Yes, I am aware of what "always on top" is -But I wasn't sure if this was what you meant with "always visible". I don't think the function is that interesting myself, but on the other hand not much work either (at least not on Windows)... so we'll see...

What is the use case for this? It would be less work to (for instance) implemented it only as a configuration option and fix it on startup, but then you would not be able to toggle it on/off.. |

I write about my suggestion and bug reports in other topics about FS-UAE but after EAB is back I seen this topic. So I ask once again is it possible to enable multimedia keys for control other software - for example WinAMP which play net radios in background when I playing. It will be very useful for me. Thanks in advice and keep up good work Btw, I must find some time and learn more about lists in Python which I barely know or even almost have none knowledge about it and finish to translate Python to Delphi WinAPI to make as small as possible and ready to use as single exe file server for Windows OS.

Thx
E.g.: It would give the ability to play while having another window in the background (Web browser, TV...). No need to use Alt-Tab in this case. This feature is basic but may be useful for some players |

Easy GUI for in game change of controls/options etc and ability to create netplay within the emulator (e.g. like a chat server!?)

Are there any options in particular you're missing?

Netplay game browsing / setup will never be embedded into FS-UAE itself, but I have an in-development external launcher for FS-UAE with chat rooms and game setup functionality, but progress is slow since FS-UAE itself gets most attention. |

I'm not really against a floppy selector (etc), I just don't plan to embed a full configuration editor and/or configuration/game browser into FS-UAE itself. I may very well implemented a browse function for removable media (floppies, CDs), but it isn't at the top of my TODO-list

Hi Frode,
It would be nice to see the floppy/hard drives activity (in windowed & full-screen modes) |

Have you tried config option "uae_show_leds=true"?

Good suggestion, but it won't work. UAE has code to draw leds on the framebuffer, but this is only enabled when the framebuffer is at least 800x600. FS-UAE always uses a fixed framebuffer size (currently 752x572). |

New tools are coming...
I posted a bit info in response to a question over in the net play thread:
http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=...&postcount=235 So I thought I'd do a short preview here too, to let you know what's coming. The launcher application (shown in the screenshot) will be able to launch both local games and net play games (with built-in lobby / game channel support). The launcher will especially simplify setup for net play games as it ensures that everyone has compatible config, identical floppy images, and that everyone can connect properly to the net play server before launching FS-UAE. The initial version(s) will focus on doing the basic stuff well, and not all FS-UAE features will be supported from the start. Later, the launcher will probably be extended with some sort of visual game browser. The second screenshot shows the new joystick/gamepad configuration tool. This will most likely be bundled with the above launcher so I don't have to make so many different packages Making distribution packages for these new tools will take some time. For Windows, I will probably also create an installer with both FS-UAE + launcher bundled. |
