I finally got around to installing RasppleII on my pi. I used Ivan's original build of A2SERVER ages ago and got GSport setup and running before it was all built in. The setup etc now is soooo much easier that I am blown away.. Thanks to Ivan, David and David, the whole RASPPLEII, A2SERVER, A2CLOUD is amazing. All I need is a AppleII Pi card, David?

The only question (our should I say first question) I have so far is that if I login with the username "apple2" and launch GSport, how do I exit it back to the command line?

Thanks for noticing! I've wanted all this stuff to be as accessible as possible and am glad you found it easy to set up.

As for GSport, alt-F4 will exit, though it will shut down the Pi completely if you logged in as 'apple2'. If you don't want that, log in as 'pi' and type 'gsport' instead; then alt-F4 will exit back to the prompt.

I am using a IIgs keyboard via an imate ADB to USB adapter plugged into the pi. Any idea how to achieve ALT-F4 functionality?

Try option+4. You're kind of on your own with that setup ;-)

Given that it is a IIgs emulator I figured a IIgs keyboard and ADB mouse would be perfect. Does anyone know how I can remap the GSport quit function to keys available on the IIgs keyboard?

David,

I have just received my AppleIIPi card and was looking at your project page.. While on your RPi Project Page section 2.1 Keyboard Mapping you mention what keys have been remap for the Apple IIe to RPi, it occurred to me that the IIgs keyboard has the same keys and also missing the same keys as the Apple IIe when it comes to using it on a RPi. How did you achieve the remapping of the open-apple key to the ALT key?

If I could do this for my IIgs keyboard connect to the PRi via an ADB-USB adapter it should work.

Part of Apple II Pi is an input device driver that does all the remapping.

You'll have to write an input driver/filter for the USB input driver, of some kind.

For quitting purposes, you could startx, open LXTerminal, and type 'gsport' to run it in a window you can close when you're done.

Or, if you are using GSport fullscreen, you could SSH into the Pi from another computer with "ssh raspberrypi.local" (on a Mac), or using PuTTY on Windows (you can use the address "raspberrypi.local" if you install Bonjour Print Services, or you can use Advanced IP Scanner to find your Pi's IP address). Then you can type "pkill [g]sport" from the other computer, which will quit GSport. (Admittedly, not as elegant, but hey, it's something.)

Slightly more explicated version here:

I can't believe I didn't think of doing it that way. All I need to do now is work out how to get to the GSport configuration menu with no ALT or Fun keys. I guess i could just edit the config file.

I just realized, you may be the first to ever actually read the manual. Is there a reason the built-in keyboard doesn't work?

you mention what keys have been remap for the Apple IIe to RPi, it occurred to me that the IIgs keyboard has the same keys and also missing the same keys as the Apple IIe when it comes to using it on a RPi. How did you achieve the remapping of the open-apple key to the ALT key?

Can you test if the ADB->USB adapter does't do some kind of mapping with the OpenApple and/or Option keys? I would assume the OpenApple would map to ALT. Any manual with the adapter?

I want to use my Apple IIgs keyboard with GSport, ironically I fired up my Apple2Pi card today and it maps the Open-Apple key to the Alt key just fine when running GSport from the Apple2Pi card installed in my real IIgs. I think the IIgs itself must be doing some translation of the ADB keyboard to map the Open-A key in the first place and then whatever keyboard mapping has been used for the IIe to Pi in the Apple2Pi setup is translating it all good for GSport running on the Pi.

It is a Griffin iMate, from what I have read all it does is remap the Open-Apple key to the Windows Key.

A2Pi runs the IIGS in 8 bit mode, treating it just like a IIe. The ADB controller does the mapping into the IIe equivalent. The Open-Apple and Close Apple keys are just the paddle buttons. A2Pi does all the mapping of the IIe keys into Alt/Function keys.
