    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?
