Is downloading abandonware illegal? Abandonware is a term that doesn't exist in almost all jurisdictions, so basically you're illegally acquiring copyrighted content which is prohibited by law in most countries.

That int10 thing is not complex, it's just a raster font (see void DrawText() in sdl_mapper.cpp for how it's used as Qbix said). But don't bother too much with it, the functionality should be swappable at any point if needed.

ttf is already incorporated in the printer patch, so it's no problem, but was just trying to figure out if you're currently using it only for the gp2x port. The int10 font might indeed be a better choice as it would support different codepages then 😉

Well integrating the libs might require a bit more work though (visual studio et al). But didn't look at the code too close yet.

Any idea if it can be enabled without much trouble for non-gp2x builds, too? Might come handy by times and would make troubleshooting a bit easier (sdl_ttf should integrate rather fine).

Uh that depends on the app/game of course. It is impossible to not have a keypress for f9 if you want to trigger shift-f9 as a combination. But i don't see any problem with the description of how to bind multiple events i've posted anyways.

The image doesn't display. Maybe even post (part of) the source code.

Uhm that's just what the msdn says, up to now a lot seems just deprecated but fully working, at least according to the information you posted and that is gathered elsewhere. For example the TOC function seems to be working just fine afaik.

Think the machine=cga is fine for that, the game seems to be playable with it.

It's possible, but might not work as expected. Especially shift-somekey combinations can be tricky due to how games read the state-keys. Click on some key in the mapper, say "X", hit the add button, then push some joystick button. Next click on another key, say "Y", hit add again, push the same …

Don't know if the caching scaler and the changed lines handling are related, so ignore my comment above. In GFX_EndUpdate, which path is taken? surface with locking? If it's without locking (that is hitting that while (y < sdl.draw.height) loop) then try to use something like SDL_UpdateRects( sdl. …

Solving a sudden decrease in system performance by pointing to some game ports? Hm. Any way check your system with some antivirus suite, verify that the fans are working correctly, monitor the system's heat transportation etc.
