Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

  Quote   Mclout99, let me know if your Keytronics mouse works with this version!


Still an issue but slightly better.  One suggestion/request, if you could make the selections from one roll to the next stick it would be better for gameplay but worse for anyone having that issue I have with my Keytronics mouse. If you are rolling for a goal of say full house you tend to roll the same few dice to try to get it. Not a deal-breaker though. Thanks.  I wonder what it is with that damn Keytroinics mouse it is REALLY OLD but still works.

Dang! How about with a different mouse? Is yours a Waveshare board? I finally got around to hooking up and updating the Retromax, which is also a 480mhz CPU....no issues.

I will look into adding an on/off selector for sticky dice picks.

@mclout999

Are you only having issues with dice selecting now? If so, I might see how to fix that....apart from making them sticky.

With that mouse only (so not that important) any selection of any buttons or die can give two clicks. Like I said it is a little less likely to bounce but not by much. I do only mean for them to be sticky after the roll is hit so you don't have to reselect them over again. Thanks.

After winning, game asks for pressing right button. But i have no right button (nunchuk), "R"egame doesn't work. I can only quit the game.
The lower part of the side flickers sometimes.

Oops! Broke that trying to fix something else...fixed now. Use the 'C' button to select quit or rematch.

@mclout999 - try this and tell me if it's any better!

Thanks

Some news that may infuriate you as it did me. I found another Keytronics mouse and tested it and initially it was having some of the same key bounce issues and I had a hunch seeing as they are ancient and unused for YEARS I disassembled it and cleaned the microswitches with some IPA and LOW AND BEHOLD it works just fine now,(my bad) It seems likely there was a bit of oxidation inside the microswitches. On the first mouse, It was misbehaving for a few moments on the last update, and then I kind of grided on the button for a while and it started working but I could not be sure.  When I got the second one out and it behaved the same way I was sure of it.  Sorry for misdirecting you down MY RABBIT HOLE.  Lesson learned, old as hell equipment = do some maintenance first or suspect the device before the software.

As always Thanks.
