cax - you hit the nail on the head. These are the useful things you can help with indeed and these are also the reasons why we would be less motivated to implement it. Hence, it would also help to find someone who's more motivated, and then it would probably just a matter of time. We will support such a person in any way possible of course.

I'll check if there's interest in emulating this device in the current team. If you could already provide the info you talked about and put them in a tracker item in our Feature Request Tracker, anyone who would implement it would have all the info at hand to get started.
When mentioning source code, do mention the license of it.

Well, quite some people downloaded the beta, but we didn't get many reactions yet... (about 2). So, what's up folks? What's bad? What's good? Any bugs?

Latest Windows beta (with fixed crash, thanks to Muffie for finding out): http://openmsx.sourceforge.net/temp/openmsx-0.6.3-dev8409-win32-bin.exe

I'm sorry, I have downloaded the beta but I hadn't a lot of time for testing it, especially the new features. I *PROMISE* that I'll try it today at least for a couple of hours and I'll tell you if it's working or not

How do you invoke the new On Screen Display in the Mac OS X version ?

I have tried to use the command "toggle_main_menu" but OpenMSX replies that is not a valid command.
Other commands, such as "toggle_fps" are working correctly.

When I launch OpenMSX from a terminal window, it's not giving me any error about a missing TCL script (just the usual warning about the deprecated NSQuickDrawView library)

The command name is 'main_menu_toggle' (normally you don't need to know this). And you're right: it's not bound to a key by default on OSX. We'll fix this before the release. Thanks for reporting this.

Note however that this menu is NOT an official new feature of the release (e.g. it's not mentioned in the release notes). The menu script is included because for some users (hi Vampier) it is already very useful. But it needs some more work to be generally useable (probably the focus of next release). So consider it more like a 'technology preview'.
