Hi there! Been using this great emulator for a while but have noticed some issues. You're probably already aware of them but I thought I would mention them anyway. These refer mainly to the 0.8.99 super-secret pre-release.
Setup: Windows 10/64-bit V0.8.99 Interpreter RISC OS 3.71 Configuration: 2/8MB VRAM, 32MB RAM, Sound Enabled - HostFS shows as empty both from the desktop and command line. No files/folders added via Windows or RISC OS appear even though it will happily create them (ok on 0.8.15). I wondered if it might be a permissions issue at first but that doesn't seem to be the case. - Keyboard handling problem after a menu is accessed via ALT (largely acts like ALT gets stuck down afterwards) (ok on 0.8.15). - Graphical corruption when configured as RiscPC/ARM810. - Starting as an A7000 model means mouse doesn't work when switched to a RiscPC model and vice versa. - Configuration options let you try and set VRAM on an A7000 model at which point it says it needs to restart (but doesn't do so) and then indicates it being present until the emulator is closed and reloaded. Maybe it would be better to have separate options provided and saved for each machine type. - In fullscreen mode there doesn't seem to be any way to switch back to windowed mode. Selecting the fullscreen option again via ALT-S does nothing and the conventional Windows Alt-Enter also has no effect. In addition the menu bar doesn't show up when you press ALT, which is a minor thing but could definitely confuse some people. Finally, a few difficulties I had with the emulator when I was starting out: Getting RISC OS up and running was easy enough but the universal-boot provided on your website seems to be missing the Shared C Library. I ended up using the 'UniBoot 2' version at https://www.retro-kit.co.uk/page.cfm/content/UniBoot-for-RISC-OS/ instead. I was then confused why I couldn't change the display mode in RISC OS until I eventually remembered that the newer machines rely on monitor definition files. Could these perhaps be provided with the emulator? In the end I used the 'anymode' module from http://www.pi-star.co.uk/anymode/ which allowed games such as Jeff Doggett's Doom port to work, although not all available modes are displayed in the desktop display manager. Finally, my apologies if I missed any instructions/info in the documentation regarding these points. Thanks for creating such a great piece of software! - James
