Also, I note that x49gp has a rather binary understanding of the 49g+/50G that doesn't take the newrpl UI into account. NewRPL's UI (at least in the desktop simulator) has modified several buttons, and I was wondering how easy it would be to have that implemented in some manner. Quite some time ago, there used to be a "image=..." parameter, but I note this has since been removed, citing lack of use or function. I think I just came up with a use: newRPL's UI.


(Post 298 - even closer to 300)

Why don't you post this on the x49gp thread? I'm sure 3298 wouldn't mind adding that option, but if I remember correctly, the image of the keyboard is completely blank, and the text on the keys is hardcoded in the emulator. My guess is this was done to improve readability at some point, now in retrospective was perhaps a bad idea to hard code it, it should be something for the user to reconfigure, much like KML scripts in Emu48. But back then the intent was to emulate the 50g stock rom, nothing else. We are pushing the emulator well outside its intended use (now it's a complete debugging platform for newRPL development, on top of other improvements).

PS: I can't reply to your private messages, you seem to have that option disabled, but thanks for your suggestions, I'll try to find some time this weekend to update the wiki. I haven't pushed to SF because the most recent code because newrpl-ui does not compile at the moment, it's being modified for Android and I don't want to have code in SF that is broken. I know, I should work on a separate branch, then merge, etc. but bear with me for a little while.
