Changing the Keyboard Layout to something other than "US" may scramble the Virtual-Key Codes, strangely enough. The Virtual-Key Codes of Microsoft Windows, that are independent of differences in keyboard hardware, turn out not to be independent of the choice of Keyboard Layout.With this change, all ports can use the same platform independent event loop, as described above.
Mini vmac for mac os x manual#
Mini vMac used to use a standard Carbon event loop with a complicated system of timer events only because a manual event loop didn't get quite as good performance. The same fix actually also applies to Carbon.(Apple has declared Carbon very, very deprecated.) This allows matching the performance of the Carbon version, making the Cocoa version more ready for prime time. In the Cocoa port, when the platform dependent code checks for events, rather than using a time out value, it turns out there is a bit less overhead to check for events, sleep, and then check for events again.To minimize glitches in sound output when emulation starts, stops, or just isn't running fast enough, the sound call back functions in the various Macintosh versions and the SDL version will now try to play an appropriate transition in each of these circumstances.The exact situations this happens varies for each platform. A visible consequence of this is that the emulation will now stop running in certain circumstances when it used to continue running, such as during the open disk image dialog. Instead of the platform dependent code calling a routine to emulate one tick (sixtieth of a second) whenever appropriate, the main loop of the program is now in platform independent code, which periodically calls platform dependent code to check for events. To make Mini vMac simpler and more maintainable, the interaction between platform dependent code and platform independent code has been changed a bit.Changed URL displayed in about screen to " ".
