piKey 0.3 and PSPWrite

[EasyLay]

Hi,

Couldn't get Pikey 0.4 to work so went back to 0.3 which works ok - can control the xmb and webbrowser text input from the keyboard

My problem is that PSPWrite doesn't seem to work. I launch the app and it freezes at the splash screen. Any ideas anyone? I haven't modified any of the files that installed with PSPWrite - do I need to update a config file?

I am using PSPWrite 1.0.5, using firmware 3.52 m33-4. There are two plugins enabled - the pikey GAME and VSH ones

thanks in advance

Hold 'select' down for 10 seconds as PSPWrite loads. That will disable piKey.

piKey and PSPWrite conflict with each other, a bug ZX81 and I will fix together!

Have fun mate!

Thanks for your continued support - you are doing great work

Yeah... er thanks for the information I didn't know?

Have there been any developments with Pikey since I last posted here?

If you remember, I can get PIkey 0.3 working with PSPWrite but not PIkey 0.4 (it freezes PSPWrite at the splash screen)

this is a bummer, as I would really like the key-repeat ;(

I've succesfully compiled PSPWrite with key repeats and I've made the feel of it perfect! It's a shame that ZX-81 doesn't really like my idea.

Anyway, I plan to release my version of PSPWrite and auto piKey disabler.

I'll release all my code to ZX81 so he can copy it.

Hi there,

I was just wondering if any work had been done with getting key repeats?

Happy new year!

[Angelo]

Haha! My friend, it's bundled in with Unofficial piKey 0.5

In Unofficial piKey 0.5, I've created a version of PSPSWrite with key repeats and the latest drivers.

Moreover, I've added a few lines in the 0.5 release so that if a ZX-81 aplication is detected it automatilcy exits the piKey thread, meaning that it won't freeze anymore.

Have fun!
