"Try it now" web emulator limitations

[SebastianVoges]

Sorry, late to reply here, but it looks like everything got covered ?

 I think it would be good to list the supported file extensions on the the upload page if possible. And/or a link to a document/sticky forum post. On the web-emulator I can be more pro-active and put out a visible dialog/warning if the webemulator is not able to load/find a file at startup, at least it will be easier to pinpoint what went wrong. (Right now it will log it in the javascript console, but I assume most people will never look at it)

Lastly i looked a bit into the case sensitivity issue from the web emulators perspective. I could make the WebEmulators file-system case-insensitive, so it would work more like as it does on Windows. I will give it a try

I probably can make those changes over the weekend and also update the webemulator to the latest r38 release.

 

Cheers, 

Sebastian

Now I will! )

The important thing is how the casing work on real X16. Would be logical to have same casing on real hardware, web emulator and desktop emulator.

Sounds great, thanks Sebastian. If you wanted to make a "how to" post that you/we could keep updated and post it at https://www.commanderx16.com/forum/index.php?/forum/27-x16-how-tos/ that would be great, and we can link to it as part of the upload process. Thanks in advance.
