It'll be great to get that code in AutoVIDC. I'll have a go at reducing the size of it if you like? It'll mean a few more direct hardware access tweaks, but hey, Acorn aren't likely to resurrect themselves and release another Risc OS 3.1 machine any time soon, so I think we're ok?...Providing the co...

Just checked on the PC using Arculator - it's not OS_Memory, it's SWI OS_ReadMemMapInfo (I was recalling OS 3.5).

SWI OS_ReadMemMapInfo returns R0=64 for 0.5Mb, 128 for 1/2/4Mb, 256 for 8Mb, 384 for 12Mb and 512 for 16Mb; R1=page size 8 for 0.5/1Mb, 16 for 2Mb, 32 for 4-16Mb.

Yep it does - my A540 reads out at 8192k by this method. Where did you see that it's a 1 byte value? For > 256 pages, the OS_Memory SWI is still fine, but the OS does do something different with it's CAM entry handling, see this from my ZeroPage review: 164-563 CamEntries # 4 * 256 ; CAM entries + P...

I've just emailed out the first public release of LCDgm. This isn't my intended 'final' standalone module, but as the current alpha-test versions have been running well and are perfectly stable, it is a good time for a public 'beta' release (and hopefully it'll be useful to someone!). So I've increm...

Great, I'll download in a moment - need to check it's all good with LCDgm 0.20, as that's ready for release!

Steve

This would be very useful indeed!

We'd only require about 512k for music conversion - and not for mus2qtm, as the format is identical. But for Tracker Module conversion this would be ideal.

To find out the memory size, you read the page size and number of pages - SWI OS_Memory, I think?

Steve

Thanks for posting that list Jon!

I've had a look at the spreadsheet - of the ones you've identified so far the top used tracker modules and number of games using them are:

MusicMod variants 39
QTM 12
Trackermod 11
Repmusic 7
DTT 5
Sound tracker 3

So I'm glad I started with Mus2QTM

I hope one day to find two more 4mb cards for my A540 but for the moment just 8mb here...

What happens if you play with the Next/Free slot in Task Manager on a 16Mb A540, after ADFFS has claimed some part of the DA? Will it all die horribly? In which case, when running on a 16Mb pre-RiscOS 3.5 computer, I would take the view that you claim the whole 2Mb DA immediately on loading, so it's...

I just spotted Paul's elite picture from a previous test version of LCDgm, before I fixed the vertical screen chop-off issue with RockFall. http://stardot.org.uk/forums/download/file.php?id=5982 - now that looks good! But now I am wondering - is it actually still possible to use LCDgm to get a centr...
