Fully supported console systems (with all currently available u64 options):
SNES, NES, GameBoy, GBA, Atari 2600, Lynx, Jaguar64, NeoGeo, NeoGeo Pocket, Sega16, VirtualBoy, Coleco, WonderSwan, Vectrex, Intellivision, PCEngine, N64, Genesis, SMS, and a number of backup units (see the uCON64 FAQ).

Currently not supported console systems:
All CDRom-based consoles (Playstation, Dreamcast, etc...). Support for CDRom-based consoles is not planned at the moment. This is because uCON64 itself acts as a frontend for the burning tool "cdrdao" for all CD-based consoles; and also the support for cdrdao is untested in the BeOS version of uCON64. If you can report to us that the functions of uCON64 for CD consoles do in fact work in BeOS R5, we might reconsider integrating the CD consoles in our GUI Frontend too. Update: CD support in uCON64 has changed since 1.9.8 beta7. There's now a library called "discmage.so" in development which also does handy things like Nero->Iso. This looks interesting, let's see what it looks like when it's finished.

Known problems:
- The gauge-display in the stdout window is ugly when sending / receiving a file. Needs more tweaking.
- There are redraw problems in Dano. Fix should be to recompile in Dano and turn off the "Draw Background" option.
- If one selects an option (i.e. not a patch option) which needs a second file, the PatchFile Box gets enabled. However, if you then turn one of the patch options in the PatchFileBox on and off, the Box gets disabled, although there's another option on which would normally need the 2nd value (did anybody get this??). Fix is to select the first option again or use the override switch in Additional commands tab.

Source code for this app is included, so if someone actually wants to extend the Frontend with another Console View or alike, have a look at the ConViews subfolder, and read the ConView Readme there. I made some notes in it how to add a new Console View.

Have any comments, tips, bug reports or whatever? Send some feedback!

   - Show window in All workspaces.
• BeOS PowerPC compatibility (please see Installation chapter).
• "Uconize-U" Tracker add-on.

• Allowing up to 20 entries in Recent-menus now. Is this enough?

  which makes parsing of options easier and doesn't clutter up the window class.
