Release Inside a Star-Filled Sky

[lunixbochs]

For anyone interested in this, I updated the pnd on http://bochs.info/pnd/ with fixed joystick code. It runs pretty well on my 1ghz.

Thanks, I just tried it but my Nubs do not work at all in the game ... I can't see any error-messages in the pndrun file though.


I did not try the earlier version of the port. Usually my Nubs work fine in joystick mode.


Maybe some settings missing in a config file(?)


EDIT: ah, ok. I assumed your PND automaically puts the Nubs into joystick mode, but you have to do it yourself. Now it works.

Oh, this looks interesting. Of course only my left nub is currently working. I'll try it when I get a replacement nub.

It *should* D: it has code for that.

Did you do a sleep 1 after calling the nubsetscript?


On pre 1GHz units, the script is not finnished before the game starts.

 

[lunixbochs]

I think I set the nubs by hand.

 

[mcobit]

That is not the preffered way anymore afaik.

Any chance this will show up in the Repo? This really looks like a lot of fun and I missed it last year when it first showed up. I'll download it now, and I'm guessing I have to set my nubs to joystick mode before executing the PND?


EDIT: Didn't have to mess with the nubs. This is a blast! Thanks and well done! Donation to follow, do you have a PayPal?

Thanks! There's a donation link on my repo pages ( http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=all&search=lunixbochs )


I want to optimize the rendering a *bit* more so it runs smoothly on the classic before I do a real release.

Strange, I just tested again and the Nubs are not recognized unless I manually set them to Joystick mode. Tried a different PND which sets the Nubs automatically and that works.


I have a 1GHz unit with latest firmware, no modifications done to the OS ... here's the pndrun output, maybe you see something I don't?

I'll change the nub method to mcobit's suggestion when I get a chance.

On my 1GHz unit, I didn't have to set the nubs first, they just worked once I ran the PND.
