emu48 now for android-OS

[Regis Cosnier]

Hello,

This is my first post here in the forum, I'm Régis Cosnier, the author of this port to Android. I'm glad to see this app so well received.

Thanks a lot to Eric Rechlin for all the faceplates, ROMs, bug reports and his amazing web site,
and to Christoph Giesselink to have found the compatibility issue with the Windows version and above all, its fantastic Emu48 that I use almost every day.

Christoph can correct me if I'm wrong, but for the port 2 issue with HP49/50, the flash is written in the ROM file (i.e.: "rom.49g").

By default when you create a new HP49/50 with the embedded readonly file "rom.49g", everything that you store in port 2 is lost just because the file "rom.49g" is READONLY.
But it works exactly like with Windows. If you can write in the ROM file, it should save the content of port 2 in the ROM file with Android too.

To save the port 2 in the HP49/50 with Emu48 for Android (it works with version 1.3):
* copy "real50g-lc.kml", "real50g-lc.png", "keyb4950.kmi", "rom.49g" in a FOLDER of your Android device,
* in the menu:
** touch "New..." to create a new device
** or touch "Change KML Script..." to change the current KML script and ROM location
* select "[Custom KML script...]"
* select the FOLDER
* pick the calculator (which should be "Eric's Real 50g (Large Cropped)")!

And because, the file "FOLDER/rom.49g" is not readonly anymore, you can save your port 2.

I hope it help.

Regards,
Régis
