Set it to its default and it works fine.

Has this bug been fixed yet ? (Just curious before I dive in).

EDIT. Just tested, it locks up if you change from the default control config (X fire, B 2nd).

Could I request a couple of things please Lubomyr ? Could you fix the control config bug listed above and also could you make the file requester remember it's scrolled position when selecting ADF's. I think you added this feature to UAE4All. I've been going through some old coverdisks I remembered and would like the file requester to remember where I got to in the list. Also useful when inserting multi disk games, when you go back to the requester you dont have to scroll through to find the next disk.

Also, option to add 64 and/or 128mb Z3 memory. Useful for preloading big WHDLoad games, demos etc.

Thanks for adding these two things.

Switching the preset control configs doesn't lock up the amiga anymore but it also doesn't change any of the buttons. It uses the same buttons no matter what preset you choose.

Also, does the 'Pandora Speed' slider affect Android in any way ? I don't remember it being there.

[lubomyr]

'Pandora Speed' does not have any affect on Android.
After some refactoring i just forgot it to hide.

Is it a known problem that when you bring up the on-screen keyboard it really slows down the emulation and makes the sound crackle ?

It is libSDL bug. Maybe someday it will be fixed.

Another thing, sorry, in workbench and possibly elsewhere, the mouse intermittently stops moving (very noticeable when using a right analogue stick for mouse move). In chips version he removed a bit of code that only related to the Pandora, it made the mouse smoother on the Raspberry Pi. Would this apply to your version as well ? Here is a link to his commit :-

Note that I think it would be a good idea to synchronize both source code of rpi version and android by having one that is a fork from the other.... But before that I think it would be good to clean a little bit the switch management... as you see in above push I used RASPBERRY despite I should have use a pandora specific switch... I think it will be the next thing I will do...

And ever more ideally it would be good to be synchronize on same github with tomB code

Awwww YEAH!!

Some info about mousehack from Pandora forum:
Q: What does the new mousehack code do?
A: The new mousehack allows you to use the stylus on touchscreen to exactly position the mouse on Amiga workbench.

Interesting and very useful feature for users which want to use direct (not relative) touchscreen mouse mode

[liveevil]

Would that new mousehack code fix the stuttery mouse I asked about above ?

-disk images in zip files

Hasn't that been available since the first release or is it to do with something different ?

[lubomyr]

With latest version i have big troubles with left mouse click via double tap on touchscreen
I don't know, if this problem exist on another platforms, or it only android port problem.
sound_sdl_new.cpp requires some correction for latest changes.

[liveevil]

Just wondered how things were progressing with the latest update ? Has TomB made it a lot more difficult to port on this version ? I'm curious to know how the RP9 format will work. Will it automatically insert the disks when needed or only on first boot, and what happens if the Machine Configuration in the RP9 Manifest file is not supported by UAE4Arm ?

[lubomyr]

liveevil,
I'm not checked RP9, if you want you can try it

uae4arm-debug-10042016.apk

status is the same
Left mouse click via Tap or hold (sdl-settings: Mouse emulation: Left mouse click) - not works. That mean impossible to use Relative mouse movement mode (sdl-settings: Mouse emulation: Advanced features)

but now is possible to use direct (not relative) mouse mode, for use it you must:
- disable Relative mouse movement (sdl-settings: Mouse emulation: Advanced features)
- select Left mouse click as Normal (sdl-settings: Mouse emulation: Left mouse click)
- and enable mousehack (via uae4arm menu, input tab)

I don't know when mouse click via relative mouse mode will be fixed. Probably only pelya can fix it.

Other features as: bsdsocket, 128mb z3 fast ram, etc.. work correct
Real mouse also works.
Bug with slower sound in P96 mode still not fixed.

Just tested the RP9 format. I tried 4 games :-

Agony (contains 2 adf)
Alien Breed II (2 adf)
Banshee (4 adf)
Willy Beamish (contains hdf)

Agony and Alien Breed II play the intro then ask for disk 2 !?!
Banshee and Willy Beamish didn't work.

It seems the RP9 format only works for 1 disk games which defeats the point of the RP9 format. May as well just use a normal ADF. Oh well. Haven't tested anything else yet.

EDIT: It says UAE4Arm has stopped working when Quiting. Not a problem, I just thought i'd let you know.

TomB updated UAE4ARM for Pandora

Changes:
- Bugfix in dialog for adding HDF
- Improved support for rp9 (only 5 out of 99 games from "Amiga Forever 2016" not working)
Usage: Copy rp9 files and the three "workbench-xyz.hdf" files to folder "appdata/uae4arm/rp9".
All files of a rp9 archive added to the last used disk list, so you can easily select them with
the dropdown control in the floppy panel.
- Support for RDB hardfiles

Lubomyr - is it possible to have an option to remove the on screen keyboard when accessing text dialog boxes? Maybe in the SDL config menu which you can access before uae4arm starts.

There are quite a few Android PC devices now which you use physical USB mouse and keyboard that don't have a touch screen.

I just got a Pine64 single board computer and for example when I goto save a config, the onscreen keyboard appears but without a touch screen it is not easy to remove the onscreen keyboard and save the config. 1/3 of the screen is hidden with onscreen keyboard.

Many thanks for your hard work.

[lubomyr]

Higgy,
I will think how to fix it. Soon i will have similar device
