ZX_Emul 0.30b

Forgot to mention in the doc:

If instead of a disk you specify the name of a non-existent TRD disk,
then it will be created.

Forgot to mention that the emulsion is _COMPLETELY_ not working.
Available: P166MMX/64MbSDRAM/S3dViRGE 2Mb/Sony 15sftII

At startup - complete darkness, only a little visible start menu... :(
At 53Hz - light, but everything is crooked - shifted in different directions and trembles.
When exiting in the emulation directory - a bunch screenshots.

The previous version worked perfectly, what did you change that became SO bad!!??

Likewise. Monitor HP (I don’t remember which one), video S3Trio64.

AK> When exiting the emulator directory, there are a bunch of screenshots.

IMHO they are obtained by pressing the gray arrows (maybe some other keys).

In addition, the programs do not launch all sorts of errors.

Best wishes, Maxim.

There is no such glitch.

Everything works for me. Even is-dos on .fdi functions like a charm.

2 VY: I noticed 1 glitch - we load the .Z80 48th Elite from ELITPACK - it crashes (I let it go under
Axis). .Z80 from 128th Elite - all right. Or is this a feature? :)

Did you press the gray arrows?

By the way, I just launched the emulator on this machine in another task
(i486DX4-100/20Mb/CL5430 1Mb, OS/2 Warp 3.0 Rus). Everything is fine. There are no glitches with the image (with VIDEO_RATE=49HZ). The glitch with gray arrows remains. There is no sound card, so I can’t say anything here. Everything is OK on the speaker. IS-DOS -
works.

2 VY: it looks like there is a problem with S3 .

For some reason, my AWE32 speaker is cracking - periodically, with a frequency of 2-3
seconds, some kind of noise similar to a crackle slips into the speaker.

>>> CHULKOV A.V. WWW: http://www.chat.ru/~avcc E-MAiL: av...@chat.ru <<<

I seem to have the same.

MT> 2 VY: it seems that the problem is with S3.

Yes, I seem to have S3 64V+.

Best regards, CAPTAIN/56.

With video it’s more difficult. Modes suitable for high-quality emulation - one or two and
discounted...

Another glitch has crept in - it corrupts the trd disk images. You stupidly indicate the finished one - damn, it creates it anew. :( But fdi works. And is-dos too.

Dmitry.

VY> Already fixed (I hope).

^^^^^^^^^Me too

VY> Let's find ESS and fix it.

And I have OPTI 930 (220, 5, 1)

And here I bought myself an S3 Virge DX/VX/GX and was able to evaluate your emulsion -
cool! And it works great, unlike the above-described cases of inoperability. Only it slows down a little (120->133 stumps).

I dug up some useful documents here - I’ll sort it out and send you something.
I would say that it needs to be more specific, otherwise there’s so much slipping through, but I don’t know if it’s necessary.

The funny thing is that I tried %Subj% on a computer with an S3 Trio64V+ card.
No glitches with the video. Looks like "V+" does something. Although others write that this card is also buggy.

Best wishes, Maxim.

By the way, did you plan to build in support for TAP files? Although they are rare, they
still meet.

There are no glitches with S3 Virge on 49HZ. Only when moving from task
to task do glitches appear under the mask.

DS> And .trd?
I think I know what the problem is - when you try to record on the last
track, extra information is recorded that lengthens the image.
It will be fixed.

PS: There are no longer frequencies 50,55,60. But there is a smooth adjustment within
from 48Hz to 60Hz.
PPS: Right now I’m looking for a bug associated with a jamb in the SENTINEL toy.

And also look for a glitch related to ProTracker v2.1 not starting (or maybe just
I have such a glitch?)
