The version v0.35.0 of Xcpc has been released !
What’s new ?
This version now provides a new very simple user interface based on Xt Intrincs in case of Athena or Motif2 toolkits are not available or if you just want the simplest user interface, basically a simple window.
Joystick support has been added under Linux and up to two physical joysticks can be used. You can now really play to old games in good conditions.
Some Hotkeys/shortcuts have been added:
- « F1 » for help.
- « F2 / F3 » for loading/saving snapshots.
- « F4 / F5 » for inserting/removing disk into/from drive A.
- « F6 / F7 » for inserting/removing disk into/from drive B.
The throtting of keyboard events has been improved so you can use virtual keyboards (like Onboard) without losing some keys.
The joystick emulator with the keyboard has been rewritten:
- Toggle joystick emulation: « Home » or « End ».
- Directions: « Up / Down / Left / Right ».
- Fire 1: « Left Control ».
- Fire 2: « Left Alt ».
The emulator scheduling has been improved and some little bugs have been fixed.
Autotoolization has been updated with the detection of the PortAudio library to prepare the future sound support.
