Then there's multitouch support - not very functional on Nexus/Desires because of their hardware limitations, but quite useful on Galaxy S for example - you can finally use the on-screen fire button there, that's a new feature too.<br />You can also map joystick to hardware keys now - joystick fire is auto-mapped to the camera button on Sony X10, where you have virtually no other options. Some little bugfixes of course, and the brand-new WorldOfSpectrum search function. That's about it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2808785110056287294-6270886262281463284?l=marvin-emulator.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08732086282034318463noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808785110056287294.post-86187062137407564112010-08-07T00:26:00.001+02:002010-08-07T00:26:16.408+02:00Just made this <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=144561112239460">Facebook group</a> for fans / &nbsp;bug reports / feature requests etc.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2808785110056287294-8618706213740756411?l=marvin-emulator.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08732086282034318463noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808785110056287294.post-11953565896385787402010-07-31T00:21:00.001+02:002010-07-31T00:22:19.021+02:00Well, the tape still sucks, but at least some bugs are fixed now.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2808785110056287294-1195356589638578740?l=marvin-emulator.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08732086282034318463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808785110056287294.post-62648942779119563432010-04-25T11:37:00.004+02:002010-04-28T14:39:23.688+02:00Ok, so I've finally found out what was causing the load-game crash on some devices - I couldn't believe it: if you read word (/long) from odd addresses in the native code, it works just fine on most phones, but it crashes on some older CPUs (no exception thrown, no error message, it just quits the app). Just sucks.<br />If I hadn't remembered the "odd address guru meditation" on my Commodore Amiga 15 years ago, I wouldn't even have thought about it.<br />I've also fixed some more stuff &nbsp;(joystick etc.)<br />This "quest for compatibility" is really getting endless. It &nbsp;took me just &nbsp;a week or two to write the whole emulator thing and get it working on my Nexus one, and now it takes forever to make it compatible with all the devices I've never heard of.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2808785110056287294-6264894277911956343?l=marvin-emulator.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08732086282034318463noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808785110056287294.post-50119855260243351282010-04-21T17:00:00.000+02:002010-04-21T17:00:33.175+02:00hehe. just got some funny e-mails / market comments:<br /><br />kim B: What is this app supposed to do ?<br />jessica: I couldn't figure it out and I don't know what you would even use or for<br />... etc<br /><br />It feels like I'm getting too old :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2808785110056287294-5011985526024335128?l=marvin-emulator.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08732086282034318463noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808785110056287294.post-88710413539978901192010-04-20T23:46:00.002+02:002010-04-20T23:46:10.921+02:00Just fixed some bugs and made the emulator working on Android v1.5+<br />Please test and send bugreports<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2808785110056287294-8871041353997890119?l=marvin-emulator.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08732086282034318463noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808785110056287294.post-38528866192699719842010-04-11T17:19:00.002+02:002010-04-11T17:19:37.657+02:00Ok, so the 1.0 version seems to crash on Motorla DROIDs.<br />I'm trying to find and fix the bug.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2808785110056287294-3852886619269971984?l=marvin-emulator.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08732086282034318463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808785110056287294.post-8805153038443055142010-04-09T20:17:00.002+02:002010-04-09T20:17:33.403+02:00Check it out on the Android market.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2808785110056287294-880515303844305514?l=marvin-emulator.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08732086282034318463noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2808785110056287294.post-92052523282691852182010-04-08T16:27:00.001+02:002010-04-09T20:17:03.048+02:00Finishing the emulator.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2808785110056287294-9205252328269185218?l=marvin-emulator.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>RChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08732086282034318463noreply@blogger.com0
