Accessing FS-UAE from VNC

[milyrouge]

Hi,


I'm running AmigaOS 4.1 on a Raspberry Pi 400 (works pretty well, though slower than it is on my Macbook Pro, of course). The reason I got this was that I was planning to VNC into it from my iPad so that I can muck about on OS 4.1 whilst lounging lazily on the sofa.


Unfortunately, using the mouse is rather challenging (impossible) since it jumps all over the place when accessed from VNC. I've tried both RealVNC and Tiger VNC on the RPI and have looked for VNC servers I can run within OS 4.1 (can't find one) as well as trying out a couple of different VNC clients on my iPad and on my Macbook, but without luck so I was hoping that there was someone here who had an idea how to make this work.


Does anyone know how to either change AmigaOS, the VNC server, the VNC client or FS-UAE to make this work?


Thanks for any ideas or advice!

Googled and found https://help.realvnc.com/hc/en-us/ar...ter-Reference-
Have you tried with the vnc option RelativePtr set to TRUE

(FS-UAE wants relative mouse motion, which is presumably why remote desktop software has issues with FS-UAE & mouse).

Btw, did you compile QEMU-UAE for Raspberry Pi yourself?

That's great! Thanks. I'll try that and will report back with the result.

Yes, I compiled both FS-UAE and qemu-uae.so for RPI and it worked perfectly. I've only managed 3.0.5 so far. I tried with an earlier version of v4 but didn't get it working and have been a little swamped since then.

Thanks for your help! If there's anything I can test on the RPI, do please tell me.

Hei Frode!

Just wanted to say thanks for the suggestion: it works perfectly on macOS. I still have to find out how to enable relativeptr on the iPad, but I'm an important step closer now.
