    The MIST FPGA

    Try disabling Fast RAM with the latest core, it's been reported to work with WHDLoad in the MiST forums.

    The MIST FPGA

    Can you try booting with the .adf disk images? In my experience it's very sensitive to the ROM version that you use, and that's a quick way to check. Also I think it's best to format the .hdf from inside the MiST (after creating a blank file from a PC). I've installed workbench 3.1 within...

    The MIST FPGA

    The C64 core is not as mature as the others. It lacks disk support so it loads .prg files directly into memory (super fast, but won't run multi disk games), and the VGA output isn't very standard so causes more issues with many displays then other cores (unless you have a good upscaler). It is...

    Apple Ii Emu For Caanoo?

    Indeed. Porting it to the Cannoo is not a simple recompilation. I tried it ... but didn't get far (as told in another thread). I might try again if somebody could point me to code for a virtual keyboard... otherwise, I'd need to learn to write one for the Caanoo first, which is a bit harder...

    Frodo (C64 Emulator)

    Would you have an example of code for a virtual keyboard?

    Learning To Port?

    You need C++, lots of patience and persistence, and some good Google-fu.

    Time To Reach Emulator Maturity?

    If you want to learn writing an emulator, you can start coding a Chip8 emulator. Its probably the simplest thing emulated out there, so gives you the basics. It gets more complicated from there, ie coding a NES emu requires much more effort.

    Caanoo / WIZ Caanoo Sdk, Debugging

    Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know. I'll try to find a Windows usbnet driver then...

    Pay For Frozen Bubble?

    I'm no expert but didn't the GPL allow for commerical use as long as the source is available? I think there's paid iPhone version of some open source games as well, eg. Battle for Wesnoth.

    Caanoo / WIZ Caanoo Sdk, Debugging

    Would you have any examples on how to do debugging via USB from Windows? Is it just a matter of running cygwin and a telnet? But how to point to the device?

    Apple Ii Emulator?

    So my plan is to get a Windows build running well enough so I can develop a Caanoo GUI more easily. The Pandora port did a bit of UI, but since it has a proper keyboard it doesn't need too many changes. The Caanoo will need at least a virtual keyboard and maybe some menus to load a new disk and...

    Apple Ii Emulator?

    No, but I really want to play AppleII games on the go. :) It turned out recompiling this was much easier than I expected. But it's far from being usable - I'll celebrate when something boots in it.

    Apple Ii Emulator?

    Ok so I bit the bullet and gave it a shot myself. After a bit of tweaking wih the original source and the Pandora port, I managed to get a gpe file linked. Quite an encouraging start but obviously it doesn't work - half black screen afer loading. Well, at least it did somehing :) What I did is...

    Magic The Gathering Life Counter

    If it's just to keep track of life points for one player, maybe you can use a calculator app that can repeat the last operation? (then push the button times the hp lost) ;) Or which kind of feature would you want it to have? (2players, counters come to mind, but those are trickier to do...

    Apple Ii Emulator?

    Is it possible to compile the source on the Caanoo? It's probably easier to build on a PC, but you would need to have all the right dependency libraries. I would imagine those might already be in the machine itself?
