Not sure if it correct that firstly we have widnow/screen addresses ok, and then another time with 0x0 ?
But then, i tried to run this warpsness on my Pegasos2 (which had Radeon9250, so no modern RadeonHD or RadeonRx) : and it also gives me black screen ! But, this time i don't have window 0x0 and screen 0x0 at the end of debug output, but still black screen.
What is common between all my os4 machines, is that they all up2date and use latest graphics.library and co. Maybe your OS4 aren't up2date and this can be a difference between your and our setups ?
My HP officejet 4630 is found on my network in airscan, however when I click to add the scanner. AIrscan says it is retrieving scanner information, but hen eventually returns to idle without adding my scanner to the list. I can repeat this steps many time and I always get the same result.
I believe my printer supports airprint, at least according to HPs support page.
Anyone else have this problem and find any solutions?
I have just released a little update, accompanied by the PED81C Voxel Engine (PVE), i.e. a new demo. If you can't be bothered trying it yourself, you can see it in this video - but beware: YouTube's video compression degraded the visual quality (especially the colors saturation and brightness).
PVE is an experiment to test the graphical quality and computational performance
of the PED81C system. It allows to move freely around a typical voxel landscape.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GETTING STARTED
PVE requires:
* Amiga computer
* AGA chipset
* 200 kB of CHIP RAM
* 4 MB of FAST RAM
* PAL SHRES support
* digital joystick/joypad and mouse
* 2.1 MB of storage space
If the monitor / graphics card / scan doubler do(es) not support SHRES, the
colors will look off or even not show at all.
For example:
* MNT's VA2000 graphics card displays only the even columns of pixels, so only
reds and blues show;
* Irix Labs' ScanPlus AGA displays only the odd columns of pixels (contrary to
how is was originally marketed), so only greens and grays show.
To install PVE, unpack the LhA archive to any directory of your choice.
To start PVE, open the program directory and double-click the program icon from
Workbench or execute the program from shell.
* The map wraps around at its edges.
* The number shown in the top-left corner of the action screen indicates the
number of frames rendered in the last second.
* Upon returning to AmigaOS, PVE prints out:
* the total number of frames rendered;
* the total number of frames shown;
* the average number of frames rendered per second;
* the average time (expressed in frames) taken by the rendering of a frame.
* The graphics are first rendered in a raster in FAST RAM and then copied to a
triple-buffered PED81C raster in CHIP RAM.
* The screen resolution is 1020x200 SHRES pixels, which correspond to 255x200
LORES-sized dots and to 128x200 logical dots.
* Rendering is done by columns, from bottom to top and then left to right.
* The code applies a depth of 256 steps per column, so it evaluates 256*128 =
32768 dots per frame (and then renders only those which are actually visible).
* The code is 100% assembly.
* The code is optimized for 68030.
* The program supports only maps of 1024x1024 pixels, but it can be made to
support maps of other sizes by simply redefining the width and height
constants and reassembling the code.
* The height of the camera adapts automatically to that of the point it is at,
but it can be made user-controllable and its maximum value can be increased
almost to the point that the lanscape disappears at the bottom of the screen.
* On an Amiga 1200 equipped with a Blizzard 1230 IV mounting a 50 MHz 68030 and
60 ns RAM:
* the program runs at about 20.2 fps;
* the rendering of graphics alone runs at about 22.2 fps;
* the impact of PED81C is of about 22.2-20.2 = 2 fps - in other words,
writing the graphics to the PED81C raster requires about 50/22.2-50/20.2 =
0.223 frames (when only the bitplanes DMA is active);
* rendering the graphics directly to the PED81C raster degrades the
performance by about 2 to 3 fps (tested only with an older and less
optimized version).
* On an Amiga 1200 equipped with a PiStorm32, the program runs at 50 fps
(unsurprisingly).
* The map size is 1024x1024 pixels.
* The map requires 2 MB of FAST RAM.
* The program takes over the system entirely and returns to AmigaOS cleanly.
After a hiatus from programming of several months (due to a computer-unrelated
project), I decided to finally create something for PED81C because I had made
nothing with it other than a few little examples, I wanted to test its
graphical quality and computational performance, and... I felt like having some
good fun.
After some inconclusive mental wandering, the idea of making a voxel engine came
to mind for unknown reasons (I had never dabbled with voxel before).
When the engine was mature enough I decided to distribute PVE publicly (which
initially was not planned).
About the update, I fixed some palette values in a table in the documentation, added the formulas for calculating DIWSTRT, DIWSTOP, DIWHIGH, DDFSTRT and DDFSTOP to the documentation and implemented them in the AMOS Professional source code example. This is the snippet relative to the register settings:
In general, given a raster which is RASTERWIDTH dots wide and RASTERHEIGHT dots
tall, the values to write to the chipset registers in order to create a centered
screen can be calculated as follows:
* SCREENWIDTH = RASTERWIDTH * 8
* SCREENHEIGHT = RASTERHEIGHT
* DIWSTRTX = $81 + (160 - SCREENWIDTH / 8)
* DIWSTRTY = $2c + (128 - SCREENHEIGHT / 2)
* DIWSTRT = ((DIWSTRTY & $ff) << 8) | ((DIWSTRTX + 1) & $ff)
* DIWSTOPX = DIWSTRTX + SCREENWIDTH / 4
* DIWSTOPY = DIWSTRTY + SCREENHEIGHT
* DIWSTOP = ((DIWSTOPY & $ff) << 8) | (DIWSTOPX & $ff)
* DIWHIGH = ((DIWSTOPX & $100) << 5) | (DIWSTOPY & $700) |
((DIWSTRTX & $100) >> 3) | (DIWSTRTY >> 8)
* DDFSTRT = (DIWSTRTX - 17) / 2
* DDFSTOP = DDFSTRT+SCREENWIDTH / 8 - 8

