Re: OWB 2.3

@Joerg

Thanks!
The horizontal slider seems to be broken, otherwise works great!

One of my partner recently changed his online ordering system and it is forced me to retire IBrowse for some tasks.
Furtunately OWB works great with the new design so I am not forced to use other machine. :)

Ah, I'm very relieved! I was worried that a donation to me had gone unthanked. I'm glad we got that cleared up. :)

Your SAYTHANKS'O MATIC machine works perfectly :) I have just got my result.

It is a bit sad that developing to our platform is not vital by business currently. I hope that this will change soon and this donation scheme could help to keep developers for that holy time.

Bye!

I trust you did read the docs and ensure you were launching it with DOS32A rather than DOS4GW? (just checking)

Sure, I trashed dos4dw and renamed dos32a.
I don't know what is the problem with Stonekeep, but it is so slow from the point of lanching it. It may be bad coding or some bottlenecks of the emulation.

Don't use DOS4GW, use DOS32A instead - it works much better with DOSBox.

Thanks! I did not even knew about it. However it don't makes any effect on the speed of Stonekeep.

lazi : What is the average CPU consumption ? What hardware do you use ?
Thanks for the link on fastdosbox but at the moment I failed to get the archive (site too slow). I am curious about the optimization ...

I tried with 3 games:

Locomotion - (simple 2D game, small moving sprites on static background)
0 frameskip - ~60% CPU

X-Wing

2 frameskip - ~80% CPU

Stonekeep - dos/4gw

2 frameskip - 100% CPU
This one is needs more power. It seems that the dos/4gw system is a tough one for DosBox because it swallows the full CPU power from the start of the application.

My machine is a mikro A1 with 750GX@800.

Good luck with the optimisation!

I've just uploaded DosBox 0.72 on os4depot, it should be faster. But it will be harder to optimize that I was thinking previously.

Thanks Corto! I tested it, and this version has much better speed. The audio is not glitching anymore in the tested games.

IIRC there is a sourceforge effort to optimize DOSBox, but when I last checked it there was not much result yet.

It seems for me that they are firmly resolved to launch the devboards with a real 68060. If so then the MMU will be there.
The next step is still under evaluation...

I sure would get a NatAmi with a 68040/AGA ..
But it had to be REALLY bugfree !

And it should have a ADF emulator so you could select ADFs from a SD card or CF card totally transparent to the system.

If It was 99% reliable hardwarewise Id pay 2500 NOK for this.. thats 500 USD. Plus taxes ..

Im damn sure there are enough (linux,amiga,c64,Morph) geeks in the world who could be swayed to trying out such a product.. They might very well sell 10000 or more.. (Unless the USA attacks Iran and destabilizes the world seriously.)

You will not get NatAmi with a '040/AGA. The first devboards are planned with 68060 cpu and with the SuperAGA "chipset".
If you will get one, then you could use IDE HDD for storage, and maybe WHDLOAD for retro gaming.
The developers wants to create a new Amiga follow-up, not a retro stuff like the MiniMig.
You underestimate the price. I think it will be around 1000 USD for the devboard, and that is a fair price for me.

Look around the Natami forum posts at www.natami.de for details.

Our secret agent comrade Ostrovich has succesfully caught a secret message from Amiga Inc.
Unfortunately the message is heavily encrypted and we do not have the computing power to
unscramble it before the information will self destruct.

We quickly developed a tool to solve the secret message.
The more of you run this application, the quicker we got the result that is needed to
end the lawsuit.

You can download the tool for AmigaOS4, AmigaOS3.x (untested), and for the mainstream systems.

The first one who deliver the whole message can name the target of a 15 euro donation.
(It should AmigaOS4 related)

Not too shy to talk

Hi!

If I try to check my system partition, it crash on exit PartitionWizard.
The check function did not found any problem.
It is a small (1.3Gb) partition with SFS 1.279.

After reset the contents of the debugbuffer is the following:

a1ide.device 52.1 (09.12.2006)

Tried to reformat the partition, but that doesn't help.

Any thoughts?

@PEB

It does not matter if you have a mikro or not.
The fonts that you have installed does matter.

You should install the following fonts to avoid the recoverable error messages:

-Verdana
-Arial family
-Cyberbit

I got the first two from a win.. machine.
The cyberbit font is downloadable from here: http://http.netscape.com.edgesuite.ne ... onts/windows/Cyberbit.ZIP

After that 1.10 is working at least as stable as 1.9.
