Hi Everyone, There's some exciting news regarding Graham O'Neills eboard drivers. He's recently released versions of them where they operate as UCI engines, and using this, we've made some changes to ScidvsPC that enables good windows and also linux support. Basically, this now enables (supported) eboard games to be played/input in ScidvsPC, and also played against UCI engines and online with fics.
The code is now in svn, and also here as a windows gui update which can installed over the top of scid.gui in scidvspc-4.23 https://sourceforge.net/projects/scidvspc/files/windows-beta/scid.gui-22012023.zip/download Obviously this is a niche feature but hopefully some people will find it useful, and testing would be great. Below is the new help info. cheers, Steven ------------------------------------------------- Electronic Chessboards Graham O'Neill has been releasing drivers for numerous electronic chess boards for a while now. At Graham's Chess page https://goneill.co.nz/chess https://goneill.co.nz/chess#linux you'll find lots of information, including Windows support for Certabo Chessnut DGT DGT Pegasus Millennium Novag Citrine Novag USB Saitek Square Off A subset of these are also supported in Linux. Basically, one installs the UCI Engine version of the appropriate driver from Graham's site and, by starting the driver using the Analysis Engines option, your eboard can now be used to enter chess games, play online with FICS, or against an UCI Engine. This is a new feature and hopefully it will mature as we go. A huge thanks to Graham for his great eboard support and documentation. :)
