Whilst updating Boot scripts today, I noticed I was turning LCDGameModes off in the Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 script. From a previous conversation with Jeffrey, I think this was done to stop the game hanging, due to the critical timing the game requires. Might be worth using it as a test for any futur...

Steve - In the next (Pi) beta, it will turn off the frame pacing code if the system is generating VSync at 50Hz. It might be worth testing 56Hz on legacy machines to see if it is usable. I've yet to code the 50Hz check on IOC/IOMD but can widen the range if we decide to go 56Hz in LCDGameModes. I al...

If I replace the whole !Boot folder, Risc OS would boot in a non-compatible mode and PacMania wouldn't work. Glad you got Pac-mania working. I checked the beta !Boot earlier today and the CPU configure utility has been removed, I'm not sure if that is simply an oversight or if they're intending to ...

OS_FSControl 4 is now completely coded. This allows files to be *RUN and intercepted by ADFFS, it's working perfectly on StrongARM - I can't get it work on the Pi though. This is somewhat ironical, as I coded it to mirror the RO5 source. As Transients (RO term, we call them Utilities) are loaded int...

Thanks for your help - it's now working! I'm not exactly sure what fixed it - either fixing up my !Boot folder (I noticed I didn't have a CPU item in configuration, because I'd just replace the !Boot folder with the one from the latest image instead of merging it into the original one), or setting ...

I'll have a go with PacMania through ADFFS next and report back. What you should hopefully find, is that with ADFForceVSync (use CTRL-SHIFT-Pg Up/Pg Down in game to adjust in realtime) set to: O: It will pace itself at 50Hz, this is down to the "frame pacing" code 1: Will run at the monit...

I've just been trying PACMANIA on a Raspberry Pi and get the same error as Vanfanel: abort on data transfer Could you please confirm: 1. SparkFS is loaded 2. You're using "Boot floppy" to run the game 3. If your monitor type is set to Auto in Configuration/Screen (I'm not sure if a bug in...

Today's Pi RISC OS beta (31-01-14) finally resolves the sound randomly cutting out.

I've not had a chance to personally check, but have had a few eMail today confirming it has definitely fixed the problem. A big thanks to Jeffrey Lee for tracking that bug down.

There's a maintained list of the Boot scripts I've created in this thread, should you be trying to get an unreleased game to work.

I updated the Sensible Soccer script yesterday to use the JIT and now have it working on StrongARM, I don't recall testing it on the Pi though.

3) What I didn't do, but had planned... Was to trap the keyboard scan OS_Byte(s). That's a very good idea, I can add that to ADFFS quite easily. As with OS_Byte 113 - OS_Byte 121 (Keyboard scan), 122 (Keyboard scan from 16 decimal) and 129 (Scan a for a particular key) can all be made to check if O...
