

What about a good and fast CPS2/NegoGeo emulator like Final Burn with proper GUI and keymapping for special moves? :D

CPS2EMU is in the need of Hildon frontend.
I even started working on this, but moved to UAE since and it is still waiting for...

It's already ported and works great (I've been playing AD&D: TOD and SOM with great pleasure), but it's hard to use from shell by non-linux folks.
