HIDtest v3.2 and HIDlib v0.4 released

HIDtest is the utility lets you test a lot of Human Interface Devices that can be connected to the MSX (joysticks, mice, touchpads etc), either directly or by using adapters. It's Acid1Test & Acid2Test compliant, and supports hot plugging and auto-detection.

As a special Christmas gift, the version 3.2 of the HID tester and HIDlib v0.4 have just been released, with many optimisations and bug-fixes:

• HIDtest/HIDlib: Implemented vertical scaling for the touchpad. HIDtest now shows both the raw Y value and the Y value scaled for the screen
• HIDlib: Fixed some bugs in the Megadrive 6-button routine:
  
  • Proper reset of the joypad at the end
  • Joystick port selection fix
• HIDlib: Minor optimizations on the mouse/trackball reader
• Lightpen calibration now requires both the switch and touch to be pressed, not just the touch
• Fixed a bug when parsing the /G parameter would cause it not to be recognized for the joystick port 2
• Fixed a bug that cause screen corruption on MM and many other programs after HIDTEST was run (tks @gdx for reporting!)
• Better light-pen port detection
• The 2nd light-pen port is now initialized on start, and reset on exit
• The touchpad pressure is now shown
• Added support for the light-pen on joystick port-2 (MSX2 only)
• Added a compatibility mode for FM-Towns (hold button-B) and X68000 controllers (hold START). Miswired joysticks that connect the common pin to the GND can also be used as FM-Towns joypads
