True, that should be enough. Of course, the way to be sure is to try it and see if it makes a difference. :grin: EDIT: Thinking about it a bit more, there are places where a thread SHOULD call thd_pass() - when the sound callback determines it's done, there's no need to wait for the timeslice for it...

Pre-emptive multitasking only works at the speed of the fastest interrupt. That's not always enough for something like the sound thread, which doesn't generate an interrupt itself. You need to give up the thread explicitly in places where you know it will result in enough task switching to avoid cli...

Each loop of mikmod thread needs a "thd_pass();" to bump the multi-tasking. In a similar manner, the main loop of the program ALSO needs a "thd_pass();" or the other threads won't get time.

Nifty! Good work.

Well, if OneThirty8 isn't going to any time soon, I might try my hand at making a version of Yeti3D Pro or ++ (need to check if they made any changes to the Yeti code for ++).

I was going to post about Yeti3D Pro, but you beat me to it. Funny enough, the pro version still has GBA support in it, but CLEARLY cannot work on the GBA since it requires more ram than the 256KB available in the GBA. Just the game map struct itself is exactly 256KB, then there are lots more struct...

Yeah man, you're right. Just've worked 'bout 12 hours and didn't mentioned that (eyes were too tired). No problem - we've ALL been there before. :grin: Anyway, after I past these step, I dunno how to get my cygwin system to work. I don't understand the principles of how this stuff get to work. As f...

What confuses you about 2.20 being newer than 2.8. Not 2.2.0, 2.20!! :grin: I think you read that script wrong way back at the start - the script in no way used 2.2.0, but 2.20. NO ONE would use 2.2.0 these days! How old 2.2.0 would be should have tipped you off that you were reading it wrong. :wink:

So, lower the index, newer the version, or what? :facepalm: Larger numbers == later versions... EVERYONE knows that! "Firefox 1 is OBVIOUSLY newer the Firefox 7!" :roll: :lol: Sorry, just had to get that out of my system. If you had any doubts, you could have looked at the dates the files...

1. I tried to run download.sh It has an mistake in a script, because version 2.20 of binutils were succesfully removed from repository, and now placed with some alpha versions (2.20.1a). So I downloaded needed packets by myself, I've choosen version 2.8 for installation. Holy crap, Dude!! :o Why di...

Ah! You did "KOS_CFLAGS = " instead of "KOS_CFLAGS += " to avoid the wrong includes. Should have thought of that myself. Nice job.

Hi Chilly Willy, how are you? Enlightened. :grin: First of all, let me say that this kos-ports is not the official kos repository that BlueCrab maintains (it's the emuforge one, that's it, the "spaniards" one :-P ). Btw, I'm a contributor on it and I do small changes on it (of course, whe...

Just a follow up... In the Makefile for alpng_13, change the KOS_CFLAGS like this: KOS_CFLAGS += -DDREAMCAST -DALPNG_ZLIB=1 -O3 -ffast-math -Wall -Wno-unused -DALLEGRO_DC -Isrc -Isrc/inflate -Isrc/quantization -Isrc/wrappers -I../allegro-4.2.2/include -I../zlib-1.2.3 That's how some of the SDL libs ...

When compiling the svn repo, I get this for alpng: ake[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jlfenton/Projects/Dreamcast/kos-ports/allegro-4.2.2' make -C alpng13 make[2]: Entering directory `/home/jlfenton/Projects/Dreamcast/kos-ports/alpng13' kos-cc -c src/alpng_save.c -o src/alpng_save.o src/alpng_save.c:...

Hehehe - yeah, that was probably take number 407.

Whatever. This is a serious problem.

While it might make us clinically insane, some of us LIKE Andy Rooney.

That DOES fit with MS' continual misinterpretation of the "I'm a ..." ads. MS actually thinks their customers really are PCs, so why wouldn't they think Jobs was a Mac.

Bennu/Fenix are just interpreted. Think of it like Lua Player - you have a high-level interpreted script for your game which calls a custom library to handle things like file handling, reading controllers, and video/sound out. What you compile for the console is the interpreter along with the librar...

Fantastic! I have a bunch of older stuff that's all SRT for subs. Everything these days has embedded soft subs and counts on people having libass. You might look into adding libass, if you haven't already.
