Frode - just registered here because I thought that part of our communication might be of interest for others.
For now, just let me say that I'm very impressed on how fs-uae evolves and that I'm pretty happy with what you do! Many thanks again! Peter |

Just tried the emulator... WOW! How fast does it run! The only problem is, I cannot see the menu screen on pressing F12 so I have to set everything in config before hand - no big issue, but would be grateful if someone could print screen the relevant menu screens so I know how to 'move around' the menu! BTW I have installed the OpenAL32.dll drivers and latest graphics card drivers which supports OpenGL... (despite it being an Intel GMA 950 Mobility Express Chipset!) Also another 'bug' possibly. If you run SpeedBall 2 it runs fine initially, but if you ALT-TAB out then on returning you will notice pressing any key will actually 'pause' the game (this is an issue which causes desync on the WinUAEXP hence fails to work properly unless you use a gamepad!)

Sorry to ask again, sir, but... have you added NTSC support? I'm asking because I read you were adding it in the next version and I can't see it in the changelogs still.
Thanks! |

Having a lunch break here, so I can answer a couple of questions.

Btw, regarding keyboard layout, I have also disovered that two other international keys was not mapped (one of them is the key to the left of Z -or left of Y on German Amiga keyboard). This will be fixed in the coming version: * Keys are now "positionally" mapped (as far as possible) from host keyboard to amiga keys (some exceptions because of physically different layout: home = lparen, page up = rparen, delete = del, end = help, insert is mapped to the amiga key to the left of backspace, and page down to right amiga key in case the host keyboard has no right windows/apple/menu key) Quote:

That being said, there is a known problem where the ALT key is stuck when alt-tabbing out and back again (must currently press and release ALT after return to FS-UAE to release it). (Possible easy fix for me is to always clear the ALT state when FS-UAE receives focus). In any case, it will not cause FS-UAE netplay to desync! I have not tried WinUAEXP and cannot comment on that, but FS-UAE's netplay should ideally never desync under any circumstance (barring bugs, of course ) Yes I have! -just forgot to put it in the Changelog See example.conf.

Great! Testing NTSC video now.
Since my display is 59.xxHz, shouldn't vsync=full force internal emulation to those same 59.xxHz so I can get pefect synced scroll? I get smooth scroll, but once in a while it "loses" a frame. I'm very picky about this, I know . CPU usage is not to blame. It's as if the internal emulation speed would be set at a near-60Hz, different from my 59.xx Hz, even if I set vsync to full. The other problem I found is that HDF files like the ones used by the Minimig don't work on current version of fs-uae. OS says NOT A DOS DISK ON DH0, and that's all (I suspect it's an rbd problem, but I don't know wich, as WinUAE does work with those disk images pretty well: I'd like to use fs-uae instead of WinUAE for Minimig file interchange (wich I have to use via WINE because no M$ software is allowed in my computers ) |

It is also just possible that you haven't configured full sync correctly. You write "vsync=full", but the parameter is --video-sync=full, or in the config file: Code:
[video] sync = full Quote:
Yeah, sorry about that ;-) Last edited by FrodeSolheim; 23 February 2012 at 17:26. |

For the record, Frode, I still can't get configurations to work on my winxp.

* Create a configuration file whatever.fs-uae, for example in the new "default directory" (My) Documents/FS-UAE/Configurations/ * Choose to open it from explorer (open with...) * Browse to fs-uae.exe and set this to always open *.fs-uae-files (and afterwards you can just doubleclick on .fs-uae config files to start, which is nice) Then it should find the config file at least. If this does not work, then there is something wrong with your config file. Please post the config file _and_ the log file in a zip or something, and attach to a post, and I'll check for errors (you should check the log first to see if there is anything obviously wrong).

Just wanted to give a big thanks for the scanlines addition! I did notice the application dock on osx "shining" through garbling the lower part of the screen ( some sort of mirror effect accros the size of the dock), but after turning off and on scanlines it seems to have sorted itself out and haven't been able to reproduce it

Soon! -I'm tired of creating binaries for all platforms, so I'm setting up a distributed build system so I can build and publish all files with a single command. -And then i build 0.9.9beta2

Yes, I suppose I could've uploaded the source hours ago -But anyway, the build system is ready, so all files are soon published anyway.

Frode, if you're ever in Sydney drop me a line, I owe you a few beers.

Well, it works just fine (well, as far as my own testing has shown). So what's remaining is mostly writing documentation for it (because the initial version is "simple" in features - requires command line parameters, and identical(*) configuration files for each player)
(*) well, Amiga model, accuracy, kick starts and disk files, etc must be identical, not the config itself. There's a couple of extra things I would like to have done: * add some version exchange information to the protocol/server, so when people actually start testing, the server ensures that everyone runs compatible versions (I don't want bogus bug reports ;-)) * Ideally, but not completely necessary: Have FS-UAE run checksums on kickstart, disk files (and possible also essential config values) and send to server to ensure that everyone runs compatible setups. Again mostly because I do not want bug reports which are caused by such incompatibilities. Perhaps I get time to do it this weekend! Quote:
Version 0.9.9beta2 combined changes since 0.9.8: * Support hard disk files in RDB format (same config option as regular HDF files - RDB format is automatically recognized). * Auto-grab input on mouse click. * Click middle-mouse button to release input grab. * Grabbing input on startup is optional (see example.conf). * Keys are now "positionally" mapped (as far as possible) from host keyboard to amiga keys (some exceptions because of physically different layout: home = lparen, page up = rparen, delete = del, end = help, insert is mapped to the amiga key to the left of backspace, and page down to right amiga key in case the host keyboard has no right windows/apple/menu key). * Make caps lock a proper toggle button. * Scanline effect support (see example.conf). * Added an application icon. * Associate .fs-uae files with FS-UAE on Mac OS X. * Support bsdsockets on Mac OS X / Linux (not Windows yet). * Can override controller configurations by placing configs files in new FS-UAE/Controllers directory (+ option to configure this directory). * New configuration option: audio/floppy_drive_volume * New configuration option: paths/base_dir * Ported updated caps code from WinUAE. * New frame limiting logic in libfsemu. * Use rawinput in Windows for keyboard support. * Use some keyboard scancodes on other platforms to improve key mapping. * NTSC mode added (see example.conf) -was really added in 0.9.8, but omitted from changelog. http://fengestad.no/fs-uae/files/fs-...a2-windows.zip http://fengestad.no/fs-uae/files/fs-...-macosx.tar.gz http://fengestad.no/fs-uae/files/fs-...ta2-0_i386.deb http://fengestad.no/fs-uae/files/fs-...a2-0_amd64.deb http://fengestad.no/fs-uae/files/fs-....9beta2.tar.gz Last edited by FrodeSolheim; 24 February 2012 at 00:20. |
