When my Iyonix stopped working earlier this week, I decided to move as many things as possible to RPCEmu on my Linux box. I have now managed to resurrect the Iyo (PSU problem - again), but I intend to keep the RPCEmu setup up to date, just in case. While working with the emulator on a daily basis, I noticed a few things:
- Using a RiscPC keyboard, the ` and ' keys are switched around. Question: Which part of the source code do I have to change to fix this? - Ctrl+End is not a good choice to call up the menu. I have used this key combination with StrongED for many years and not being able to use it is more than a minor nuisance. Question: Which part of the source code do I have to change to fix this? - Top bit set characters in filenames can be problematic. I know, you shouldn't use any, but spaces tend to creep in almost unnoticed. RISC OS fakes them in filenames by coding them to 160 and RPCEmu uses the ISO-8859-1 character set while most Linux distros will be on UTF-8 these days. This can cause problems if you want to access such a file from Linux. Question: Is there a way around this? - Servers running inside the emulator cannot be reached and active FTP doesn't work. Not surprising. Would be nice if there was a way around this (maybe some more iptables magic? need to study this...). - Networking is unreliable with RISC OS 5.19. Spurious errors occurred during an AntiSpam session of around 40 messages. The session had to be restarted several times and each time processing a different message would produce another kind of nonsensical error. In the end I gave up and switched to RISC OS 4.39, which worked like a charm. This is probably more of an RO 5.19 problem than something to do with RPCEmu, but I thought I would also mention it here for completeness. Also, is there any chance of the serial port and mouse scrollwheel ever being made to work? Details of RPCEmu used: version 0.8.9, recompiler, SA110, 256M.
