BETABRITE SCROLL SIGN IN ARCADE OS
<< < (7/25) > >>

Ok, new version is out. (0.97.2). Quite a lots changed so I expect there are some bugs.

I've rewritten the Betabrite stuff based on the alpha protocol - it should mean that there is no need for dynamic/static selecting. It will also kick out control info (8-way joystick) and button info to betabrites. These are all seperated by "\n" which I have to say does not seem to crop up in the alpha protocol, but seeing as its been reported here to work I've tried it.

I've also added a drop down list of all the betabrite fancy display modes I could find. I'm sure some of these will not work with some models - let me know how it goes. It defaults to the various/random option. The previous hardcoded one was the 2nd one in the list - just holding still.

I've also added an option for ArcadeOS support. This option is only available when using Betabrites, and is untested. It makes a right looking List.LCD file with all the info but arcadeOS does not allow unprintable ascii characters within the List.LCD file and has its own substitutions which I've used, but not tested at all. It will currently only ouput the "random" type display for text.

I've also made a couple of self-extracting archives for the VB6 runtime files and another for the MsXML files needed to run. HOPEFULLY they will work now I'm not relying on the self-packaging installer. Although I'm practically expecting this one to fail....

I tried the new version, and it shot "oooooooooooooooo" scrolling on the sign no matter what game.  A continuous line of those.

Silver, I'll test tonight.

Could you explain a bit?  What settings did you use? It's possible that thiis isn't a problem, and you just picked that one game called "oooooooooooooooo"   :)

Confirmed bug, fix on the way.

Edit: Fixed, new version up without all the "ooooo"

Allright, here's is where I'm at:

1) Controls now show up

2) A Double name game does not show up together(i.e. golden tee 2k shows up as; (golden)  (tee 2k\ntrackball)  (\n1:???\n2:???\n)     - EDIT: where the smileys are, is where the 3?'s are supposed to be.

3) As I showed above, that \n is behind everything. 

4) Off the lcd part for a sec, it seems as though not very many games are getting their button controls read.  Is it just an uncomplete controls.dat or something?
