Web emulator issues

Post by AndyMt »

I've updated Brixx and Invaderz to support the "Try it now" feature, but observed some issues (tried Chrome, Edge, Brave browsers on Windows 11):
1. Always starts muted: is it intentional that the emulators starts muted (or appears to be muted)? Or does the button show the state and not what's happening when clicking it? In any case there is sort of sound but distorted. If I try to unmute it requires 2 clicks to make it happen. And even then sound does not always seem to work.
I suggest to remove the "mute" feature all together. One can always use the browsers mute functionality.
I've also tried the example using Xixit: https://cx16forum.com/webemu/x16emu.htm ... hp?id=1218
2. Mouse and keyboard issues: while the emulator is loaded you have to have the mouse already placed where the X16 screen will appear. Otherwise no mouse or keyboard input will be forwarded to the X16 program.
3. Scaling: when the aspect ration of the browser window is portrait, then the screen is stretched in height.

All works well on real hardware.
