Thank You for your continued support and contributions!
Thank you for your work and congratulations for accepting it into the CVS It is a great plug-in.I would like to share some ideas for improvements:1. It would be much more usable if you can map the PLAY key on iriver H100 series for controlling games. There is one very good reason for this: PLAY is the only button which could be detected in combination with any other button.
2. The Custom keymap function should not probably map some virtual keys like: up, down ... fire/jump but it should map the real keys of the hardware target like: UP, DOWN ... NAVI, PLAY, RECORD.
3. It would be great if you can also map the buttons of the remote. For example on H100 series it again has the advantage of possibility to detect simultaneous button presses.
4. The VKeyboard is missing some keys like SYMBOL SHIFT and CAPS SHIFT. There should also be possibility to generate simultaneous presses of several keys and it would be great if there are some predefined simultaneous presses like on the keyboard of ZX Spectrum+.
5. Optional antialiasing on screens with a lower resolution than 256x192. Yes, I know that it would be considerably slower but the text is sometimes unreadable on H100 series.
6. Zoom on screens with a lower resolution to show the pixels 1:1. For example on H100 series it would be useful if you could control the zoom when the switch HOLD is activated i.e. NAVI - zoom/unzoom, joystick - move the slice.
7. Possibility to save the keymap, joystick and probably other settings separately for every tape or snapshot.
One bug report from iriver H120: It crashes after several seconds when the sound is turned on. Also the sound is played in loop if you enter the menu or even if you quit the plug-in.

btw, what is the speed on h100? for now it uses grayscale lib but i can write 4bpp driver for it (on iPods it gives a great speed boost.. though only 4 colors)
any help is welcomed
With aa it will not skip the lines and columns but it will count them into the resulting picture. There is a good description of antialiasing in Wikipedia. The simplest approach with just averaging of the content of the destination pixel would be fairly sufficient. I think I could prepare some basic functions.
The speed is not great... It is about 45%, with frameskip 4 it is 51% and in the fast mode 60%.
I hope I will find time to install the development environment and to get involved more although I am not a good programmer.
In Chucke Egg you have to "press" 'S' and then '1' to start the game for one player. You must use the virtual keyboard to generate the key presses. The virtual keyboard is in the menu which shows up after pressing hold on iPods.
thanks but this don't works to. when i press a key on the Vkeyboard nothin happens !others bugs:- when i start a game, there is no backlight- when i go to the menu (by switching old) it takes about 3-4 secondes before i can move in the menu or press a key....
so i finally go ingame but i can't move the character....
okay.......... and do you know a website where i can find inlaycards for zx spectrum games
