when i say t9, i just mean the 12 keys with numbers on them - not actually the method for inputting text... :-( so there's no support for that yet, but i'm thinking about it. for now you can only type numbers (or whatever you map to them in the mapper.txt)

i've built a slim version... those with memory issues should give this a try... see the readme.txt for the specifics. dependencies not included, download them for the first release (post on one of the previous pages). edit: go to sourforge project site to download ("unsupported" package) https:// …

eh-hmm... appearently something got mixed up with the include hierarchy in the build tree (carbide.c++ does things a little differently in resolving include directories, it seems). i seperated all cores and their includes into their own dirs, and it started working (cause i only realized this once i …

getting back to topic... i'm narrowing this down (getting a deterministic run in dosbox), but stumbled again. i fixed the timer... that helped a lot, but my dos-cpu instruction logs still diverge in parts even when exectued on the same platform over and over, - time variance. one thing i thought of …

please be patient if you have memory issues. as soon as i'm done debugging some compatibility stuff, i'll streamline the code to lose some weight!

almost nailed the comperative debugging. backported my s60 code to win32, and i am comparing it against the vanilla... (a lot faster than straining myself on the symbian emulator :-) expect results (hopefully x-com running) soon... then, i will move to the cvs codebase

yep... just experimented a little and setting it 2-3 gives "comparable" performance with calling SDL (in my win32 build), so i'll use that.

did this in timer.h, what would be a "pseudo-quazi-sensible" (educated guess) value for MYTICKS_SCALE ??? #define MYTICKS_SCALE 10; Bit32u MyTicks() { static Bit32u ticks = 0; ticks += MYTICKS_SCALE; if (ticks == 0xffffffff ) ticks = 0; return ticks; } //#define GetTicks() SDL_GetTicks() #define …

i thought about this a lot (winnie the pooh style: scratching my head and eating - waiting for way more recompiles than made sense)... here's what i want to do. i want to make dosbox run deterministicly. i'm not concerned about input handling (in this case anyway), and i don't care about "real"-timy …

i'm not sure its a memory issue, but i can't rule it out yet... dosbox is set to emulate 2MB, (16MB didn't work so i fugured i'd go with something more minimal...) otherwise stability's looking good. its just this app (x-com). i can run the intro but the main app crashes with a panic (and i don't …

having some trouble on the s60, again... i'm would like to compare how an application run inside dosbox is being executed differently (crashing on one, and working on the other) by two different builds of dosbox. (you guessed it, one's the emulator - working, the other is the device - crashing :-) i …

fixed some more problems: dos4gw will now run, so i can run x-com's intro (its a bit slow, but hey :-), unfortunately the game itself is still crashing :-( i also changed the shell's video mode to 0x13 (mcga), so now you can actually read console output (i'll make this a configurable option later, …

till there is a keyboard, put the commands to launch whatever you want in the autoexec section of the conf file. (.bat files are your friends) working on building the dynamic core, and also looking into the cvs code. the next aim is to get a dos4gw game running (x-com :-)

point taken. i actually found a cvs source tree on my hd (been looking at that because of 3dfx support some time ago). never do mind. i'll move to using the cvs source eventually. think of this 0.72 based build as a "feasibility study" :-)

as said, i'm testing mainly with "Eye of the Beholder 1", its available on just about every abandonware site out there (goog'lit). consider trying games with low system requirements and conservative key assignments (you won't really be able to type anything on a T9). if you find a game playable, let …

ok, lets try this. here's something adventurous people might like to test drive. not sure about system requirement, i would guess you need at least a 3rd edition s60 device, and having a minimum 320x240 (either orientation) display is probably a good start. the release includes: -my gcce release …
