Amstrad CPC - lr-caprice32 - Virtual Keyboard

[cyperghost]

In RetroPie we are still on caprice 4.2 which will make the virtual keyboard useable.

Since 3 month version 4.5 is out which supports save states and some buzzing sound (disc drive) and support GX4000 console. But it's not possible to use VirtualKeyboard by pressing Y anymore, only START+SELECT works and this will shutdown emulator.

I wrote the author and suggested a small workaround with R2+START combo. I hope he'll find a much better solution. Issue from March is here

@BuZz to compile this core I still have to use -std=c99 flag. Do you know more about this?

@BuZz
I've fixed the Virtual Keyboard problem so far in 4.5 core.
So it may feasable to update core (if you want)
Or do you want to stick to 4.2 version?
