yes |

Sgeo |
So... what to do from here? Add similar support to saveat? |
|
00:06
🔗
|
Sgeo |
With vice-resid, we're downloading .d64s, which can be modified during emulation (just like modifying a disk). And it would be nice to be able to save emulator config too, and that's not downloaded from anywhere |
|
00:14
🔗
|
db48x |
yea, same with MAME |
|
00:16
🔗
|
db48x |
we could do it in saveat, but we should do it earlier than that |
|
00:17
🔗
|
db48x |
before we even download anything |
|
00:17
🔗
|
db48x |
that would save us from needlessly downloading the zips for a dos game as well |
|
00:20
🔗
|
Sgeo |
Need to be careful not to ignore currently existing saves |
|
00:25
🔗
|
db48x |
Sgeo: in fetch, we can compare the filename that we want to download with the names of the files already in indexdb |
|
00:25
🔗
|
db48x |
if it's already there, we just don't call fetch_file |
|
00:25
🔗
|
db48x |
we just skip it |
|
00:27
🔗
|
Sgeo |
db48x, are you going to implement or should I? |
|
00:27
🔗
|
Sgeo |
Also doesn't solve the config issue |
|
00:27
🔗
|
Sgeo |
Which we'd want across emulators, not per-page, so that needs more thought |
|
00:28
🔗
|
Sgeo |
(I'm not totally sure how the per-page stuff works, I just see in dev tools the db seems to be per page) |
|
00:28
🔗
|
db48x |
yes, indexdb is per-domain |
|
00:32
🔗
|
Sgeo |
Maybe a special /config/ part of the filesystem, that gets persisted in a per-domain way? |
|
00:32
🔗
|
Sgeo |
Actually, currently the joystick stuff would override the config file |
|
00:33
🔗
|
db48x |
the IALoader already has that feature |
|
00:33
🔗
|
db48x |
other users of the Emularity can supply something similar if they want |
|
00:34
🔗
|
db48x |
I'm not sure I could devise a solution that would work for everybody |
|
00:36
🔗
|
Sgeo |
I'm confused what you mean by IALoader having that feature. A place where a user changing a config file within the emulator will have it persisted for them? |
|
00:37
🔗
|
db48x |
oh, I see what you mean |
|
00:37
🔗
|
db48x |
if we modify fetch as I suggest, then that will happen automatically |
|
00:37
🔗
|
db48x |
IALoader will fetch a config file, but if one exists we won't download anything new |
|
00:38
🔗
|
db48x |
or the user will tell it to fetch a config file, and the same thing will happen |
|
00:39
🔗
|
Sgeo |
Hmm. That would require naming the config file somewhere though. |
|
00:39
🔗
|
db48x |
naturally |
|
00:39
🔗
|
Sgeo |
We're not doing that, but I guess we could switch to that approach. |
|
00:57
🔗
|
Sgeo |
db48x, is making a new file in / that isn't downloaded supposed to work? Just tried, it didn't seem to. Or does it need to be in /emulator/ ? |
|
00:58
🔗
|
Sgeo |
!!! storing it in /emulator/ just works |
|
00:59
🔗
|
Sgeo |
I would suggest changing VICE's current directory to be in /emulator/. We kill two birds in one stone: Easier to tell people to use F12 to flip disks (if we really, really hate Alt-N's lack of messaging) since they won't need to navigate to /emulator and creating new disks works fine |
|
00:59
🔗
|
Sgeo |
Without needing to navigate |

|
db48x |
sure, that sounds like a good idea |
|
01:03
🔗
|
db48x |
as for using indexdb correctly, it's the end of a long day for me |
|
01:03
🔗
|
db48x |
so I won't start working on it now |
|
01:04
🔗
|
db48x |
I'll try to look into it this weekend |
|

|

but if you want to try your hand at it, go ahead :) |

The function keys should just work as is. By default, C= is mapped to Tab, Ctrl is mapped to Ctrl, and numpad is joystick with 0 as fire, plugged in to control port 2 (which may be wrong for some games) |
