Hey mate, yes LFT as a company is no more, but I can still access the store listing, sign the APK with the LFT key, and update it on Play Store. Happy to try to resurrect the Github and pull requests. I sent you a PM with my contact details, let's get this show back on the road. Whilst we're here, h...

It's open source. Do whatever you want with it. I'll not pass comment further on the tone of this.

Bit early yet. Would be good to get a requests/bugfixes website together, where the most popular features/bugs can trickle to the top. Any ideas for what to use for that?

Thanks for inviting us and making us so welcome.

tricky wrote:Does this mean no more beebdroid updates?

Reuben's intent is to make the web app so good that you don't need a native app. Having said that, the native app could be replaced with a smart wrapper to the web app, to save you clicking the URL, and to remove the browser chrome.

Thanks to RISC OS User Group Of London for letting me and Reuben talk shit about eighties software development tonight. Reuben's latest BBC Micro emulator is semi-publicly available here. Mobile-friendly, browser-based, open it in your mobile's browser. Early days, but give it a shot. http://bit.ly/...

Hey, author here. I don't remember how this was done now, but Arcadian has all my source code disks so might be able to assist? The tape and disk protection were done later by (different) others, so the protection won't be on those disks. There's certainly no hidden levels on the disk version, sorry...

Not aware of this emulator bug. Can you point me to a reference somewhere? Ideally the code checkin.

It can basically load anything from STH, but the list of available games is hardcoded on STH. It's about 30 at the moment. Then the emulator needs to map keys. We're hoping to improve this process soon.

I've (*) just added Football Manager and Twin Kingdom Valley, they didn't require an update to the app. Any others, shout

(*) or rather, Dave Moore helpfully uploaded the updated available files list to stairwaytohell so the app can see it.

Hi y'all. Having a bit of downtime, I'm going through the email requests for games to be added to Beebdroid for Android. The master list of games is incidentally hosted here on STH. If there's anything you want, please provide the link to the disk image and the cover art, cheers!

No reinstall required. None of the games are held on Beebdroid. It always reloads the index from STH. Talking of which, if anyone wants to update the index and send me key mappings, I'm happy to publish an update.

Duncan. Two words. Pull request!

Ahem... a year later I just saw this? Beebdroid is open source but we've never had a pull request from anyone, and there are none outstanding now. If people want to make changes and get them merged in, go right ahead. Most requested features are to load your own disks, and to nao your own keyboard l...

Yeah man! Thieves. Yeah, right...thieves hey! *tsk* *tsk* [-X :roll: :lol: :D Cheers, Dave Hoskins - author of Ghouls! :mrgreen: ROFL! Technically correct though that they're the thieves - it's A&B's copyright, bought from me for a total of one hundred and fifty British pounds. Was a lot of money t...

There's no reason it shouldn't work on the KF, but you'll need to bork it so you can install from other locations. You can change the KF so it has Android Market, then it should just appear.

We intend to finally put it on Github and open-source it this week, so anyone who thinks they can improve the speed of it is welcome to try. Additional features like Master support can be added too, by anyone who feels like it

So we have analytics in Beebdroid, so we know what you're playing. And here's the top 20 since launch. Any surprises? I think I expected Repton to be higher.

Beebdroid's official launch is at Replay Expo on Android Market at midday, but since Beebdroid accesses StairwayToHell to get its software lists, please enjoy free early access from your Android phone at http://littlefluffytoys.com/bd.apk ! We need your help to catalogue and provide key mappings for...

It won't be removed from Android Market unless a rights holder can prove their interest to Google. None of this "we think we might own it" nonsense. So if that happened, then if nothing else, this would at least show the emulator community who owns them legally.

Calling games authors and rights holders! We're about to launch Beebdroid, the BBC Micro emulator for Android, at Replay Expo next month. Go check out the time-limited beta at http://www.littlefluffytoys.com , bundled with some games for testing purposes. Are you a Beeb author, or do you own rights ...

It probably won't run on the Desire. It's too old and slow. You need a modern fast Android phone. When we ported B-Em from Linix, it was running at about 7 frames per second on a Nexus S. It's been optimised to hell already. Not much further room for improvement. Sorry :-) @Dave: sound should be OK....

Hey y'all. Beebdroid, the BBC Micro emulator for Android, is now available to everyone on time-limited public beta. Give it a go and let us know what you think. Go check it out here: http://www.littlefluffytoys.com/?p=441 Due for release at Replay Expo, assuming Dave gets his arse in gear and announ...

OK the alpha's available for anyone that wants it - email support@littlefluffytoys.com and we'll send you it!

You know, I'd love someone to take on Klepto Kapers and work out what I was trying to do and develop the game I was thinking of.....

Nexus and desire both 1ghz, and support multi touch, problem with them is that they have got an odd hardware bug that really only effects games and not normal multi touch apps. Anyway look forward to an install and try on Saturday :) I know exactly how they don't support multitouch properly because...

Have you tested on any Nexus or Desires yet ? They both have the problematic multi-touch. Be interesting to see how some of these games perform when more than one screen press is active. If you've not tested then as mentioned I've got a Desire and will be at the "in da 80's" on Saturday. You might ...

This looks great!

Sam.

Go on, you can admit to seeing the previews over the last few weeks

Was told to post this to two threads..... My Android consultancy Little Fluffy Toys Ltd is launching the alpha of Beebdroid for Android at In Da 80s on Saturday, based on B-Em and written by my codirector Reuben Scratton. If you have an Android phone, or better still a Honeycomb tablet, bring it alo...

And guess what, people - bring your Android phone or tablet, and I'll put our alpha release of Beebdroid on it. Yes... we're releasing the alpha test version of Beebdroid on Saturday, but only to attendees!
