Hi Wim.

What would be the correct algorithm? Since we have the code, we could fix that. Most likely the code in SDL2 is also wrong, because it is a straight port of the SDL1 code.

IF we could get a performant port of Electron, this would open the door for VS Code/VSCodium and a lot other stuff.

As DOSBOX is SDL based it may be a problem with HIDAPI or something else, but I seem to recall Jochan mentioning that he has a gamepad enabled on games running under DOSBOX, so I was just curious as to whether the problem there is based on some tweaks being needed to DOSBOX or whether its about the new game controller drivers needing to address DOSBOX?
Mark, you seem to have mixed things up a little ;-)

SDL 1, which is used by DOSBOX, has native joytisck support, so in theory Wim's USB drivers should be available in SDL 1.
SDL 2 has HIDAPI support for gamepads only. I only ported Prboom with SDL 2 and there I had gamepad tested and working.

But at the location of the language files is also a file README that says:

"The Translations directory must reside in the directory which houses the Dooble
executable.

The environment variable DOOBLE_TRANSLATIONS_PATH may also be used. The variable
should be set to the absolute path of the Translations directory."

And the directory for the Dooble executable is \usr\bin ...

You could try using \usr\share as the location for the translations subdirectory and have DOOBLE_TRANSLATIONS_PATH point to that.

Well, that's a curious location for translation files. Common place such files would be /usr/share.
Thanks, Tom, but I already knew this ;-)
Still, it's a curious location on a Unix based system. On my Mac, I had to put things in the same place, which you normally wouldn't do.
I think, this stems from the Windows portable feature.
Still, it would be nice, if the application would test for the standard os paths.

hi, this is the image error message coming after running FeatherNotes  (rpm installed by yum install command line)
On my development machine, my hunspell version is 1.7.0-2. Hope, that helps.

2Jochen - Is there anything that is needed to do specifically under the current version of DOSBOX, other than modifying DOSBOX.conf to recognize the Joystick? Or is that currently possible under your latest version? Any additional specific library dependencies? I have both SDL 1.2.15-5 and SDL2 2.0.18-1 installed as well as the experimental release of HIDAPI and USB1 packages, if needed.
If you download the WPI, then you get notified of missing dependencies.
If Wim's driver shows up as native OS/2 joystick, it should work with Dosbox, because the native OS/2 api for joysticks is supported.

Hi Jochen

I have a problem with FeatherNotes and I'm not sure if it something on my system or in the application. The window of the application shows on the top and I can not move it on the desktop. I also do not have the windows bar showing on the top.

Regards
Ah, yes. I had that, too. Try to press ALT+Space and then select  "Move" in the window menu.

Hi.

I only use release repos. I made that mistake once. I will look tomorrow at my build version.

Bye

Hi Jochen

I tried installing the FeatherNotes RPM package and I get the message below.

I installed the zip package and created a program icon.  When I execute it nothing happens.
The ZIP package is not a RPM package. It's just a zipped version of the unixroot layout. It's included for people not using RPM.
If you use RPM, you should download the rpm package and install it via RPM or the Arcanoae GUI.

As for Featherpad, when I close the program, it appears to close. However, the icon still shows active although the program is closed.  The taskbar does not show it.  When I go into TOP, it shows still active and I have to kill it.

This is with ArcoOS 5.07 with all the latest updates.
Yes, this is correct behaviour: The first instance spins up a server. If you start another instance with one or more filenames, it contacts the server and the server instance opens the file(s). If you want to open FeatherPad as e.g. EPM, use the command line option "-s", which starts Featherpad standalone with as many processes you want and each process ends when it's window is closed.

Thanks Jochen. I also want to test that. I will be looking forward to the DOSBox update.
If the driver works like I think it would, there is no update to Dosbox or SDL1 necesarry. ;-)

It does not overlaps with the efforts to make a USB Gamepad driver to work on SDL ported games. I hope it can be complementary at the end.
In the now available SDL version 2.0.18, USB HID support for game controllers was enabled. Also native joystick support is reintroduced.
If I understand this correctly, we get native joystick support with this driver. If so, I will test the driver with Dosbox next week.
