MPX68K 4.6 (build 940)

Highlights

• USB joysticks such as the X68000 Z JOYCARD now work. Generic USB HID joysticks and gamepads that macOS's GameController framework does not recognize are read directly. D-pad/stick and hat switches map to the X68000 joystick port; the JOYCARD's A and B buttons map to triggers A and B. The joystick works whichever input mode is selected.
• Saved floppies are restored on the next launch. With Restore Last Session or Smart Load, a floppy saved with Disk State Management was never mounted again because of how the App Sandbox handles saved file access. It now comes back and boots.

Changes

• The input mode is now a checked Joycard Mode item in the Display and System menus. The old fixed "Switch to Joycard Mode" title read as the opposite of the current mode.
• In Joycard Mode, Space, Z/A/B, WASD, and J/K only drive the joycard; they no longer also type on the X68000 keyboard. Return, Backspace, Tab, and Esc still reach the keyboard.
• A restored disk keeps its file access while mounted, so write-back and later state saves can still reach it. Stale saved bookmarks are used and refreshed instead of being dropped.

Compatibility

• MPX68K 4.6 (build 940)
