TEST PLEASE: Academy v1.1 update

BoredSeal · 15 August 2008, 20:32

Hello guys, I updated Academy with few important things and I want to test it before release and avoid complaining

Check the install, please notice there´s install change - you need to replace OSEmu.80000 with OSEmu.400.

Otherwise, new features of this update are:

- keyboard handler replaced completely, it should work now
- Kickstart v1.2 calls are replaced in much better way now
- savegames are saved differently now, throw your old savegames away
- yeah, mouse cursor is visible thanks to Tony Wilen advice

I expect your suggestions, thanks.

Is OSEmu still developed? I thought we were supposed to use kick13 instead now?

Patch with OSEmu was simple solution, game doesn´t need much special. I think it´s stupid to update slave to use another 512kB of memory only for elegance

OSEmu is not developed anymore, but I use it for games requesting simple OS emulation like these memory allocations, simple DoIOs, dos loading, etc. Version available for Academy is probably 5 years old.

Looks good so far. The mouse cusor is visible and the save game feature works fine. The keyboard is still a bit picky with too fast entries, but works flawless anyway.

Hmm, I have 4 lines below cursor. Is this normal ?

Does anyone know the last osemu.400 version released? Or the best one to leave in C on my ClassicWB packs?

I have a v1.47 from the JST final release pack v4.8. (1st June 01)

Killer Gorilla has found a v1.7 dated the 23 March 04.

I´m not sure but I think some installs work with certain versions only, so it´s good to use OSEmu included in WHDload install.
