    New MP3 in next Firmware, what else??.

    It's not so much the keyboard I'd like, as the option to use a mouse. Not too much to carry around, and some games in CaSTaway just don't play right using the limited directions of a joystick. The keyboard idea was more along the lines of "well, if we're adding more USB support, then why not"...

    New MP3 in next Firmware, what else??.

    Personally I still favour using the USB port, because then the work can all be done in firmware and we don't need to wait for the design and production of an official keyboard. An official adaptor would take less time, and would potentially allow for an inline battery compartment to handle the...

    Well, now that we've got save states (thank you so much Skeezix, it really makes it practical to just have a quick blast of Xenon 2 every now and then, without having to wait for it to decompress), my next vote would also be for L=Keyboard. I'm sure it would also make it much easier to play...

    New MP3 in next Firmware, what else??.

    Well, I'm not worried about an equalizer or the likes. In fact I'd rather see less complexity, if it means that the clock speed, and hence battery consumption, can be reduced. Perhaps blanking the screen when it's put into "Hold" mode as well, to help with this. As for the firmware in general -...

    CaSTaway GP feedback

    BTW Skeezix, I agree with you in principle about not having save states because they encourage cheating, but there are also many good reasons why CaSTaway should have them. Personally I want them in order to be able to avoid long load times on some games as they decompress. Other people want...

    CaSTaway GP feedback

    Regarding the save state file size, how about this: ISTR that the ST started up with random crap in RAM, however there's no reason why an emulator couldn't initialise all the emulated RAM to zeros. If this takes noticeably longer than a "normal" startup, then it would need to be via a "Reboot...

    CaSTaway GP feedback

    I'd like to add my voice to the call for save states - primarily so that I can save games after they've loded but before they start playing. That way I can skip the intro screens, the loading screens, the credits and so on, and get straight into playing the game. I'd also like the ability to...
