v1.8.1 release

- deal with google breaking compatibility with previous android release (every major breaks something).

To get the menu on the 1.8 release, touch the emulated lcd on the annunciator part : see 1.8.1 manual.pdf

There is a major bug with android 4.4.2: see

http://support.solidexplorer.pl/responses/kit-kat-442-issue

It seems that google changed some behavior related to a REAL external SD card plugged in a device.

Now a non google app can not write on it (so the bug you see)

On My nexus 7 as the 'external SD' is in fact a part of the internal flash, the apps still works.

I don't have any 4.4.2 device with a real sd slot to test. So all you can do is :

1 - root your device to gain back the previous behavior.

2 - see if you can redirect the goxx apps on the 'internal' sd ??

3 - avoid upgrading to 4.4.2 if you can.

I need to rethink the WHOLE behavior of import/export an a majority of goXX apps.

I am sorry for this problems, but they are related to google decisions ??

I will try to find a new way to do import/export ... DONE

v1.6.4 release

I made the following changes :

On kitkat device, import/export directory is now /Android/data/o2s.emul.hp41cx/files/... instead of /go41cx/... on the sdcard.

For android older then kitkat, nothing change.

You can download modules from Warren Furlow's site (modules and manuals).

then put .MOD file in your 'download' directory on your external storage area in your device.

For a quick test, download the 'MATH.MOD' below then use 'Import modules', then choose a port and choose the module. It must appear in 'CAT 2' function.

If you have difficulties to use this emulator, please tell me which device you have and which resolution is your screen.

If the lcd stay 'blank' and you have an android 4 device, please try to deactivate 'hardware acceleration' for the display (see in your preferences/development on your device).

You can try the go41c to test your device (and screen size).

If you have trouble, try to stop the application from 'parameters/application' adroid menu and restart it.

In last ressort, try to 'remove data' from 'Application management' tool.

New version of skin&overlay files at the bottom of the page.

Just for fun, I use an old PPC program to compute PI (1160 decimals in 15,5h)Using this program from hepax memory, I just finished 1560 decimals of pi in 22 minutes (max speed on a slow motorola defy) see files PJ.raw for the program, pivalue.png for output of the program and pilist.png for the listing. 1160 decimals takes 13 minutes (and with the printer active...)

How to navigate in Android data and find the data used by the App:

Due to new changes in Android (9+ I think) it became difficult to find the data saved by the app. It is due to claimed security concerns where the X app should not see the Y apps files (even the external one).

To correct this situation I recommend to use a good file explorer. Such as Total Commander from C. Ghilser.

With this tool, navigate to /storage/emulated/0/Android/data. You should see an entry called Installed Apps, select it and autorise the app to see all files downward.

Now you could go to the real directory data of go41cx which is at ///_Android_data/o2s.emul.hp41cx/files.

You can now write or read datas from this directory to put modules, raw files and so on.

Emulator loosely based on Non-Pareil from Eric Smith, font by Luiz C. Vieira.

Some files:

- HR.raw : High Roller game (with score on xmem, create a file 'HRs' of 2 regs with CRFLD)

- MATH.MOD: Math module

- Math01.ovl & Math02.ovl: overlays for MATH module (from Alexander Oestert)

- Overlays: more examples
