Keyboard support improved 04.12.2009
At last. I have managed to implement configurable keyboard layouts in CPCemu. I think this improvement has deserved a new version number: v1.7 is out now! The Windows setup program is available in the Downloads section. Take it as an early christmas gift if you like. The Linux version is ready, too, but still needs to get compressed. Should be there after the weekend!
But don't expect too much. Indeed, one has more freedom to configure the keyboard than in the DOS version. However, the different usage of SHIFT in different national layouts causes subtle problems sometimes. If you improve cpcemu.dat significantly, please share your changes with me!
One question to French users: How in the world did/do you reach "@" and "\" on a French CPC?
Many small improvements (e. g., correct handling of CPU register R, support for ZIP file archives without external "unzip", V3 Snapshot files) and bug fixes (e. g., floppy disk controller now correctly reads strange sectors such as Speedlock)
Dear friend, Good work on making a CPC emulator for Android . The app needs lots of work, as due to touch screens, it is very difficult to browse on menus. There should be auto-landscape or a setting for that, because starting in portrait mode makes everything too small (useless). Proposal: disable portrait mode, emulator launch should always be in landscape. And, where is the folder to add .dsk files?

Code :
Function Keys ============= F1 Help [Introduction] F2 Toggle between CPC screen and message screen (red border) {DOS} F2 Toggle between real-time and unlimited-frames-per-second emulation {Non-DOS} Shift+F2 Toggle between CPU speed 1x, 3x and 24x at current number of frames per second {Non-DOS} F3 [Insert Disk] F4 Toggle Sound on/off [Sound enabled] F5 [Load Snapshot] (memory dump) F6 [Save Snapshot] F7 [Setup Menu] F8 Reset CPC F10 Debug Menu F11 Toggle fullscreen mode {Non-DOS only} F12 Exit CPCEMU
More detailed instructions may be found in the cpcemu.hlp file
13.07.2021 : CPCemu bug fix release 2.3.2.1 for ARM (Raspberry Pi) released There was a general problem with director paths on 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS, because the C function "strcpy" (yes, I know it is dangerous) behaves different than in 32 bit and than in any other OS for which CPCemu is provided. This is fixed now. Besides, the SDL message-box system does not work on 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS, so any messages (error and non-error) are, again (as earlier), output in a terminal window. For all other OS (and probably for other window managers than LXDE) these messages can be displayed by pressing SHIFT while exiting CPCemu.
11.07.2021 : CPCemu 2.3.1/2.3.2 released These are bugfix releases. They correct the following problems:
File handling on systems with a case-sensitive file system.
Missing folder "m4" in some Linux packages.
Outdated online help on Android.
Sound volume very high.
07.07.2021 : CPCemu 2.3 released After nearly four months of hard work, I'm back with a new version of CPCemu. I'm very proud to present an exclusive feature:
Complete emulation of an M4 Board (http://www.spinpoint.org) using a host directory as drive C: (i. e. SD card; even for SymbOS), including network/internet connections, dynamic ROM simulation and (replaceable) Hack ROM (lower ROM). Many thanks to Duke for providing information and staying patient!
CRTC emulation of type 0 (register 8) and type 1 (register 6) even better than before.
HYSNC and VSYNC emulation still a bit improved.
Online help updated.
Mouse pointer visible on movements.
Correction of many small and big errors (in particular, 576 KB RAM work correctly now for the first time after decades) and improved error reporting.
20.07.2021 : CPCemu published in Google Play Store I hereby announce that CPCemu (v2.3.2.1) has been published in the Google Play Store for Android as my first Android app.
20.07.2021 : CPCemu bug fix release 2.3.2.1 for Linux released 13.07.2021 There was a general problem with directory paths on some Linux systems, because the C function "strcpy" (yes, I know it is dangerous) behaves different than expected. This is fixed now. Besides, the SDL message-box system does not work on 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS, so any messages (error and non-error) are, again (as earlier), output in a terminal window. For all other OS (and probably for other window managers than LXDE) these messages can be displayed by pressing SHIFT while exiting CPCemu.
29.12.2021: CPCemu 2.4 released Unfortunately, this release took 5 months, but it was a bit difficult. It provides:
Original, but virtual CPC keyboard in 4 different languages. Click/touch at the bottom border to get it.
Loading firmware ROMs (0 and 255) from the running emulator (setup menu).
Upgrade to the latest SDL version (2.0.18). If you don't get the virtual keyboard, the on-screen joystick and the graphical main menu you should consider upgrading your installed SDL version.
Correction of many errors (M4 file names, M4 sockets, sound output, restart of emulation, error tolerance, screen layout, Z80 R register).
13.08.2022 : CPCemu 2.5 released Almost 8 months after the previous release, I'm proud to present a new version. I thought of making it v3.0, but decided to save the new major version number for a new user interface I'm working on. Many thanks go to Vincent Weber for thoroughly and patiently testing the Android version (thus improving the others, too).
Even without a new UI, the current version provides many new features:
Floppy LED (visible only with virtual keyboard)
Virtual keyboard: - adjustable: position, size, transparency - persistent: saves position, size, transparency automatically (separately for portrait and landscape on Android and iOS) - visual und acoustic (switchable) feedback
Virtual joystick in two different sizes
Virtual mouse (selectable instead of joystick): AMX, Reisware/Gerdes or Symbiface II (PS/2)
Original sounds of disk drive, cassette relay and keyboard (can be switched on and off)
Zoom function (display without border), alternating with and without full screen; persistent (separately for portrait and landscape on Android and iOS)
Audio emulation deeply revised; output quality significantly improved (you can select from 4 output frequencies)
Vortex memory extension SP64...SP512
Jarek memory extension 576KB...4096KB
Bank-switching speed dramatically improved; correct emulation of C3 mode
IPv6-enabled web server similar to M4 board (upload and download into/from the emulator via web interface)
Autostart behaviour improved (automatic file selection and deactivation)
Minimal audio latency on Android (Oboe)
User interface improved on Android/iOS
Setup settings are saved immediately
First preparations for new user interface
Adjusted to SDL version 2.0.22 (which needs to be installed manually on Linux)
Fixed bugs: background-foreground-changing behaviour on Android, real-time speed, video output speed (in particular on Android, iOS and MacOS, I think also on the Raspberry Pi), memory leaks, M4 sockets, file access on Android and iOS
This release is also available in the Android Play Store.
