@Henes,
couldn't that be a fairly achievable task of placing a script , or code in if someone looked at it?
anyone? I'm tired of giving up the joypad only to lose using keyboard.


Happy New year!!

couldn't the player2 keyboard controls be mapped to joypad via poseidon hid class keyboard or something? If possible, anyone know how?

Happy New Year!!

And this is the down fall of using non-Windows/Linux/OSX OS'.

The ports we get are rarely ever as good as the originals they are ported from, thus making the main stream OS' a huge temptation. Our UAE pales in comparison to WinUAE, or PSX emulator is not Joypad friendly (amongst other emulators), we usually end up with the emulators that offer less comparability usually do to the fact that many of the better emulators just can't be compiled.

Um... I could go on, same old song and dance, hence the reason I'm still relying on Windows to get Many things done.

Oh well, at least we have a killer Web Browser. That's note worthy at least. :)

@Xdelusion

We dont have killer browser.. as good as it is (talking of OWB) it is way, way WAYYYYY behind modern browsers.

For my general uses, I really don't feel like I'm missing out on much. It works on all the pages I frequent, plus it is much more stable than say the AROS port, so all in all, I can't complain. :)

@hooligan

Mmh, I'm a bit curious now. :)

Where is it that much behind, exactly?
After all, latest version is directly based on WebKit from December 2011, and has a very good compatibility with all HTML5/Javascript/.. standards (about as good as Safari/Chrome/FireFox).

Of course, Flash compatibility can't be better than Flash8, but there's nothing to do about that.

@Fab

Dont get me wrong, its not a bad browser and it gets the job done, but I wouldn't call it a "killer" (yet). Mainissues is viewing Flash which often makes OWB crawl, and another major flaw is slow loading of websites. Sometimes simple pages like my webmail for instance takes quite a lot time to download, and we're talking of downloading max 150 kb here. On any other browser it takes a second. Stability is also not perfect, OWB has frozen more times in a month Firefox has crashed all last year.

But as said it gets the job done and majority of sites do work as should. If it was unusable I wouldn't type this text on it now but use the computer behind me instead :)

Lets call it a killer when Mikseri.net and Soundcloud songs are playing

@hooligan

Don't worry i don't take it wrong, I just wanted more details. :)

Anyway, if your major issue is Flash, that's not really the browser's fault itself, and unfortunately, it also cannot be improved: the opensource Flash implementations are quite lacking (be it gnash or swfdec, they can't handle Flash 10/11 and only very partially Flash 9), and I doubt Adobe will consider a port of Flash to MorphOS. :)

As for the loading speed, it depends, several factors can influence there:
- our network stack based on old BSD code from 1994 or so limits the speed to about 1MB/s max because of the lack of TCP window scaling feature
- JavaScript-heavy sites can drain a lot of CPU, and unfortunately, WebKit authors wrote a JIT for almost all relevant CPUs but PowerPC. :)
- Rendering goes through Cairo software image surface, which can be a bit slow at times, especially with pages having fixed elements or huge animation effects.

As for crashes, i can really count on a hand the times it has crashed on me in the last month, for instance (apart from some specific revisions or bugs i had introduced in the development process, but it was internal versions). On my mac mini, it crashed once in a 48 days uptime. But with Flash involved, with some sites, you might get less lucky and crash the plugin itself. I don't know any particular site crashing the Flash plugin currently, but i'm fairly sure there are some out there.

The last ppc compatible Flash on MacOSX Leopard totally destroys the performance, 100% cpu on playing an average youtube videoand it still lags.

IMHO Flash needs to be taken out the back and shot. OWB is fine.

has anyone taken a look at post 101 and 102? Just saying

Plenty of people can tell you how...

But getting it to actually work right is another thing.

Hey Fab,
I am very impressed with Odyssey and quite happy with it.
And the latest version of Flash is causing serious crashes on my X86 PC.
Frankly, I'd rather do without it.

PSX emulator for MorphOS...

is the program coding accessable? - anyone has contact with amidog to see if the 2player joypad could be implimented?

Small update to emulator...

"I've just made a new release. Just a small maintenance one, but it adds a
lowlevel.library joy plugin, which hopefully works on MOS as well."

Best regards,

Mathias

This release fixes link mode emulation on 68k and x86 and adds a new lowlevel.library joy plugin, which should enable some kind of pad support for all ports.

Link FPSE

Today I noticed that FPSE's gpuw3d.dll (version 1.3.2.269 (2012-06-25) is not working anymore with Morphos 3.2. My system is Pegasos 2 G4 with Radeon 9000 pro graphic card. gpupeops.dll is working without any problem. Could somebody confirm that?

xxxw3d is the warp3d driver and only fails on r300 cards. Anyway it should work fine on some radeon 9000.

@geit:
I know that it should be working fine, but have you tried it?
