Minimig mouse acceleration and glitching issues #79

Closed famiclone6502 closed 3 years ago

famiclone6502 commented 4 years ago

The mouse movement in the Minimig core is currently very sensitive with my wireless laser mouse. I am not necessarily requesting sensitivity adjustment as a new feature, but as a bug fix: if input is "too fast" it should cap maximum speed the Amiga mouse should ever accelerate.

If I move "too fast" it will glitch and throw the cursor all over the screen. It does not seem to break games, but I have to be careful and slow with my movement. I only need to move very slowly for the cursor to travel a large distance.

A good example would be when running Lemmings or even just Workbench.

And what are your pointer settings in Prefs/Input?

robinsonb5 commented 4 years ago

Prefs/Input settings aren't relevant if the mouse counters are overflowing before the Amiga reads them. Nor are they applicable to games such as Lemmings.

If you can compile, please try with this patch: https://github.com/mist-devel/minimig-mist/commit/d7c8ea74ff4af551a0d3ca8c41ee6374dfd7fa97

Sorry, I cannot compile at this time.

I've confirmed that the previous release minimig_mist_20200209.rbf did not have the issue. (also, I am running the latest MiST firmware)

@robinsonb5 Good to see you here! I've added the mouse wheel driver disk to the binary repo, which I took from your TC port. However it crashes in 68000/ECS mode, and works only in 68020/AGA. Is it compiled for 68020 only, or I'm doing something wrong? This is the ADF I talk about: https://github.com/mist-devel/mist-binaries/blob/master/cores/minimig-aga/WheelDriver.adf

robinsonb5 commented 4 years ago

It's probably built for 68020 - I remember some years back being asked for a 68000 build of FreeWheel, and since the WheelDriver's an evolution of a project dating from the same time it probably needs the same build tweaks. I'll take a look later on.

(Most of what appears in my dev branch in the coming weeks should be applicable to MiST as well as the TC64, by the way - I'm trying not to break other targets too badly or make changes that are too invasive, but it will no doubt need some adapting.)

I think this bug was fixed in the latest release.

famiclone6502 commented 3 years ago

Confirmed fixed. Thank you everyone!
