I've even opened a window with the HP50 image at the same time, but it would of course be much better being able to really 'use' the HP50 keyboard (as in the usual emulator).
Would it be hard to implement KML scripting (incl. a HP50 BMP) into your simulator?

Good to hear the installer works.
I see what you mean, I often open the 50g picture from Wikipedia in my browser, has a nice resolution and you can read all keys just fine.
At one point I started creating a blank image of the 50g keyboard, to print the newRPL labels on. But the project took more than a weekend, so it was abandoned.
Implementing KML scripts is probably not too hard, but it's a whole project on its own. I'm not sure it's reasonable for me to spend too much time on the simulator, I'd rather spend the little time I have on the newRPL core.
