@Hans

Compositing is supported by both these cards

Really? Oh gosh didnt know, but it is implemented in Os4 graphic.library 4.1.2(?) from your HD project?

@Thematic

perform bad on mini but perform great on Powerbook G4
Im sure it will perform great on X1000 or an 460 with a radeon 9250 128mb on pci and probably on Aone/pergasos machine with 9000pro Agp (9800xt isnt supported :( )

Ok @kas1e ;)
in any case hope some one skilled make sdl 2.0 port to amigaos 4.1 and the same time a better and improved graphic.library and W3d/mesa/Gallium/Glx ported for use all the power of the GPU and make the new machine more faster and less cpu eater.


I will ask huno about his SpeedBoosty if him will not reply i will stop to make donation. :P :P :P :P :P

@Hans

your post made me understand that we need for sure a much improved 3d library with better optimization and this will make the sdl software run better on our systems?

about compositing: yep i see on Mace of much big is the increment of using this and not because not supported by the card.
MACE detail max
Pegasos 2 G4 1ghz 9000pro 1080p = 25/18 fps
Sam460ex 1017mhz Radeon 6670HD 1080p=75/65 fps

i know is not easy, noting is easy when there isnt developers, corder like 20y ago when every day new library and implementation come for our os.
I remember good when newicon.library born or the cgx or when mesa.library every months the 3.1 was grow up and make the users be pround about their Amiga machine and Os.
The small community of the beginnin 2000 became more smaller and this community in time was splitted in 3 parts Aos , Aros, Mos...
now just few great developer still remain on Os4.1... some other left because to much trolling from users or from other side of the community (different os).
Now is time to know the big (pack) that will be released by Aeon during the Amiwesti personally hope for the "Warp3d HD" but who know... can be somethig different...

@Hans

Yes i know but are slooooooooow
Example tux cart it is slow on g4 1ghz and radeon 9000pro
I dont know it is because the game in origin or because our sdl not good implemented with warp 3d ... Look like don't use don't use the full accelerations of the cards but just a little parts.

With g4 and radeon 9000pro I have a good performances with ioquake3 or the with q2 really good on quake one, the last one is super fast

Huno library are using all the gpu acceleration and incredibly speed up his ports ... hurrican is an example , frogatto, startreck is fast too (q3 engine)

I'm sure our sdl need to be fixed and upgraded for take the full advantage of the power of video boards

@RIBDEVIL

do you need one ? im selling mine
...

the 460 are available, i had the news letter from acube 4 days ago , but probably they finsh their stock fast

@Spirantho

yes for sure will be needed the port of sdl 2.0 after gallium 3d...

The actual sdl 1.2 are widthout the 3d (Gl) implementation , huno make his library for make the Sdl redirect to Warp3d for the Gl rendering.

@Thematic

yes i see and strange no one do this port

@samo79

Umm i dont know it is run (slow) on 2005 g4 mini ...

@samo79

and why not ? 8)

Doom 3 ??
http://archives.aros-exec.org/share/g ... s/adoom3-b0.i386-aros.zip

So sure it will be slow , it is slow on a Powerbook G4 1.67 but will be funny see it run :P

Quake 4 is much much really fast on P book G4 with all the settings Max when will be available probably will run good on the 460,Aone,X1000,Peg2 if one day Gallium will come a true thing.

@kas1e

ohhh really :( i was sure because him put in the Dev (website zone) and make me missunderstanding . Kas1e sorry i didint know.

Hope someone will port the last sdl package (2.0 http://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php)with all the features active for Os4.1

@kas1e

try to use the dev kit libboostyGfx from hunoppc

Dynamic library to Using direct Hardware render on AmigaOS4 machine 3D support with Warp3D, additionals functions based on boost library and a new "timer" / "math" for increase speed up on SDL part, new code for "i18n" stuff (support all locale now), endianess convert.

http://www.clubevolution4.com/HunoSDL-Port/libboostyGFX.lha

it is wonderful compatible with Wazp3d (hurrican and frogatto use this and gave a great result)

@utri007

yes Redneck Rampage is a fun game :)

@328gts

yes critics are really positive about it.
there are some video on youtube.


in any case this is the list of all the free open source games and games/engine

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source_video_games

@LiveForIt

I dont know mate with example Mplayer Altivec in junction with av_codec_library altivec i can see the boost of video/audio rendering decoding ...
On a big mkv full hd 1080p i see an increasing of 3/4 frames the example movie go at 11/ 12 and usually 7/8 fps ... every become 1/2 more faster 8)

I would just report a game that open source is having great success, this game is TREMULOUS.
No one has ever thought of doing a port? It is currently available for Mac Intel / PPC Windows and Linux have also Amiga Os would be great.

Tremulous website : http://tremulous.net/about/
tremulous screenshots: http://tremulous.net/screenshots/
tremulous Wiki : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tremulous

It is an SDL game

@sofistisoftware

yes composition on euae for sure will speed up the operation and in junction with the jit we will have a super great result ... im sure about this

this is my recent test about euae sdl on os4.1.6.60 on pegasos2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLedJuSKLOI
compare my result of video with this ;)

http://www.retrocomputing.net/parts/c ... 600/a600de/howupgrade.htm

and immagine an Euae Jit+Composition+Gl what ll can do :P

There is a new Wip version of euae with many improvments i hope will exit a new sdl version with libboostygfx from hunoPPC because will make euae render in Opengl and Overlayscreens and a compositing version too.

and if will be a Altivec compiled version better more and more :P :P :P : P

@kas1e

i remember there was a midi.library or timidy.library who was used for old 68k/PPCwos port of Doom ...
I dont know if they can run under Petunia and there are sources/dev info about it.
In any case GREAT JOB!


i found one was the great doom attack
