RDP - Strange colors, no keyboard

Hi Toni,

EDIT - color palette issues fixed (see bottom)

I'm trying to use WinUAE 5.3.0 in Windows 7 32 bit using RDP. I have my Windows 7 instance hosted in the cloud and not running on bare metal.

I've installed WinUAE and have attempted to setup an A1200 emulated device with OS 3.2.2 ROMs. Other than that, the only thing I've tried manually setting is to use a B1230 IV (but I've also toggled that off and the behavior that I'm about to describe is unchanged).

Now, the mouse works great - I ticked GamePorts -> Virtual Mouse Driver.

However, the keyboard is not working. I can hit F12 and WinUAE recognizes it but inside of the virtualized environment, no keypress seems to do anything.

Additionally, the color palette looks off. It's using a lot of purples.

.

Thanks!

Fixed the color palette issues by installing dx11 and using that vs gdi in the misc tab.
