Logitech G15 Keyboard LCD support

Toni Wilen · 27 November 2005, 22:26

This may be one of the most useless features ever

(Work in progress, not yet finished)

Hi, Toni

i don't have a logitech keyboard with a LCD, but i like your passion for those "useless" features"

Jerry · 28 November 2005, 07:33

Lol.
Now this IS useless... and I like it. Except that I'm not willing to pay that kind of money atm. Great work nonetheless.

I happen to think it's quite useful if you have one. Nice to keep tabs on the A500 when you think it's crashed.

Good work fella!

This is an interesting WIP Feature Toni, thanks

BippyM · 22 January 2006, 20:34

wow nice...

Looks wicked

Me thinks this will find its way onto LCDproc when WinUAE on Wine becomes more stable...

(As it stands the audio is giving me trouble.)

Now I'm necroposting big time here, but...
Is this feature still available in 3.5 x64?
(Because I just dug up my old G15 and refurbished it, solely to use with WinUAE :-)

MartinW · 01 January 2018, 14:40

Makes me think that the touch bar in a MacBook Pro could probably be put to use in a similar way. Obviously that wouldn't be in 'Win'UAE though, would have to be FS-UAE I guess and I don't even know if it's possible.

It is but make sure Logitech software is recent enough, requirement was changed few versions ago.

Eriond · 01 January 2018, 14:47

With 'recent enough', could you give me a version that is verified?
I'm currently on 8.51.5

Edit:

Never mind, I figured out how to upgrade (thougt that was done automatically), and now on 8.96.88 my beloved G15 works in perfect harmony with WinUAE once again!

honx · 01 January 2018, 15:21

oh crap and i sold my g15 two years ago!

honx · 10 January 2018, 10:31

will this also work in combination with new (2nd generation) logitech g15?
maybe i could get hands on one but i want to wait until this is confirmed...

Toni Wilen · 10 January 2018, 11:34

It uses logitech lcd api, it works with any logitech LCD based device (including all G15 variants and G13, perhaps others too)

honx · 15 March 2018, 11:59

do i have to install full blown logitech gaming software in order to have this lcd support?
or are automatically installed windows drivers on first plugging in the keybord enough?

honx · 04 July 2018, 18:49

i encountered something weird: winuae is shown three times in list of applets. see screenshot.
why? what is the problem here? and if there is a problem, how can i fix it? does anyone know?

Toni Wilen · 05 July 2018, 20:32

How would I know? It is Logitech software that decides it. I guess it thinks each different executable is different version or something.

(and stop posting this to non-related threads!)

DamienD · 05 July 2018, 20:48

Funny that, I said the same thing to honx in a PM before deleting his duplicate thread of post #17, which he posted under the support.WinUAE section tonight...

Suggested that he should possibly check for driver / software updates... definitely not a WinUAE issue though

honx · 05 July 2018, 21:09

as i answered in pm, software is latest version, there are no further updates available.
