how sc3000/sk1100 keyboard works?
Post Posted: Sun Jul 16, 2017 7:47 pm
since http://www.smspower.org/Development/Keyboard is still empty, and i can’t get any clue of the keyboard part from https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/mame/drivers/sg1000.cpp , do anyone know how sc3000/sk1100 keyboard works, or where from can we get some useful information?
thanks in advance! :)

In the Development/Documents section there is a file made by Charles MacDonald that contains notes on SC-3000 and related systems.

Also see page 197, 198, 202 etc of the SF-7000 manual

Unfortunately we don't have a better scan viewer for large documents at the moment :/

Apart from something approaching a PDF viewer, what do we lack? I'd rather link to HTML documentation anyway - I'm just leaving the production of that in the backlog.

(
Clicking on thumbnail or prev/next reloads the page layout, for large vertically-ey image it's rather unnatural to flip pages this way.
Maybe for big manuals we could provide a .zip file download (ideally)?

I see the images as a reference and source for a text based format, rather than a zip preview. The viewer does not scale well to large documents, though. Maybe some JavaScript refinement would be nice, but I've never seen a good viewer for this sort of thing - pages are not conformable to the web.

thanks! btw, about the pdf, .zip files with pictures named in alphanumeric sequence can be renamed to .cbz (an excellent format for e-books and presentations, btw...), and then converted to .pdf - there are scripts (like https://github.com/charlax/cbz2pdf ) that does this kind of task

Converting to PDF is not hard, but I'm usually making effort to go the other way and break images out of that prison. Anything to encourage people never to install Adobe Reader...

i’m not sure if Chromium, Chrome, and some other web browsers come with pdf reading feature by default - most of the pdf files i found online i read on Chromium
