Is it too much to ask for a popup keyboard for entering a name after winning? I am playing SDLPoP on an Odroid Go Advance running EmuElec. Also, thanks for porting Prince Of Persia. It was one of my favorite games back in the day. I actually never beat the game until just now because I was so young in the early 90s.

Hello,

Is it too much to ask for a popup keyboard for entering a name after winning? I am playing SDLPoP on an Odroid Go Advance running EmuElec.

Sorry, I am not familiar with this device.
Is this it? https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-go-advance/

Are the buttons the only input, or does it have a touchscreen?
I don't see any indication of the latter, but I am asking to be sure.

Is there a built-in on-screen keyboard which SDLPoP could use, or do I need to make one from scratch?

I added some code to display the screen keyboard if it's supported: 4c560a4
Can you test if it works on your device?

Also, thanks for porting Prince Of Persia. It was one of my favorite games back in the day.

You're welcome and thank you!

Yes, that's the device, and yes the buttons are the only input - no touchscreen. Emulation station has a keyboard, but I am unsure how else it works. I will try to build and test PoP. I haven't been feeling well, so I don't know when that will be.
