I appreciate most of the traffic on the group, and especially all the efforts of those who helped improve this amazing device.
I think a "standard" configurable interface for all cores is a great idea.

Subject: Re: [chameleon_64] Chameleonâs cores unified user experience
Hoi,
Oh sure we could ban random people. However I don't like banning people
just because they have a different opinion. Especially if they express
it in a honest and (relative) polite manner.
The description of the group:
"This list is for bug reports, questions and feature requests for the
Turbo Chameleon cartridge for the Commodore 64. It provides VGA
connector, REU emulation, virtual drive and turbo mode all in one
cartridge." says nothing about exclusivity for the main C64 core. In my
option "feature requests" would include alternative platforms and I
would personally would not call that "spam" at all. That said I have at
least 4 alternative cores on my name so I might be slightly biased ;-)
Creating multiple discussion groups does not have my preference
(implying even more moderation work for me? No thank you!).
Mark, we as TC64 community invited you here and you are very welcome. Do
not get upset because one individual expresses an alternative opinion.
Spider, sorry I don't agree with you. I want all developers and
beta-testers in the same group to have the maximum use of all available
knowledge and saves time by not need to repeat postings. Maybe (but
maybe) when we have left beta stage we can create an additional group
for just C64 end-users and keep only the developers here. I don't want
to play moderator on too many separate groups. My hobby time is already
limited.
Thanx,

Hi,
while this is probably a good idea, it would be really cool if you could
discuss this and everything concerning cores other than the C64 core
somewhere else...
All the atari core talk that took place here already felt very much like
spam to me, because this goes to my email and I like to keep things
sorted here.
I think it's okay when someone once in a while anounces a new core or
someone asks how to install one etc... but personally I'd like this list
to be focused on the C64 core and beta testing.
Of course this is just my opinion and if there are a lot of people
thinking differently it will be okay for me.
Cheers,
spider.
Post by jugac64-***@public.gmane.org [chameleon_64]I am thinking about how to improve the usability and standardize
the user experience when using the Chameleon with the several cores.
Post by jugac64-***@public.gmane.org [chameleon_64]I believe that with small changes on the cores it would be easier
to learn how to use the Chameleon for newcomers and move from one
core to another.
Post by jugac64-***@public.gmane.org [chameleon_64]- All the cores should reset to core 0 when right blue button is
pressed > 0.6seg
Post by jugac64-***@public.gmane.org [chameleon_64]- Common key mapping: it would be ideal if some common key
mapping could be used between the cores, for example â+â button
should be the same button on all the cores, etc. I will write a
table with all the keymaps of the different cores and post soon.
Post by jugac64-***@public.gmane.org [chameleon_64]More than fixing the coreâs compatibility bugs, the idea of this
is to help users having a common base to use the different cores.
