Its a great game. Except the intro, which is far too long! I enjoyed it more than any games in years...

I vote Start, Select and Option as Prophet:-) As for non-overridable functions - to ensure programs can always be exited etc - the idea makes sense. But how about a combination, then emulators are free to use the raw keypresses how they choose. Something like ctrl-alt-del or ctrl-amiga-amiga...

How about UDLR? Voted NSWE as its most descriptive.

Where are you based? I think I've still got mine - dpad modded the F100, so no longer need it. Mark

When I saw the topic I thought it was going to be a suggestion of booting to a BASIC READY prompt on screen+tvout. So it would be like the good old 8-bit days:-) That would rock!

Course that keycode stuff isn't unicode. I'm yet to work out what it IS though. Conversion to ascii by & with 0xff works in some cases, but I want to know what the upper bits represent... The code for loadkeys is as clear as very thick mud.

Yes true, thought I'd quite like it to show the key I've pressed on the emulator menu. Also for common (non-system specific) stuff I'd like the value on the keyboard to be used. Then you only need to remember special keys, rather than get out the old computer to find out where the " character...

In case anyone was (silently) interested - I've just updated the link with a much newer version. i) Connect/disconnect/multiple device support. ii) Joystick support. iii) Mouse support. Going to try it for real in atari800 now... Only tried the included example so far. Mark

I thought I'd use opendir instead to scan the directory... (takes .5ms, so not ideal but...) It does detects new files added. However, even if I closedir/opendir and rewinddir it does not detect deletes. Until I restart the process! Gah! So to detect deletes I need to open (or stat) each file -...

The MK1's are the first 100 semi self-assembly units right? I'd love one of them (bugs and all), but being only 100 (including free ones to core devs) that doesn't leave many I guess...

I'm trying to detect keyboard/joysticks being attached. I've tried several strategies, all of which work on my other linux boxes (2.6...), but none work on the GP2X! What is the best method for this? I tried: i) F_NOTIFY in fcntl on "/dev/input". Works and returns success, but never notifies...

Lets revisit the requirements: i) Precision of control. ii) Consistent across applications. iii) Ability to hold, so not knocked in pocket. iv) Control volume at early startup -before OS is up. v) Cost reasonable vi) Size vii) Fits with current design - analogue amp? viii) Non-volatile. ix)...

Heh, those look great - not come across them before. Much better than the 6mm slider. Course there still needs to be two buttons - or a small rocker to control it. Really need two buttons + a switch to lock it. Thought there could also be an and gate connected with the controls (must be one...

Wow, these a really hard to find. But 6mm travel seems low. I'd even prefer a set of 8 external dip switches, giving 256 volume levels:-) Or a trimpot that I need a screwdriver to adjust (stylus could have a screwdriver end?). Or the stylus is volume control (turns an internal trimpot) when in...

I think a slider was decided since it allows space behind for the stylus to slide in. Though 1cm travel does look too low for any precision of control? GP32 wheel seems to have approx 3-4cm travel. Anyway guess Craig just wants the part at this point, rather than a flamewar opening up again...

I'd be very disappointed/surprised if this info isn't made available for Pandora users in some kind of open form. Since thats kind of the point IMO! Anyway I don't think there is anything yet, so best to talk to TI. Good luck with the project. Sure any contributed code will be...

Thanks metalbrain, some good info there. My latest attempt is at: http://ssh.scrameta.net/www.scrameta.net/l...eyboard.tar.bz2. It uses /dev/input/eventXX to get the press/release events. Just using the defines from /usr/include/linux/input.h is rubbish since it only works for a fixed US layout...

Thanks I'll check out usbjoy. As for keyboard think I'll have a go starting from the scankeys app as a base... Amazing how something so simple seems to be so hard. Go Linux! Mark

I'm pulling my hair out trying to read characters from the keyboard! All I want is a nice simple way to find out which keys are currently pressed (unbuffered press/release events also ok) under Linux. I don't want to use SDL or some heavyweight library. There MUST be a simple way of doing this...

Sure. Though that means I need to get a new HDD to fix my xbox! Mark
