The touchscreen gamepad only hides if you press the face buttons, the start button or the dpad on the external gamepad, it remains visible if you just press the lt and rt buttons or move the stick, you can see the input of the lt and rt buttons that way, press on the touchscreen to make it visible then just press lt and rt buttons on gamepad.

hung14 commented 5 years ago

On screen control isnt visible. It still there, i can control normaly, just dont see any buttons. I'm using Xperia xz premium and newest build on playstore.

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

Delete the buttons.png in the folder you chose as your "home folder" in reicast settings and then restart.

hung14 commented 5 years ago

ok i moved the home folder to internal storage and it worked thanks.

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

It should be in a subfolder named "data" Launching a game should recreate the file, but may require quitting and launching again (but only one additional time)

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

Using latest beta 91dda19 if you enable the option enable microphone in input settings you get a black screen when launching any game, I already made sure reicast has the Android microphone permission enabled in Android app settings but it still happens, Seaman is now unplayable.

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

The microphone has to be configured to a controller, which is currently not available without a physical controller present in port 2. We appreciate your patience while a workaround is added.

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

But Seaman requires the microphone to be connected to the first controller (A) in expansion socket 2 and right now the 2 VMUs of the first controller cannot be modified, making the game unplayable. Also it appears the extra vmus are not working even with a second gamepad attached on Android, I select them on the input menu but they don't appear on the bios ui: screenshot_20180822-160339

As you can see it detects the second controller but not the vmus.

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

I dunno what to tell you. I only did the UI portion of the new controller support. You'll probably need @baka0815 to check that over.

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

It's possible if they are being defaulted to "None" and later changed, the existing device has to be deleted first. I would think the controller setup code should override that, though.

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

Tested 97c5b9e but toggling the option enable microphone in input settings still causes a black screen when launching any game or bios. I made sure the mic permission is on in Android settings but still happens, anyone else with the same issue? it should be easy to reproduce. Also tested with 3 different gamepads but the extra vmus don't get enabled even when selecting them in input settings.

Honestly don't know what to tell you there.

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

https://github.com/reicast/reicast-emulator/pull/1317 should restore functionality.

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

Well, I don't have Seamen to verify the mic works, but setting VMUs in other ports is fixed. It shows a blank in the BIOS for A-2, so I am assuming it at least gets the mic there. Just not sure if it still attaches with the new way of configuring it.

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

Is it safe to assume the microphone works again?

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

Thanks a bunch man, I will test if it works when I get the update through the playstore.

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

Just tested it and everything works perfectly now! Enabling the mic in settings no longer causes a black screen and it does work on Seaman, the extra vmus are working correctly now too: screenshot_20180822-235112

Pretty good job guys, you rock.

MezaCorleehone66 commented 5 years ago

Hi good day. I have problems with Android 8.1.0, the emulator is not able to run when starting a game

now on Android 6.0.1 if it starts, all right until I start playing resident veronica code. before I played normal, now it seems that I had jumps of images.

Yes, when walking, you skip images or show lag. before it did not happen.

I hope the comments serve

Android 6.0.1 GPU adreno 330- 578 mhz

Thank you

cthulhu1990 commented 5 years ago

Xiaomi Mipad1 ,android 7.1 (linage 14.1),Tegra K1. Can't load any game with any Bios. If i try to load game,only bios loaded,or program crashed. Sorry for bad english 42679847-f23fab44-868b-11e8-940d-0b53c597a2a9

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

That is typically the result of a bad ROM, most likely in CDI format.

baka0815 commented 5 years ago

@cthulhu1990 use GDI versions and verify with TOSEC or redump.org.

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

Bug report: On latest beta 8c93ba0 everytime after opening the emu settings or the input settings and going back the bios files appear instead of your game list: screenshot_20180827-233440

should be easy to reproduce.

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

The issue was resolved around 15 minutes ago. https://github.com/reicast/reicast-emulator/pull/1353

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

Just updated it but it is still happening on 81056d3

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

Until the most recent changes are published, all of the menus work fine. It is only when using the hard back button that was effected.

ghost commented 5 years ago

latest release reicast_r8.1-6-g93affdd7 can't locate or read any games what happened screenshot_2018-09-12-22-44-03

😢

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

@Emulatorer Nobody was doubting you. Check the reference between your posts.

ghost commented 5 years ago

@Abandonedcart OK tnx waiting for the fix 😅

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

https://github.com/reicast/reicast-emulator/pull/1376 resolves it.

genos1213 commented 5 years ago

I still get the black screen issue that other people were having when trying to launch the BIOS or a game. I'm using a custom ROM Oreo on a Galaxy S5.

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

Unfortunately, that one doesn't have as easy of a fix. It appears to be a memory mapping issue.

Huseinmk commented 5 years ago

Device : Samsung Galaxy grand prime Os : Android KitKat 4.4.4 APK version : r8.1 from play store After pressing ( About ) option the app freezes .

delize commented 5 years ago

The biggest issue I have is: 1) Either the game list fails to load from over a network share, usually takes about 4 force closes to resolve. 2) If the game list doesn't load, nothing else loads either (Settings, PG Settings, About, etc)

Details: nVidia Shield: 7.1.0(29.6.259.0) APK: 8.1 from Play Store

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

@delize Unfortunately, the emulator is not really tailored to support network filesystems and that isn't really a priority at the moment. The Shield does support up to 256 GB sdcards, though.

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

Major bug on latest beta: when you enter the touchscreen gamepad editor if you try make any button bigger it gets all distorted on Android 7: screenshot_20180919-004428

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

Just the latest beta did this? Or did the one before it do it, too?

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

Not sure about the previous one because it didn't detect the bios but the resizing works fine in latest master 00ecf2f.

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

The betas are built automatically from master. Looks like there is nothing to do here then.

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

Not anymore apparently, latest beta version from playstore is r8.1-11-geacbae5b and the latest master still r7 00ecf2f: http://builds.reicast.com/

the bug is present in latest playstore beta but not in that master build.

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

And the changes are already submitted to resolve that.

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

Nice job mostly fixed but if you make the dpad big the right button goes all to the right: screenshot_20180920-132209

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

The specific code for that was more or less reverted to the way it was (for years). Are you actually trying to make the dpad that size to use it or was that just to find an issue? If it is just to find issues, it probably won't be addressed right away. After all, it doesn't seem like there is a lot of demand to make the dpad 1/2 the screen width in the last 3 years given the lack of reports about it.

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

Updated to latest beta: screenshot_20180926-234307

But Reicast now crashes or closes itself when pressing reicast settings on Android 7.

AbandonedCart commented 5 years ago

Interesting. It was build against and tested on two Android 7 devices.

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

Tried uninstall and install again but still can't enter the reicast settings, here is a quick video of the bug: https://youtu.be/d4E8Ak2-nd4

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

Updated to latest beta, sadly I still get the same settings bug so I can't configure the directories to play. Anyone else experiencing the same bug?

blackman91 commented 5 years ago

Updated to latest but bug is still there here is a log: screenshot_20180929-053201
