Video freezes P-UAE Core

Libretro Cores
#1

Hi. Thanks to the wonderful advances in this core I’m finally able to run some games easier than WinUAE.

If I want to use a very keyboard intensive game (like King’s Quest) I press the ScrollLock key to switch “Game Focus on” in my keyboard and the video freezes. Funny, the audio is still playing. If I play repeatedly either ScrollLock key or Esc, Retroarch crashes. Nothing relevant in the logs, but if needed, I can generate one.

This happened with both WHDLoad files and ADF files.

This behaviour does not happen with others cores like MAME or Mesen.

Anyone else is experiencing this?

P-UAE Core: Latest version Retroarch Version: 1.7.5 OS: Windows 10 64 bits Video driver: gl Audio driver: dsound Core options: all of them are default

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Just tested and looked into the code. It seems that ScrollLock key is mapped to a function to inhibit drawing within the core… It should not because it’s incompatible with focus function of RetroArch.

Anyway, controls need to be improved/redone in this core (there’s some other issues)…

Edit : I’ve submitted a quick patch to fix this (https://github.com/libretro/libretro-uae/pull/47).

WOW, that was fast. I’ll try it as soon as possible.

Many, many thanks.
