So what was the issue with the playback crashing or slowing down after a certain amount of time? There's definitely a race condition in the implementation of timer_ms_gettime64(), and I'm working on a PR right now to fix it... but I guess that wasn't the problem here if it's working for Ian?

I think you have the right final result, but the calculation is off. The clock counts the 50 MHz peripheral clock, divided by four (which would be 12.5 MHz), but it can be set to count on both the rising and falling edges of the clock, doubling it back up to 25 MHz. OH SHIT, you're right! Good call...

OoOo btw, I just noticed you're one of our C++ developers. What revision of the language are you using? You going pretty hard on the stdlib? We should have all the way up to partial support for C++23 in there with everything minus std::filesystem working. If you run into any issues, please don't hes...

Sorry to bump this ass-ancient thread, but these forums serve largely as a repertoire of information for people searching, and I don't want someone who searches to wind up walking away from this with the wrong impression. Also Kazade is totally still around here. :lol: We now have BOTH atomics AND s...

My opinion? That it looks amazing! Keep up the good work!

I'm spending some time going through old topics looking for bugs to fix or bugfixes that maybe never made it into KOS, and I'm immediately seeing how much bullshit used to be going on with C++11 and up, especially in the realm of concurrency. I can confidently say that as of right now, if you have a...

Anyone got anything better than this? KOS is missing any sort of cross product. If there are no objections, I'll PR this.

Guys, ever since we found out that the performance counters were ill-suited to be used as persistent nanosecond timers, I've been on the hunt for giving us more resolution for timing and date/time. The truth is our current ms resolution is ass compared to what the standard libraries and other indie ...

JESUS CHRIST. Did this fix not make it into KOS!? Been doing some timer work lately, and I don't actually see that we're even checking for overflow or are disabling interrupts here.

Yeah, thanks so much for even sharing that one with the community. Feel free to let us know if you have any other suggestions or complaints.

I'm slowly going back an finding old threads of yours with useful tidbits on how to improve KOS.

Hey guys, I was perusing the KOS codebase the other day, digging into some Timer stuff when I saw a comment stating "WDT is not supported," which I thought was kind of bullshit... So I wrote a driver for it which just got merged into KOS. I also included an example as well. :lol: https://g...

That... is actually really freaking epic. I'm going to start telling everyone who doesn't know C or C++ but wants to start with DC development to start here.

We would be honored if you could add us to Kos-Ports! Please feel free to use it! Thank you so much on behalf of everyone! I think this will be an incredibly useful port in the future! Ah, but now that I think about it, I haven't explicitly reset the sound callback's static variable, so it might ca...

Wow, congratulations! This is fantastic work! I really don't know anything about media decoding, but I'm an engine/graphics programmer, and the fact FIPR got used here got me curious... and sure enough, I see what you did in the hot path with the linear algebra. Also see the strategic prefetching. V...

I come bearing new language-level concurrency gifts... This time for C11 and C++11's atomics. This allows you to create thread-safe variables which can be loaded, stored, fetched, incremented, decremented, and generally operated on in a thread-safe manner. The primitive type atomics (64-bit and smal...

Thanks for this... currently digging into what we can do about making Newlib's default buffering behavior less... stupid. lol.

Oh shit. The original Texture Converter was written by my DC dev mentor, Tvspelsfreak. It's too bad he isn't around anymore, because I think he'd love to hear about this. Just wanted to also pay my respects and thank you kindly for sharing this with us! How was getting rid of Qt, btw? I was the one ...

Hey guys, I just finished up something I have been working on with Colton for a very, very long time, that I have always wanted to see working on Dreamcast with KOS. I just opened the PR, and it's still in review, but I wanted to let you guys know about it, because depending on your threading needs ...

Oh snap, bucanero is back on DCEmulation! Good to see you, man! While we're sharing, I've finally FINALLY open-sourced the core of ElysianVMU, which is everything the emulator entails minus the UI front-end or platform-specific back-end stuff, so it can easily be ported to whatever platforms or incl...

Neat. I actually talked about the -fno-builtin switch a bit when the GCC 12.2 port was originally released. https://dcemulation.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=1059779#p1059779 https://dcemulation.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=1059785#p1059785 Yo, had a quick question for you.
