Via the Controller Preferences, simply auto- magically assign buttons with any generic HID compliant USB or Bluetooth game controller. Why restrict yourself to just the keyboard? Although it is not a requirement, OpenEmu is best used with a peripheral gamepad or controller to interact with your games. Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start OpenEmu uses a modular architecture, allowing for game-engine plugins, allowing OpenEmu to support a host of different emulation engines and back ends while retaining the familiar macOS native front end. One third-party library example is Sparkle, which is used for auto-updating. The project leverages modern macOS technologies, such as Cocoa, Core Animation with Quartz Composer, and other third-party libraries. That's about it.OpenEmu is an open source project whose purpose is to bring macOS game emulation into the realm of first class citizenship. The screen separation stuff isn't something we'll support. Rotation is definitely needed for those games that make you do so. Can side-by-side be supported the same way as the current Display Mode change method? Though I'm not really too concerned about side-by-side. So he probably isn't aware that the 'Display Mode' hotkey is available to all users since the 1.0 release last December and no longer a debug-only thing (more details here … play-Mode).Īnyway, rogerman, if you need me to add a ROT90/180/270 to the API I can do that. FYI, rogerman and I usually communicate via IRC and we haven't done so in quite some time. It almost comes off as pestering, which certainly won't move things along. Matt, whether you're intentionally doing it or not, the language you're using ('limbo' or 'stalemate') and the way you've presented this issue (as 'he said, they said') makes it sound as if there is some kind of back-and-fourth conflict, when there really isn't.

All of the features that you seem to want already exist in the official Mac version. It will always be ahead of OpenEmu in terms of features. If you do need certain features that OpenEmu doesn't provide, then you are always welcome to use the official Mac version.

Screen separation: No API, no OpenEmu UI, and no plug-in code Screen rotation: No OpenEmu UI (this is purely a frontend issue) Side-by-side screens (horizontal layout): No OpenEmu UI (this is purely a frontend issue) Display mode change: No OpenEmu UI (only exists as a hotkey in debug mode) So here's a summary of mentioned display features that aren't supported and why: So don't expect to see this feature coming to OpenEmu anytime soon! After OpenEmu does those things, then there is the effort to make our plug-in work with it. In the case of OpenEmu, it would take some reengineering effort just to support this feature in the first place, and then they would have to create a UI for it and additional API so that we could hook into it. In this, OpenEmu fails to meet Requirement #2.Īs for the separation of screens, all three requirements are not met for this feature. However, if the end user is not using debug mode (and most don't use debug mode), then the ability to change display mode will not be exposed to the end user. In fact, OpenEmu's clobber helped me get into OpenEmu's debug mode to test out this particular feature via a hotkey. And that link you used to suggest what code that we should add to our plug-in? That code was mine. OpenEmu's frontend simply doesn't support all of DeSmuME's features.įor example, if we look at the extra display modes, all of that code is already in the DeSmuME plug-in, so we have met Requirement #3. So let's get back to the question: Who's holding up the support for DeSmuME features in OpenEmu? Is it us or is it them?Īnswer: It's them. Remember, it takes two to tango at this party! If the other person refuses to dance, then it won't be very fun, will it? If all three of these requirements are not met, then it does not matter how many whiz-bang features DeSmuME has - OpenEmu won't support them. The existence of the actual feature in our plug-in's code. A UI feature in OpenEmu that exposes the feature to the end user (could be a drop-down menu, button, hotkey, etc.). An API that allows the plug-in to hook our code into OpenEmu's. Matt, there seems to be some misunderstandings with who has what responsibility, so let me explain.įor a plug-in architecture like OpenEmu, there are three things that our plug-in needs to do OpenEmu in order to integrate with it.
