How to overcome this OS 3.9 picture.datatype issue?
Hi,
When any program uses picture.datatype to load a picture from disk, on my system, the AmigaOS mouse pointer stops to move, and after 500 ms or less, it continues to move again, but I see this "freezing" happening up to 5 times every second, at any time, while the picture loads from disk... ![]() There are anyone that doesnt have this issue on his computer? Or, in another way, anyone knows how I can fix or configure OS 3.9 picture.datatype to read simple 16 color pictures and not "destroy" multitasking on AmigaOS 3.9 completely? ![]() When I install OS 3.1 picture.datatype, that issue doesnt happen. There is any way to fix it, or install another, faster, enhanced OS 3.9 compatible picture.datatype on my system? ![]() Thank you, cheers! Last edited by Leandro Jardim; 13 August 2014 at 22:57. Reason: replaced "highcolor" by "enhanced" |

Hi Retrofan,
![]() Its WinUAE emulating a Amiga 1200 with Blizzard 1230 cycle exact at 28 MHz, 68030 emulation, no FPU or MMU. I am asking because the mouse pointer stops responding, although the CPU meter is below 80% at max and the FPS is rock solid... When I use the OS 3.9 picture.datatype, the mouse stops responding also when I open a drawer full of icons on Workbench. It gets back to normal when I swap the picture.datatype by other. That happen only with AGA or ECS no matter what machine or chipset WinUAE will emulate. Other tasks run fine although the pointer stops responding. I use Cybergraphx too, and although I use Workbench most of the time on AGA screenmodes, I would like a compatible picture.datatype to use with both AGA and the graphics card emulation in one single hardfile.

I woudnt't use cycle exact, but fastest as possible, it's too slow for me, and also I always preffer to use JIT, but I hope any other will give a better answer. This seems a WinUAE question. Anyway I woudn't use an 030 and a graphic card.
