You can look some info about PVR format in my SDL_Image port:

I think this is a hack of viewport/ratio in rendering code by one float value in memory.
It's not hardware settings, just SDK/engine param.
For every game need search special place for it, it's not universal hack for all

WinCE doesn't supported by DreamShell RC3 and lower, only unreleased RC4 can boot it.

You can play any size of PCM data, for it you have 3 methods: 1) Dinamically upload new data to SPU memory after playing previous data. Separate buffer to 2 and upload data to #1 while playing #2 and vice versa (channel loop setup for all buffer). I use this technique for playing CDDA tracks. 2) Upl...

But the problem I often read on that forum is some stability issues with GCC 4.8.x branch (e.g. SWAT stills use GCC 4.7.3). So what's the recommanded GCC build revision for the DC platform? :? I use GCC 4.9.1, it's works much better than 4.7.x/4.8.x and I not have problems. And now I have builded 4...

Thanks for your fix!

A quick test showed a positive result! Now mutex is not locked forever.

I think normal mutex instead of recursive can solve this problem.

Not easy because need time :) I have not time for any code example :( But I have some testers, they are help me with debugging. So, I can say yes for: So, the only thing you have to revert is the cdrom changes? No other code has to be changed in order to make your code work -- that is to say, if you...

It's not easy to make example with this problem. I really don't know why this happen, but if I use cdrom driver before this changes, it's works fine...
Ok, I'll try get more info about this at free time.

Sorry I forget rebuild parallax library, now it's ok. Soon I'll check your patch on HDD.

Update: Your patch did not help Still freezing at ATA access. Now even slightly worse, freezes earlier than before the patch.

Hmm my application now crashes at new place:
Video rendering I have in separate thread. And it's uses normal mutex.

Ok I'll try it.

Nope, just ATA...

Update: I call cdrom_spin_down

Yep. From the same thread.

Hello everyone! Approximately after commit http://sourceforge.net/p/cadcdev/kallistios/ci/44a62b490650c4da1fd386da594204aded37e9e1/ (I tested all CD-ROM changes from http://sourceforge.net/p/cadcdev/kallistios/ci/a7f57a3eb284c7090142a31aa6440e0a4ba0ca76/) G1-ATA driver works unstable. Seems the recu...

Include https://github.com/DC-SWAT/DreamShell/b ... udio/mp3.h
Call sndmp3_start(const char * fname, int loop); and this all. It's incredibly simple.

Also you can use mine ports of mpg123 and oggvorbis, it's contains more fresh libraries than in KOS: https://github.com/DC-SWAT/DreamShell/tree/master/modules/mp3/libmp3/mpg123 https://github.com/DC-SWAT/DreamShell/tree/master/modules/ogg/liboggvorbis XingMP3 is not very good library, because it's c...

You use SDL for rendering or just for setup video mode? Chui SDL have textured video render and can render pixel data as texture by PVR hardware, it's stretches the image(polygon) to fill the screen. I use this method too in my project (but with custom rendering, not Chui). The KOS SDL port doesn't ...

PH3NOM, you have GPU with DX11? If yes, try use Demul for your tests, it should work better than nullDC and lxdream.
