A600GS: Update 46.1.878 with MIDI-support and workaround for black screen error
As part of the new update v46.1.878 for the A600GS computer, Amiga Kit has introduced support for MIDI for the OctaMED music software. The update can be installed using the built-in live update system or a downloadable update file. An overview of the changes:
AmiBerry
- Extended uaelib to provide info about available midi devices and allow setting currently active midi input and output devices.
- Merge with latest amiberry-lite github 5.7.5
A600GS
- BrlTTY was installed by default on earlier image versions, this caused a conflict with Drawbridge USB as it "stole" the USB serial device from the DrawBridge drivers! This update will do a one time purge of brltty where installed. This had the strange effect of the first floppy drawbridge connected not working but the next one attached would work as if it were the only one attached.
Later images are not affected.
- Added support in the GUI for Competition Pro joysticks. Also add support for 8BitDo Zero 2 Bluetooth controllers. Widen the pattern used for testing input devices for joystickness so that more (hopefully all) gamepads should now be recognised as such.
- If the bluetooth system was disabled then dbus messages sent to it to scan for attached or paired devices etc would trigger an Abort() in the libdus library rather than return the usual error message, unfortunately then causing the main GUI to Abort() to black screen. Added additional tests at all levels to prevent DBUS message being sent to BlueZ when not extant. This solves the main and up till now mysterious causes of the black screen after boot issue!
OctaMED
- Added a menu item to allow selecting the desired input and output A600GS MIDI devices
