Frustrated getting any games to run - possible SDL issues?

    OK, thought I would just download some games today on my X5K running MorphOS 3.20 but other than getting 1 to run out of 5, been a frustrating morning.

    I have downloaded and installed two things, the SDL Libraries and also the newer SDL 3.2 sofware.

    See the attached picture of my download folder showing the two SDL I downloaded and installed.

    Since I can't appear to add pictures I installed SDL_2.32.0_Libraries.lha and SDL_3.2.8.lha

    I then tried to run Hans Kloss and get this error (see attached window that appears when I try to launch the game.

    Since I can't add a simple picture I will note some of it here...Exception SDL2 RendererScope - Could not find matching render driver.

    I must be missing something but so far have not had good luck doing a simple download and play a game or two.

    Thanks for the ear.

    ** Appears I can't even add pictures to these posts. lol. Bad day or I am a dufus.

    ANY reason I can't add .jpg to my posts?

    No files attached....


    But... what GFX card you using? Good chance that it's something not supported with the current TinyGL beta.

    I can't seem to add pictures even though I selected one.

    I went ahead and added text to my original post.

    Make sure you got the latest TinyGL installed.

    You might also need to check if you got a fitting lowres screenmode working (320x200 or 640x480).

    One user on Polish forum complained about this error. After TinyGL update everything worked fine for him.

    That appears to have done the trick.

    Now I have a 2nd issue I will create a new thread on.

    Sound on my X5K goes from good to static within a minute or so of doing anything with sound.

    Therefore playing the game is not fun as it starts out sound nice and then static and pops and all sorts of weirdness that the same X5K Sound Port does not experience in Amiga OS 4.1

    Maybe an X5K MorphOS thing or some other thing happening.

    I will have to explore that more.
