For Sale USED Freeway USB cards - Official Thread

[Boing-ball]

Hello!

I know ... not a tech thread, still ...
Will a USB keyboard/mouse also work in WHDLoad-ed games from the harddrive ?

(assumption A2000 system, booted, USB drivers loaded, using accelerator card like "Fat Olga" or similar)

Thx.

It depends. Whdload can be picky with USB devices in general. In most instances you have to stop the USB stack or you will just get a black screen when starting a Whdload game. From what I’ve also read, Amiga games still require the native hardware to work properly. So Keyboard, mouse and joystick being used from there appropriate ports.

Would you expect most games which disable the OS to support USB devices controlled by OS drivers?

Well, the problem is that most games are coded for stock A500 system, usage of interrupts wasn't correctly implemented, now exactly this is causing our problems when network or USB are used: game gets interrupted by different (USB) code, and when control gets returned - nothing happens - it just doesn't go further and hangs on black screen...

In other words - USB is great for quick data transfers, printers, scanners, ZIF Drives, CD-ROMS etc, but not ideal for playing games. Other devices like TOM+, MouSTer, or HID2AMI might fit these needs much better...

Essentially just use USB for mass storage but not for anything else. This is where decades of banging the hardware has got us. In my opinion.
