Happy Birthday...

@pvanni

if I do not remember to update version number that will also be a problem, reviving old versions is not that important to me, I do not make mistakes

The most important thing her is to find none corrupted files,

Hemm,. Maybe I do the date archiving in user-startup, that way can keep different versions, it can be done by simply renaming the directory, maybe numbering the directories.

For example if backup number 10 exits, and a new backup 1 exits,
delete backup 10, Rename backup 9 to backup 10, rename backup 8 to 9, etc,

This way I can keep files for x number of reboot, so disk does not fill up whit crap.

@pvanni

Yes it looks like I need to create directory whit current date, and store the files inn there.

@spotUP

Yesterday I head a 3 days set back, some of files where corrupted (vga.c some makefiles, videomode conversion list), I have managed to do 2 days works in just one day, writing from memory.

I have also come up whit smart script should keep my source code safer from data corruption,

Goes like this

; start of script
.bra {
.ket }
.key name

If not exists backup:.source_backup
Makedir backup:.source_backup
Endif

If exists backup:.source_backup
If exists {name}
Copy {name} backup:.source_backup
Endif
Endif

Run <>nil: notepad {name}
; End of script

I have also added this line to shell-startup

Alias ed s:backup_notepad

@spotUP

It will be available on os4depot when I think it ready, I was thinking about you when I started porting SvigaLib.

Currently the event handler is almost complete.

* Mouse support works
* Raw keyboard support work

Time out for event handler is on my todo list.

Every thing that renders in to direct-video that uses linear mode looks ugly, (but totally viewable), all screen modes reports support for linear mode.

I will try to force P96 commands when vgagl commands renders in to screen bitmaps, and normal vgagl routines when rendering in to virtual contexts, this should solve some of the problems.

Palette does not auto update, don?t know way, pressing Amiga + M a few times and palette is ok

Svgalib programs crash on exit
(I think this has some thing to do whit the newly written event handler support)

Some of the examples use alloca() and they eat up all the stack in second, I will rewrite some of the examples, to they will use AllocVec(), and I also try rewrite all fork() based examples to use Dos.library / CreateProc() and signalling, besides that I will try to make all examples safer, the original examples crash if they fail to open video modes

@Chris

Yes,

what I'm doing is using the svgalib sourcecode as bases, what I have done is strip out the stuff that does not work, and add stuff that does,

I'm using a P96 screen mode, 8bit graphics ends up in graphics.library, 15/16/24/32 bit ends up in picasso96 routines, in some cases the original svgalib routines are used, by supporting linear addressing, page mode is not supported, only linear mode, to much hassle to support page mode.

event raw keyboard, mouse events is wrapped on top of User-Port (MsgPort), joystick routines end-up in some dummy routines, (Amiga Input is to buggy for my taste)

@Snuffy

The Nano-X Window System works on SVGALIB.

I'm porting SVGALIB right now.

@Catalist

The classic Amiga is over extended, it life span long passed it warranty period, personally don't think Hyperion should have spent this amount of time on supporting HW upgrades for some thing that where never designed to that expandable.

yes one can complain about HW support, personally think HW support list too long, and like you say at you end of comment, I agree whit you better to support new hardware, like Sam440, but we all know the issues whit that.

Personally I think Aminio (Amiga Inc nr. 1) / KMOS (Amiga Inc nr. 2) and ITec is one that making mess of the licensing and ownership.

@Elwood

Yes, I?m not using WaitMsg() or Wait(), I?m using GetMsg() that?s way, now go ahead and fix the problem.

@abalaban

I don?t really know the amount of stack used,

Any way the stack should be predefined in the icon.

@Elwood

Quote:

If was a forbid problem you world not be able to type "Dumpdebugbuffer" in shell

And increase stack to 1000000 before starting the emulator, it often helps other programs.

The GUI has busy loop type of event handler, that's way might eat more CPU cycles running the GUI then when the emulation is running, some whit reaction skills can fix that in a second.

I have not tested the emulator on the July update,
so far I have only tested on OS4 Final update.

@nubechecorre

Most likely because of current situation between Amiga Inc and Hyperion.

@Samurai_Crow

StarOffice is Java based, but it?s horribly slow too.

I think native (PowerPC) binaries make the most sense to me, at least.

@nubechecorre

3d intuition is in the road-map for OS4, for long time now, as well as SMP support, thats all I know

@K-L

If there is driver for it in Apus (PowerPC linux for PowerUP cards) there might be driver for it for OS4.

@all

Elwood will be showing Basilisk 2 on the Alchimie show in France

@pjs

I have ethernet support almost working, maybe some one else can have look at sourcecode, I don't understand way it does not work, way it lockup.
