One small issue, I don't understand what the propose of the "auto-rotate" option in the layout menu is for, since all modes rotate anyway, and auto-rotate is not an opposite option to fill screen for instance, so should't the rotation behaviour be a setting by itself ?

Last point on emu42, anyway to include the low-end 10b/20s/21s ? I think Christoph was working on this ?

Re emu48, are the timing issues on the way for fixing ? Any such timer issues on emu42 ? Didn't see any so far, but didn't test a lot...

The LCD chars on the 32SII are straight, whereas on the original they are slanted. Anyway to get the same thing ? Is it because of the code or the kml ?

I already published the application version 1.0 in my web site and in Google Play store.

For the moment, the "Layout" options is single choice list:
* None: to put display the whole calculator in the screen whatever the device orientation.
* Auto Rotation (default): to automatically rotate the screen to match the ratios of the device screen and the calculator.
* Auto Zoom: usefull for the clamshell calculator, it zooms the right part of the calculator if the ratios of the device screen and the calculator do not match.
* Fill Screen: whatever the orientation, the calculator is extended to the edges of the screen.

You right, it is still not yet perfect.
The auto-rotate option forces the Android orientation to Portrait or Landscape (left or right following the sensor).

For the next version 1.1,
I could add an other "Rotation" option with a single choice list:
* Allow rotation
* Portrait
* Landscape (left or right following the sensor)

And the option "Layout/Auto Rotation" could be constraint by the option "Rotation".


The original emulator Emu42 of Christoph Giesselink does not include the Emu10 emulation, so this application either.


When trying to port Emu71, I had to change the timer engine in the Win32 layer, so Emu42 version 1.0 already have it, and the future Emu48 version 1.4 will have it.
Form what I can see, it fix the issue about the stuck annonciator. The clock seems unsynchronized sometimes but it is synchronized again when you leave and start again the application.

I did not pay attention to this slanted LCD chars on the 32SII. But it is the way Christoph did it, and I'm not ready to modify its source code.
His work is already fantastic. And to me, it sounds difficult to display a pixel as a parallelogram instead of a square!
