build-image/Dockerfile: add bison (VICE's configure needs a yacc-compatible
parser generator, same category as the earlier flex fix) and exclude
packageRelease/signReleaseBundle from the cache-warm stage's gradlew run,
since those always fail there for lack of a keystore that's never baked
into the image.
vice_jni.c: guard getFrameCount()/setSoundEnabled() with #ifdef
HAVE_VICE_SRC like their sibling functions already do — they referenced
globals that only exist when VICE is linked in, breaking the documented
no-VICE placeholder build. Only surfaced now because the cache-warm stage
is the first thing to ever compile this file without VICE.
dist.sh: floor the untagged dev-build's versionCode at 1, since the
0.0.0-dev+<sha> placeholder otherwise computes to 0, which Android's
Gradle plugin rejects.
run-image.sh: wipe generated build artifacts (vice-src, vice-libs,
nibtools-src/libs, app/build, .cxx) before each run so it exercises a true
from-scratch build like CI does, instead of silently reusing artifacts
left over from a previous local run. Also chown the bind-mounted repo back
to the host user on exit, since the container runs as root and was
otherwise leaving root-owned files behind.
runs dist.sh inside that local image via a bind mount, andcupload-image.sh pushes the already-built image.
The Dockerfile also warms the Gradle dependency cache in a throwaway build stage, and pre-installs
the pinned CMake version, so `run-image.sh` doesn't re-download the same Maven dependencies on every run.
dist.sh now strips the -pre+meta suffix before writing package.json's version, since Pebble's build
tooling parses it strictly as X.Y.Z integers and was rejecting suffixed versions.
VICE's configure.ac uses AC_PROG_LEX, which needs flex — missing from
the build image caused a late, confusing "Could not find either flex
or lex!" failure deep inside configure. Add it to the Dockerfile and
to build_vice.sh's own preflight tool check so a missing flex fails
fast with a clear error. Bump build-image/VERSION to 2.
(semver drives Android versionCode/versionName and package.json). The
build-image/ Dockerfile pins the same toolchain for a portable,
containerized Gitea Actions runner (build-image.sh builds and pushes
it) so releases don't depend on any one machine's local setup.
Pushing vX.Y.Z now builds and publishes a Gitea Release automatically.
- Cross-compile nibtools for Android NDK; download all 8 episode disks
from the Internet Archive C64 Preservation Project as NBZ and convert
to G64 via JNI (throwaway-pthread to contain nibconv's exit() calls)
- Bundle manual transcription as APK asset; 📖 button opens scrollable
viewer with Seite→Absatz→Zeile→Wort lookup hierarchy documented
Commodore ROMs are copyrighted and can no longer ship inside the APK.
MainActivity now detects missing ROMs on first launch and blocks
startup with a dialog offering two paths: pick files via the system
file picker, or download the official VICE 3.8 tarball and extract the
four ROMs from it client-side (minimal USTAR reader, no extra deps).
- Drop the extractViceRoms Gradle task and asset bundling; add
res/extract_roms.sh for local sideloading during development instead
- gitignore keystores/keystore.properties ahead of a signed release
- Move architecture.md into docs/, refresh it for the screen-mirroring
and watch-input additions, and add accompanying Mermaid diagrams
- Add docs/debugging.md and docs/publish.md (Play Store release notes,
ROM-import compliance rationale)
Mirrors the C64 text screen to the Pebble watch (with game-specific
umlaut handling), adds a SELECT-triggered key wheel for sending
navigation input back to the emulator, shows a splash screen on watch
launch, and documents the resulting end-to-end architecture.
machine_write_snapshot reads maincpu_regs.pc to record the current
program counter. When called directly from video_canvas_refresh,
maincpu_regs is stale — the CPU loop keeps registers as stack-local
variables and only syncs them to maincpu_regs inside DO_INTERRUPT via
EXPORT_REGISTERS(). The snapshot therefore recorded the wrong PC.
On restore (already trap-based), the wrong PC was faithfully written
back into reg_pc via IMPORT_REGISTERS(), causing the CPU to resume at
a bad address. The game screen looked correct (memory/VIC/SID state
all restored) but the CPU never reached the input-polling code, so
button presses had no effect.
Fix: route machine_write_snapshot through interrupt_maincpu_trigger_trap
so DO_INTERRUPT(IK_TRAP) calls EXPORT_REGISTERS() before the trap
function, capturing the true current PC before the snapshot is written.
Pencil button next to each hero disk opens an editor dialog that parses
the D64 directly, lists all PRG save files in a spinner, and lets the
user adjust all nine stats (Vitalität, grade, six percentage stats) with
+/− buttons. Changes to multiple heroes in one session are written back
together on Save.
PETSCII decoding now distinguishes unshifted (0x41–0x5A → lowercase) from
shifted (0xC1–0xDA → uppercase) so names display in natural mixed case
(e.g. "Mark" instead of "MARK").
D64 sector layout helpers extracted to class level so createBlankD64 and
the new editor share the same offset function. Save format documented in
res/HELD_D64_FORMAT.md. Editor strings localised in EN/DE.
- Reset button (left of Sound) ejects disk and power-cycles the C64
to BASIC without reloading — loadedADisks is cleared so episode
buttons trigger autostart again on next press
- A-side episode disks that were already loaded now hot-swap instead
of resetting the machine; use Reset explicitly when a cold start
is needed (fixes unintended reset when returning from hero disk)
- Virtual keyboard Shift is now a toggle: tap SHF to lock shift on
(key stays highlighted), tap again to release — no multi-touch
required to type capital letters
- Remove android:background from C64DisplayView: SurfaceView's XML
background painted over the surface, hiding all rendered content
- Fix pixel byte order: copyPixelsFromBuffer reads [R,G,B,A] bytes, so
physical colors must be packed as ABGR (not ARGB) to avoid R/B swap
- Fix six wrong C64 keyboard matrix positions (1, 2, Q, E, R, Y) taken
from the authoritative VICE hardware matrix table
Assets (ROMs and disk images) now live in getExternalFilesDir, making
them accessible via USB file transfer and any file manager app without
adb or root.
- "Import ROMs" button walks through kernal/basic/chargen picks in
sequence and restarts the emulator when done
- "Import Disks" button opens a multi-select picker; files are saved
as SCHWUM<N><P>.D64 (uppercased for consistent lookup)
- 2×4 episode grid (1A–4B) lights up each button as its disk image
becomes available; tapping loads that disk into drive 8
Cross-compiles VICE 3.8 headless for ARM64 and x86_64 as part of the
Android Studio build (Gradle buildVice task + build_vice.sh). The JNI
bridge (vice_jni.c) renders frames into a shared framebuffer read by
C64DisplayView, and forwards key events from C64KeyboardView to VICE's
keyboard matrix. Without ROM files the app shows a placeholder blue
screen; with ROMs and a .d64 disk image the full C64 emulator runs.
