Good job "arg274" for keeping this thread up-to-date with the features the users requested.

We need 1 or 2 more developer to work only with the feature request and let the rest of the developers focus on getting the compatibility up. This is a huge request list and adding all this will take a while, so in my opinion is better to add the most important and "good looking" features first.

*Adding hotkeys to configure the entire emulator to your likings like Snes9x and DeSmuME can do, it is extremely handy and imho should be the first priority.

*Adding a preview/screenshot to the save states to see a nice little picture of the game you just saved, like pressing "F1" will bring the save state menu and pressing "F12" will bring the load state menu to resume were you left off, just like Zsnes, Snes9x (for Mac) and ScummVM can do. This is a pretty "good looking" feature that users will love.

When I download a new version, I have to move the memstick folder to the folder of the new version.
It would be better if the PPSSPP_STATE folder were not in memstick folder, newer versions do not support save states from older versions.

I have some comments about the requests.

Quote:4#Add support for configuring hotkeys [req. by Done!,xemnas(twice),Squall,Niyawa,cyclonmaster,xZabuzax,vsub_]
12#Make the ESC menu mappable to another key [req. by arg274,xZabuzax(twice)]

18#???Make the analog stick move freely??? [req. by sowonforever09]
23#Add a control layout editor for Android [req. by ppssppftw,hsark,droidforwwver]

These are redundant requests.

Quote:9#Add an option to associate *.iso,*.cso,*.prx,*.pbp,*.elf with PPSSPP as for launching games directly [req. by FinalBlast]

Windows can do it easily.

Quote:10#Add option to toggle between DInput and XInput with a hotkey [req. by FinalBlast]

What is it for?

Quote:64#Add an option to change the aspect ratio (4:3 for PSP?yuck!) [req. by cruiseon09]

Useless and cannot be done, because it would have to cut part of the image or to compress the image horizontally.

Quote:22#Add a -10 preset for FPS limit [req. by theFan]

Is it an option to play slowly and make the game easier?

Quote:57#Add an option to display the errors inside the emu window (PC) [req. by vsub_]

It is not clear.

Quote:9#Add external language pack loading support for the GUI to reduce the PPSSPP executable size(yeah,I know that its very hard as the GUI uses bruteforce)

It is already in the emulator. There is folder called lang.

Quote:12#Add region choosing support

What is it for?

Quote:24#Add a check for updates option

It is annoying when it is automatic.

Quote:35#Add sounds when a button is pressed in ingame MsgBoxes or SaveData Dialog boxes

I had asked it previously in another thread.

Quote:37#Add an option to use the PGF fonts of flash0 in ingame MsgBoxes an SaveData Dialogs

Those fonts are terrible.

Quote:52#Add support for enabling/disabling CWCHEATS while ingame using a menu without editing the .ini (will be useful for touch-based devices)

Enabling/disabling is already implemented. Now it needs a GUI to insert and remove cheats code.

Quote:12#Make the ESC menu mappable to another key [req. by arg274,xZabuzax(twice)]

BTW, i have to clarify that this request means mapping the "Back" hotkey to the keyboard (you already can do this) and also to the "right-click" of the mouse, i made several examples of this already in this thread.

If anyone have used the PC-Engine emulator "MagicEngine" you will know what i'm talking about.

I was talking about the msgbox you get when you try to load a save state on game that don't have save state.

We also get message in the game window,so why msgbox too(which is pausing the emulator until you close it)

And 3 more requests:
1.Add save state version number like on pcsx2...save states from different ppsspp version almost always make ppsspp crash\freeze,so show a message if we are trying to load such save states and don't load them.

2.While the menu is active,pressing the button which brings the menu to act as "Continue"...it's such a pain to go back all the way to continue if you are in some deep sub screen(menu)

3.Async audio...work really good on a lot of games with pcsx2

Clarifications are given respectively-
1.No Comment
2.U9#Windows can do it,but it will be easy to setup the associations with one click.also,useful for noobs.
3.U10#this one will no longer be reqiured after the ppsspp UI can be configured using an xbox controller
4.U64#i agree with u,totally useless
5.U22#the answer would b YES,but low priority
6.U57#there are quite errors on ppsspp like savestate failures and wait for emuthread which pop up outside of the window.quite disturbing...
7.M9#no,not all characters are viewable on ppsspp.atleast not my native language...
8.M12#very few games of psp r region locked,low priority
9.M24#this will redirect the browser to buildbot.even if it is automated,it should only be used to notify new stable builds.
10.M35#Glad 2 hear that.more psp-ish
11.M37#i use my psp's flash0 fonts instead of the default ones.plus,it will give u the access of choosing any font if u know how to use ctftool gui
12.M52#i also meant to add an ingame GUI

1.partially implemented
2.this one is okay
3.as henrik said,pcsx2 is a different beast

okay,u posted the 1st one b4,but is it possible to configure ppsspp with so many options?.and yeah,maybe i should sort according to num. of requesters...

It is possible but most of the users will only map the hotkeys they are interested in, i mean just look at DeSmuME, that emulator is also full of options and you can configure all of them via hotkeys.

(05-06-2013 08:36 AM)arg274 Wrote:  12#Make the ESC menu mappable to another key (especially the right click on PCs)

It is the "Back" key dude, not "ESC".

"ESC" will bring you to the menu but if you press "ESC" again it will stay in the menu. The "Back" key will bring you to the menu and if you press it again it will get back to the game.

I think the default "ESC" should just be removed and be replaced with the "Back" key by default. There's really no reason to have 2 options doing the same thing...

Edit:

This is the "Back" key i'm talking about, it should also be added to the "right-click" of the mouse.

[vsub_]

Or maybe the Esc key to act as I suggested above...first press bring the menu,second press act as clicking on the continue button(the back key almost do that)

When you are in some sub screen\menu,rather that pressing back multiple times,pressing Esc once will resume the game

[DarkWolf]

Can i ask here fix for the duel in YGO TF3 and the black screen in R&C SM ?
If not then ignore my comment please.

@xZabuzax and vsub_
i'll update them later

[theonyxphoenix]

What about a reset to default button for the controller mapping option?

[lainiwaku]

For Directinput, (gamepad)
it would be great to use the second analog stick of a gamepad as the arrow !

[uruhara12]

my gamepad is not working anymore please add again the controller settings in menu bar

[vsub_]

They are adding it right now...the direct input(maybe xinput too)is just not working right now.
