The emulator is the one thing that gets massive amounts of downloads. It's also rather large. Bandwidth on the server side can be expensive. Github has a lot more capacity than ordinary web hosting services.

is there a 32 bit version for the x16 emulator?

HI !!

I just download the emulator running it on Linux. In general; all is good. But I like to switch to the German keyboard, right from the start. So I add the "-keymap de" option. This is accepted by the emulator, but the mapping isn't perfect e.g. z & y are still US like. But If I press F9 key in the emulator I can choose de-de. After the mapping is correct ! But using de-de as a -keymap paramter isn't accepted by the emulator.

Is this a bug or did I done something wrong ?

thanks

Juergen

Maybe the parameter would be "-keymap de-de". At least for the Swiss layout it's "de-ch". Cannot test it right now.

Nop ... de-de isn't offered as console parameter only de; and I try it wasn't accepted.

But I found the solution in the BASIC docu. Create the autoboot.x16 file

10 KEYMAP"DE-DE"

SAVE"AUTOBOOT.X16

This seems to work!

thanks

Not an official one. But someone did make an unofficial 32-bit recompile of it. I think it's mentioned here, in the context of Windows XP? Try the forum's search function.

Thanks. It works very well. ?

I only added a second line to clear all.

Otherwise the program stays in memory.

That gives:

10KEYMAP"FR-FR"

20NEW

SAVE"AUTOBOOT.X16
