Opinions might be divided how useful this is, but personally I really love it and it takes the serious edge off ml and puts it in the enthusiast domain where it belongs - though I'd have went for pong as the real classic :-) ... can I please request a gameboy color emulator?

I would also like to request, tetris.

How about one of those puzzles where you split a picture into 9 sections, randomize them and then have to rearrange them.

Another +1 ... while Arkanoid is nice as a traditional arcade game, Space Invaders might be actually fun :-)

We just have to agree on the specific buttons to use for left, right and fire (maybe depending on the camera model)

I love this game but starting level 4 it got a bit buggy. When I'd press the arrow keys it would move only a tiny bit and then stop. It won't go away until I restart the camera, then the issue would re-appear shortly after. Once in level 5 even a restart doesn't help anymore. See the video, I'm always keeping the button pressed and not letting go unless I hit the other button.

I know using the main dial or the top dial is an option too, but have you ever tried to play with that? It's near impossible. Camera is a EOS 70D.
A really cool idea would be to be able to use the touchscreen. Maybe just touching the right side of the LCD "emulates" the right key, and the left side the left key.

Edit: After leaving the camera on for a bit but not doing anything on it, it was working again int he same level. However after 1-2 minutes of playing (same level still) the lag appeared again, making it impossible to continue playing.

Your camera's windows must have a virus, I've played through the whole game with no problem.

EDIT: sorry that's an exaggeration, but I have actually played through about half of the game with no issues.

Did you purchase the DLC that allows Full Control?

And arguably you might wanna buy the DLC for extra levels and powerups.

a1ex · October 10, 2018, 12:07:24 PM

Guys, have you actually played this game before trolling? It's a valid bug report (I've just played and confirmed it on 5D2).

After looking at the source to see how it might happen, I believe the global last_key will stop the motion on any unrecognized button event, including internal GUI events that are not button presses, but are handled by Canon code in the same way.

To see the GUI events sent by Canon code when pressing various buttons: Debug -> Show GUI events. Maybe the arrow key events are - possibly in certain conditions - followed by some other events.

Fixing this (or at least trying to debug it) could be a fun low-hanging fruit for beginners.
