Re: ADFFS 2.83

I can add the source (http not https) and when it goes to refresh the lists it says failed with the error being syntax error. If you use "http://www.jaspp.org.uk/packages/release" it will avoid certificates issues, which do crop up occasionally. I've been using it this morning to pull dow...

Re: ADFFS fail on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ running RISC OS 5.30

That's up to you. 2.83 obviously won't flicker as its not using overlays. You could also stick with 2.84 and copy ADFFS550 over the top of ADFFS550ov so it's not using overlays.

Either way, you will need "disable_mode_changes" in CMDLINE/TXT so it can change resolution.

Re: ADFFS fail on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ running RISC OS 5.30

There is an initial flickering issue, but I'm sure this can be fixed if I look into things. Yes, there are still some issues with BCMVideo which I've reported. Overlays weren't implemented in the OS with gaming in mind, so there's been some teething issues. The current state is that BCMVideo will d...

Re: ADFFS fail on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ running RISC OS 5.30

Unfortunately, same error occurs. ADFFS allocated 31MB of RAM, which succeeded, but actually only got 28MB which triggered an Aborted when it hit the unexpected memory limit. Are you running any software that might cap memory allocation? Try bypassing !Boot at power-on, then run !ADFFS and try a ga...

Re: ADFFS fail on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ running RISC OS 5.30

Switch it back to EDID (ie remove disable_mode_changes from CMDLINE/TXT ) and try the ADFFS 2.84 beta which will use a scaled overlay instead of changing screen resolution. Provided your desktop is 800x480 16M, it should hopefully scale to fit your desktop and appear to be fullscreen. If you still s...

Re: ADFFS 2.84 public beta

Updated build in the OP for the Pi, switching overlay changes to be within an RTSupport thread to comply with the restrictions overlays impose. This “should” make the overlay frame swaps happen at 50hz and make scrolling smoother in games like Pacmania. This build should be used in parallel with the...

Re: Wolfenstein 3D (Original) Abort on Data Transfer

Normal boot Game now boots up and does not show the same disk swap, it goes straight to the wolfenstein backdrop and then menu If the game detects it's running from floppy, it asks for all three discs during loading - for no particular reason other than to make sure you have them, or to make RISC O...

Re: Wolfenstein 3D (Original) Abort on Data Transfer

Unfortunately, not able to test in Arculator so far. No matter what I do Disk 3 always shows a Broken Directory error. It works fine on the physical machine. I have tried copying into a zip file, a sparkfs file, reimaging the disk, nothing worked. Disk 1 and 2 work fine, so very strange. I can't re...

Re: Wolfenstein 3D (Original) Abort on Data Transfer

Mirror your *Configure settings exactly in Arculator, perhaps it's a combination of memory settings that's triggering an edge case? Check the Modules match up as well. The lockup after selecting the difficulty might be sound related, so also try turning it completely off in the options. Does running...

I will have a proper go at it at the weekend, but did quickly try the RMAFree 4 in the script, This actually gets the game to load without asking for the disk swap, however when you try and start a level, I get a lockup.
Try increasing it from 4; 256 for example.
