Hi mate :)

Yes it seems to have trouble with the newer Individual Computers builds of P96. When I get time, I'll change my development tools over to use the newer P96 to get it working.

@sailor

Thank you, this chart is very useful. And I just got my hands on a Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 as well.

Thanks for all the help.

Thank you for your work on SDL3!

I hope no one minds me posting a video of SDL3 tests here.
If anyone does mind, please let me know.

Here are the SDL3 tests and the latest version of Mighty Mike. It works great on QEMU

@smarkusg

I did alter variable scanning based on Flynn's comment. There should be a new SDL3 release soonish.

@samo79

OT: for modern systems we should use 'C'.

@Rob

it’s better than what I get with my PiStorm32-CM4 and OS3.2.3. I get blank spaces on the opening screen. NovaCoder said on EAB it’s most likely to P96.

@ NovaCoder

great to see you here

So.. wondering if anyone is willing to do some testing in uboot on an X5000?

The way the TRM says it should work is to write the register we're interested in to the index register at 0000.0000, and then read the value from data register e000.8000 (dot for easier read). This differs slightly from f.i. Tabor, where we write to 0x0000, but read from 0x8000 plus the register.

I'd like to see what we get in uboot.

md is memory display
mw is memory write

First I want to just see if anything is at 0x8000 without us having written anything to the index register.

The first line should give us 8 16 bit words from the data register. This might contain 0xdead, 0xbeef, and then it should be the hardware revision, and then I don't know.

The seconds test will write 1 to the index reg, and we would then see 0xbeef in the data register.


The third test will write 2 to the index reg, and we would then see the hardware rev in the data register.


The fourth test will write 4 to the index reg, and that should return a 1 if the localbus is alive.

The last line should dump

You can corroborate all this by checking the Cyrus TRM.



You can take photos and e-mail me if can't copy from uboot. It's joakim.nordstrom at gmail.com.

Thanks!

getting there

@ktadd

I already use some scripts from 3.5 / 3.9 and THE. But I'll have a look at the scripts, thank you.

What's a little ugly is, that adding shortcuts with ARexx scripts will not reflect the changes in the menu, i.e. the new shortcut letter does not show in the menu.

e.g. I like the shortcut RAmiga-DEL or RAmiga-Backspace to delete icons, instead of RightAmiga-d, which IMHO would fit much more as a shortcut to "duplicate icon" and RightAmiga-c (copy) to work the same as it does in gadgets.
When I set RightAmiga-backspace to delete an icon, even tho it works, the menu will not show the new shortcut, but only show RightAmiga-d.

@NinjaCyborg

maybe you like this one a little better

@NinjaCyborg

double post, sorry

@sailor

wow, cool link, very useful.

They are not actually what I would call bugs, G-WARS is compiled to run on Amiga 3.x so if it doesn't work correctly on other operating systems then that's not much of a surprise to me. Saying that, I coded G-WARS to be be very platform independent, someone could compile an AROS/OS4/MorphOS version in about 5 mins I guess.

If someone here does fancy building an OS4 version then they should wait for me to update the repository with the latest changes (v3.0).

@Capehill
I noticed the same thing as @FlynnTheAvatar.
If there is an SDL_RENDER_DRIVER setting in ENV, you need to set the variable in the program sources.
SDL_SetHintWithPriority(SDL_HINT_RENDER_DRIVER, "compositing", SDL_HINT_OVERRIDE);
The problem does not occur in opengles2

Here is a test where I used SDL_HINT_RENDER_DRIVER and it works

But OS4 doesn't currently do animated pointers, correct? If the pointer is generated from a .info file, then maybe the solution is to extend the .info format to include more than two images?

(Person with no OS4 Amiga speculating...)

In the kt_scripts archive on OS4Depot you will find a script named "CleanDrawer" that makes it easier to clean up and snapshot a drawer via a requester.

Adding this functionality to the Workbench menus would be great.
No more multiple menu selections to cleanup an snapshot drawers.

Correct, you didn't. But Mac sales was the only other source of income I ever saw attributed to Hyperion, and having read/skimmed the various Amiga, Inc. "lawsuit" documents on another site and the debts cited, it was a logical conclusion. (Not to mention that more than one former developer has stated publicly or privately about getting stiffed.) It was still eye-opening.

As was this.

OS4 is not exactly standing still either at present.

Sounds like a great idea, would love a hi-res rotating boingball spinning as a wait pointer in 4.1.
