it currently needs wx3.0.

I haven't had time to fix it up for wx2.8.

Ok, Iĺl try to install wx 3.0 on raspbian or I'll wait for an OS newer version.

Thanks a lot for this emulator and for making avalaible for GNU/Linux with CPC+ support.

Any idea what date we can all expect this new version, and will it come with native joystick support!

I'm planning a release next week end.

Native joystick support: Arnold already supports using keyboard on pc for joysticks, or using a joypad on pc for joysticks. You can even use a joypad on pc and get it to press keys (for games that don't support joystick on cpc). Arnold also supports multiplay joysticks. Are you thinking of something else?

On my MAC, under preferences, it reckons you need to download a joystick enhancer.

Ok, which version of arnold are you using? The wip one I posted a few weeks back or Richard Bannister's one?

With WIP on the macbook I'm using it found my usb joypads fine. It's running Lion.

It sounds like your using the Arnold on Mac by Richard Bannister?

Error:

arnold cannot be opened because of a problem.

Check with the developer to make sure arnold works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X.

I change to new raspbian based on jessie and I install wx3.0 without problems and arnold compiles without problem but I try to execute and I get this error:

I use tis command to compile

Try adding -fsigned-char to the compilation line.


Sometimes there are "bugs" that happen on ARM-based platforms due to char type being unsigned by default.

arnoldemu

Please use sdl.

./make_arnz80_release.sh

sdl2 does cause this problem on linux.

Question: rpi 1, 2, 3 or?

Some news:

- I am making slower progress than I hoped with crtc accuracy but I am making progress. (crtc type 3 and 4 status register fixes)
- symbiface 2 rom and ram is emulated now
- problems saving device settings fixed (reported by TFM)
- some fixes with asic registers at power on. (found after testing andycadleys dma raster demo)
- bad jumping/flicker is fixed. (reported by lots of people)

tests:
- more crtc tests
- added more to the tests (including symbiface 2 ram and rom)
- started to add some ide tests.

platform specific fixes:

linux:
- fixed wx2.8 compile errors

windows:
- none

macosx:
- drag and drop fully working (drop on app icon, drop on arnold window, drop on icon on the dock)
- double click tested (arnold not open and arnold open)
- open with fixed (no longer shows "do you want to open another instance" because this is not the macosx way).
- arnold now crashes the compiler on the macbook and I don't know why :(
- bundle fixes (reported by Bert); resources in correct directory and lots of plist changes which help with file associations, macosx minimum version now set.

Eureka, using ./make_arnz80_release.sh runs ok! Thanks a lot!

By the way, it's a raspberry pi 2 with latest raspbian (February 26th, 2016)

A version for macosx is here: http://cpctech.cpc-live.com/arnold.dmg

I am aware of a few bugs that have been reported to me, but feel free to try it out and report bugs via private message.

A huge gold star for having "Keyboard - Translated" option :-)


(something happens though that disables a lot of the menu items and you have to force quit the application, although the emulation is still running fine itself)
(the graphics viewer windows starts up really really tiny, but I'm guessing this is a very beta feature at the moment)

do you think to continue the "upgraded" Arnold 'Aeliss' Edition" ?

I plan another release in november. (windows, linux and hopefully mac).

I have already made some fixes for multiplay, added x-mass and some fixes in symbiface 2. :)

I am working on improving disc emulation. So there will be more to see in the next release :)
