Shogo works with OS4.1FE + Voodoo3 with one small glitch

[White]

@Zarnal
the system I am using does not use any patches
using patchwarp3d at the moment seems like the best choice and you don't have to replace any original system files
you could try it if you want:

and much more efficient patchwarp3d you just run it when you need it

Hummm, this flickering is probably only OS4 related, because with OS3.1, i have no flickering issue ( without BR ) with Shogo Demo and mgl renderer/voodoo ( pic 1 and 2 ).

@Zarnal
Thanks for your tests and explanations I really appreciate it very much.

It is already a miracle that the 4.1FE works very well thanks to Toni's experiment.

With the support of Voodoo3, support has increased, for example, DemoPPC works about 70% and it is a good result.

The composite clearly slows down the system with Voodoo3
while PicassoIV supports it without any problem even having only 4mb of ram same thing for UaeGfx.

The 4.1FE is entirely experimental even though all the software works very well with winuae.

Indeed the results achieved are truly excellent.
I would say that I am very happy.

Only small regret and that somehow small things could be improved but who uses 4.1?
I think very few and so the tests are limited but it is a matter of numbers few users few tests.

For the rest I am very happy and every now and then I write .. I ask and ask for advice.
that's all :-)

It would be interesting if you tested Odyssey with the composite but this requires a system starting with an I5-I7 processor to do the tests quickly.

At the moment I was able to use the composite and vertical lines appear in gray and you see the video scroll before it was all black.
But these tests require patience a lot of patience and can be wrong :-)

Strangely, if I use "composite" output locally with the video player it works perfectly but online doesn't work.
Some tips would be greatly appreciated.

If, on the other hand, I put the video in full screen, nothing is seen anymore and by resizing the window the video disappears.

error sorry

I got used to the slowness for this kind of test with my machine ( +15 minutes to launch Shogo for example). But that doesn't matter. Only functional ( or not ) tests interest me. I will try this WE software composite (and I will also try an OS4 / Wazp (without the Voodoo) / OS4 / Voodoo comparison for framerate difference.

I have completed my tests under OS3.1 for now. Only Heretic 2 demo seems not to want to launch ( with all library in place,ok with OS4).


Maybe again because of the slowness of my very old machine.

@Zarnal

THANK YOU!!

I understand you perfectly all my initial tests were performed on slow machines.

I tried this for example on an old laptop with AMD A8 processor but it worked fine :-)

Do you have any sample demos that do not work with OS4 / PPC? I will test in OS 3.1 later.



I will also do research for flickering issues with OS4. Maybe an environment or TT variable to enable/disable/modify.

if you have problems setting up Odyssey for various reasons
you can also do this:
add this command to your user-startup:

SETENV OWB_USER_AGENT "Mozilla / 5.0 (BB10; Touch) AppleWebKit / 537Mozilla / 5.0 (Nintendo Switch; WebApplet) AppleWebKit / 606.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) NF / 6.0.1.16.10 NintendoBrowser / 5.1.0.20923"

Odyssey browser will use the user-agent I recommended without making further settings, let me know if you encounter any problems with this open the google page by typing "whatbrowser" and you will see if you are using the correct user agent with Odyssey.

Thank you but I already configured Odyssey a while ago with your second OS4 tutorial video. In principle, it should be fine (except for my framerate ).

[White]

ok, thanks once again
unfortunately i think the video will go to 2fps
Odyssey is the application that requires a faster CPU than all other programs.

But maybe that's why you can see if it's actually faster.

here you can see for example E-UAE used with an I5 as you see it works all the other videos in the channel dated 2018 have been tested with an I5-2400

separate note:
you also have to take into account that in 2018 my configurations were not as optimized as they are today
it is the version of winuae used dates back to 2018
