Castaway/PSP Version 002 Released (Atari ST Emulator)

[skeezix]

hi,

i don't know, how to press a key at the keyboard at all.
i have an automation disk and just have to press "1" (for example).
i see the virtual keyboard and i can move the cursor on it by pressing the d-pad.
but how can i press a key?
the readme says: "While present, left d-pad controls keyboard selection point and right d-pad X will push the selected key"

what is the left and what is the right d-pad? my psp has one d-pad and one analog-pad.
if i press left or right on the d-pad, the cursor moves, so that makes no sense...
i tried to press the x-button with almost every combinition with the other buttons, but nothing is happening.

The 'left d-pad' is the left buttons, while the 'right d-pad' is the circle, cross, etc. So use the 'd-pad' (the left one) and select a key, then press 'x' (on the right d-pad, but you know its just X) to press the key on the ST keyboard.

I'll write some good docs soon, when the UI settles down.

hm, after the cursor is above the "1" or "2", i can press X or any other button, but the games won't boot.
normally the automation menus are very easy to use and i know that this one works at least with the gp32 version.

but maybe this is one of the above mentioned problems with the keyboard.

Try a different game; I'm still working with the timings.. ie: It might not be holding the key down long enough for that menu/game to catch it. Timing is one of those things that changes each port, so need to get it right again.

Great job, I'm loving this emu.
Just a thought, is it possible to not have the keys repeat at all.

yeah, don't worry, some fixes to automatic key-release in 003

Edit: Brightening up the colours, adding more GUI goodness for startup options and during-runtime options, better mouse and keyboard handling.. lots coming.
