Regressions

Features

Issues/bugs

Documentation

  • Review draft release notes [all]

DONE

  • SDLGL-PP not working on Mac. Just shows garbage or black screens.
  • TAB completion crashes on Windows when the current working dir is not the same as the one where openMSX.exe resides. Happens as of c0fb6a7c9

Postponed

  • Migrate user directory on Windows and macOS to location more suitable for that OS. See #1246 and #1247.
  • improve ease of 3rdparty lib upgrading [mth]
  • Windows MIDI-out code is buggy, for example using global variables for per-pluggable data; try to use the Linux/OSX shared code on Windows too [code: Maarten, test: Manuel]
  • Shared MIDI-out code splits large sysex messages since OSX has a size limit, but this seems to cause problems with MT32 emulation on Linux; maybe the splitting should be done on OSX only [code: Maarten, OSX test: ?]

[wouter] All these items have already been postponed one or more releases. Why would the next release be any different? How can we make the lists below shorter? Can some items be deleted or moved to low priority bug reports/feature requests?

Bugs/features

READ-DMK.COM related

  • How can we help users by shipping binaries for DMK support tools? They're currently not built... (Workaround: put binaries on the sf.net temp dir...)
  • READ-DMK.COM isn't working for Microsol yet
  • READ-DMK.COM needs 2 physical drives
  • Running read-dmk on a Gradiente Expert 1.1 with Microsol caused VRAM corruption on openMSX, but not on the real system. Note that with openMSX 0.10.1-RC1 I simply get a hangup when the program is going to do something.

Accepted

  • Cursor keys are not working on the Android port (only joystick is supported) - workaround is to use the Hacker's keyboard.

Documentation

  • Update Contrib/openmsx-control-socket.cc for SSPI (TODO by mfeingol)
  • Document how NekoLauncher openMSX can be setup easily for Mac users, see also this MRC thread (TODO by Mac dev (FiXato?))

Mobile Device support (Android/OpenDingux/OpenPandora)

  • Integrate patches from SladeCraven for OpenPandora support (mth has the patches)
  • Move FPS toggle from toys to video menu?
  • Move frameskip to video menu?