Yes it's strange, it works perfectly on my Radeon 7000 on the ua1, my guess was also something with the screenmode parameters not matching.
What if you enable the #define EMU_DEBUG in the framework.cpp file?
Can you post the screenmode outputs from your machine in case it differs, however that shouldn't matter you should still get trash on the screen.
It's like we need some command to push the graphics to be rendered, which is not needed on the older hardware (atleast ua1, maybe others)
Yes i tested all 16-bit and 32-bit modes, and the RGB-format is converted by P96EncodeColor to the selected screenmode so it should always be correct.
The code for setting the black screen is in the amiga.cpp file, and it also works on the ua1, i tried setting purple as a test, and sure thing it changes.
Maybe possible to check the sdl-code to see what they do different?
Edit: Meanwhile i will look into the suggestions and feedback from @samo79 , thanks a lot. So i'll do some work on the gui-part.
My guess it does not support 16bit, or perhaps the exact mode you have.
Unfortunately you are wrong, WarpSnes also supports 16-bit mode, tested at fullscreen x2. This is the Os4Depot version that has white borders on the full screen.
Airscan documentation is missing for sure, and I will add it on next update. Airscan should not freeze your system when scanning, so this is a bug I need to rectify
Airscan formats is dependent on scanner you are using, but all scanners support pdf and jpeg, some scanners also use png and octet stream which is raw format. My program give you the choice of what format to save as. And the only thing it does is saving the document in the format sent by scanner.
You can choose if you want to scan from from platen or from the document feeder. Scanning from platen give you one page scan. Document feeder will scan all sheets and give you a pdf with all pages, if you choose feeder and format jpeg, it will scan all sheets and store as seperate jpegs.
If choosing preview, I use jpeg and datatypes to show the image. You can then rightclick and hold the mousebutton while choosing the area to scan, and when scanning your document will be the selected area.
Neat, not even some free windows software have a straight to pdf option

if you reduce Amiga to 4.X and PPC very propably. If sales of A1222 are low, what is probable at the price, then I cannot imagine Trevor financing new hardware. There are more options than 4.X and A1222 is not even called Amiga as far as i know ;)
but there will be new hardware. If you see it as amiga or not is another question

Thank you very much for the new version and the small changes within WarpSnes. The window modes work very well and the speed is the same as previous versions.
I can also confirm that all fullscreen modes only show a black image even though WarpSnes is running in the background no matter what resolution I use.
