Can someone draw a Christmas hat for

<----- LIL' EVIL VARTA ?

My uboot version: molsen 2018-10-05. Whether that is MM-DD or DD-MM I am not sure.

Thank you so much for your monthly report. Please never stop.

AMIGA IS.

To add, I use sfs.

yeah, debug level added a few seconds (no more than a few) to my bootup. i think i was using level 5. now it is just completely turned off.

i use an ssd.

good luck.

33 seconds on my X5000, but that is with the disabled animations and also debugging completely turned off.

Shouldn't use also use the FILE switch if you are quering a file?

I am not at computer right now.

Solved with latest string.gadget.

Work around before that was to run Prefs->power at startup

I just sent you a message.

Thanks, but that does not make any difference since it is just a wrapper for DOSBOX anyway.

Someone out there has Duke3D Atomic Edition and someone out there has tried to run BUILD.EXE using DOSBOX. I have searched for the answer, but cannot find it.

For once, I would just like to get the answer, rather than looking at porting over the source code for BUILD - which requires a really old compiler for a start.

It does seem to have a negative theme.

I have a version of 2.7.3 running on the X5000 at the moment.

I need to do some more testing and see if I can improve the PYTHONPATH / PYTHONHOME situation.

Hi.

When running "build.exe" for Duke3d Atomic Edition in DOSBOX I get the error:


But, when I run setup for "duke3d.exe" I choose 320 * 200 and the game works.

In any case, can someone tell me how to run "build.exe" in DOSBOX?

The Italian documentation (README) will always be one version behind the English documentation. I am not sure how I feel about this, since otherwise I would have to rely on your input before updating a new version. If you are happy you can translate the following: "The Italian documentation is likely to be a revision behind the English documentation. You should also consult the English documentation".

Thanks for the information wrt. a test-able ROM. I notice that CLIB2 on my X5020 does not seem to show any noticeable difference in terms of FPS CLIB2 1.186 version VS the previous 0.135 newlib version.

Perhaps I will upload a new version that will include:
1 - Fix to the minimise gadget (thank you Capehill)
2 - Inclusion of the SS module, despite it being ridiculously slow and requiring a quad core CPU
3 - Improvements to the English documentation which removes some redundant/false information and additions to other options to possibly improve performance.

If anyone is using 1.186 and seeing bad performance with PSX I would be interested to know because - for me - the PSX is playable. I did say before, though, that the X1000's performance is not so great at all.

When I get around to it I will attempt a port of Python 2.7 since if anyone is running Py scripts from version 2, it is generally at least 2.7. As you know, we only support 2.5 right now.

ArgParse is also in version 2 I believe.

Unless someone else is thinking about it, version 3 is just not on the horizon right now. I do think - though - that a version of 2.7 will be good for us.

@Capehill

Just doubled it and it is now solved.

I will include SS in the next build then as well as a newlib build that may bring up GR windows as before due to hacks necessary in the threading.

As for the minimize issue. I said before that I can reproduce it. There is a lot of code in mednafen. Ideally, I would create a minimal reproducible.

All I can say is that Mednafen does this:


where, for the relevant i:


If someone can try that and see what happens. Otherwise, I "may" get around to it eventually.

In the next version I can also include a newlib build.

The SS (Sega Saturn) module requires 64 bit, so I noticed that this module has never been included. But, I did try to compile SS with 32 bit PPC and it does actually build. I tested a random ROM but it is very slow. The documentation even states that SS is in progress and requires a quad core processor. PSX also really requires a dual core and this is only just playable.

Thanks all.

I will firstly try the cheap adaptor to see if it will work with one of my old PSX controllers. I definitely do not need anything fancy.
