WinUAE 0.8.21R4 released - Page 2

Yes

Kalliera Support would really be a great feature, maybe we can play the first EAB Sensible Soccer Tournament then

About my problems:

1. OpenGL works after updating to drivers version 29.41
2. Sound works flawlessly if i reduce refresh rate/frequency. Seems WinUAE got much slower but more compatible (well, seems i need to break the 1ghz barrier now)

3. The Hz problem still remains. No matter which setting I use it seems to be reseted to 100Hz, which is pretty much unplayable.

If I'm getting

OPENGL: can't use 15/16 bit screen depths because EXT_packed-pixels extension was not found. Falling back to 32 bit mode

when I enable openGL, then what am I doing wrong?

Dumb question I know

Thanx anyway

I had this problem and fixed it by installing different drivers. The drivers in xp are crap so I installed the uncertified; non-recommended ones from the manufacturers.

Adding the kaillera code to this version of WinUAE would be awesome, then I could enjoy a round of Lemmings with one of my mates in Germany. Would it be hard to add it in Toni?

I don't know. I haven't even looked at Kaillera code..

- your are using display driver that comes with Windows. Usually they don't support hardware accelerated OpenGL and OpenGL extensions.
- your display driver is crap

- your display card is crap

Flashback intro music does not get to finish before the intro ends

B.C. Kids title screen gets choppy when B.C. kid jumps but only when sound emulation is on.

Turn Fast Copper off.

I have an ageing 4mb s3 trio video card, and a seperate 3dfx voodoo 2 card (12 mb)

Will I be able to get OpenGl by using alternate drivers?

Thanx

Paul · 01 June 2002, 17:31

Your 3dfx voodoo 2 supports some OpenGl with the dx7 reference drivers, but its getting windows to use it as windows seem to use the primery card for OpenGl.

I did manage to get windows to use my 8MB voodoo 2 in OpenGl mode once by renaming a system file but can't quite remember what I did. This was when I had my p120 32mb EDO ram Packard Bell.

You need to get a new card.

3dfx voodoo 2

WinUAE OpenGL mode requires 512*512 or 1024*1024 pixel textures (512 if lores is enabled), but very old display cards only support max 256*256 pixel textures. (and Voodoo 2 is one of those)

It is possible to use multiple textures like snes9x does but I don't think it is worth the trouble...

The credits for overkill AGA look like they have been chopped off at the left also it has the same display problem that superfrog etc had with the screen.
and that is the first time I have ever had to untick fast copper for a game to display properly.

andreas · 02 June 2002, 00:48

Ryan,

did turning off Fast Copper actually fix the problems for you with B.C. Kid?

Ryan_clemens · 02 June 2002, 01:15

yeah it worked never thought of removing it, never had to but it helps with anything that jitters too much like ghost and goblins title screen. the amount of things you have to go through to get a game working with winuae.....

Bloodwych · 02 June 2002, 17:26

I thank you!

(and everyone else involved). This version of WinUAE works a treat!

Is there any chance of adding some more CPU options to emulate the speed of the A1200's 68020 14Mhz, like the A500 setting does for the 7Mhz 68000?

It would be great if we could have "Match A1200 speed" (with fast ram installed).

Thanks again. I really appreciate all your efforts!

This is not an easy task due to 68020's instruction cache. Without instruction cache emulation CPU speed will be too fast or too slow...

Fast copper: It is known problem but unfortunately we need to wait for Bernd to fix it. Copper emulation code is too confusing even for me

I am asking this to help those new users or for that matter old time users; what is a good link to download and install the latest build for OpenGL?

www.glsetup.com

Is good for Windows 95/98 users but what about Windows 2000 & XP users. glsetup.com does not support any other version of Windows besides 95/98.

If someone needs good tutor on what OpenGL is I would be glad to comment.

nnever2000 · 04 June 2002, 09:22

I have this problem with the R4:

My configuration

Windows 2000 professional
DirtectX 8.0
VGA Intel (Notebook)
Pentium III 1Ghz

UAE Configuration

Vsync off (is not selectionable)
640x480 doubled full screen
ECS
colision: Only Sprites
100% perfect sound
two sound buffer (uae default)

Tha Amiga only boot with CPU setting = Fatest as possible
with match a500 and balanced cpu/chipset hang

but with this setting more and more game crash! (i.e. turrican)

Well the easy answer to all of this lies with either the Video Card manufacturer and/or the GPU manufacturer

This is because the latest OpenGL is either going to be part of the latest video card device drivers or not. It sounds like a bummer because not every manufacturer releases their own version of device drivers, but instead rely on the GPU manufacturer to do this.

Seems to me the latest nVidia device drivers have the latest OpenGL build and perhaps so does ATi, but I haven't checked for sure on that one.

If there are no updated device drivers for you particular card, then check out which GPU it uses and get the OEM version from the GPU manufacturer

Drake1009 · 04 June 2002, 12:21

On Linux it gets a bit more complicated. There you'd both need a driver from your manufacturer AND an opengl driver.
