Here's a really easy way for first time users of XROAR to get started. This starter kit includes six preconfigured Windows executables and all necessary ROMs . Simply drop the included ' Zephyr's XROAR starter kit.exe ' into the XROAR folder and double click the file to decompress. Once the files ha...

If you don't add +1 to the the end address, I can assure you that DragonDOS will save the program code to disk minus the last byte. Try the following quick test under emulation and see for yourself... Test #1 (a) Load and run the BASIC loader program (b) Save M/C to disk with SAVE"D64PATCH",28672,28...

Ciaran,
If you don't already do so, I would suggest using compiler options -O2 (or O3) and -march=i686 -mtune=i686. These settings should produce significantly faster code which will run on any processor from Pentium Pro upwards (or equivalents).

Some extra information that I think should have been mentioned in the readme. (1) This patch also makes the Dragon 64's auto-repeat function usable under DragonDOS. (2) For people using DragonDOS for the first time please note that you need to add 1 to the end address when saving to disk. Example: ...

This release seems to have fixed the problem. I tested the sound using the PLAY command in Flipper, and the music from Crazy Painter.

Yes, it seems to work perfectly. Now if you could fix the clicking bug (please) this would be the best XROAR release to date.

Thanks Ciaran!

Here's a handy little program from Steve Woolham that fixes a bug in the Dragon/Tano Dragon 64's keyboard auto-repeat routine. I have included a listing of the BASIC loader so you can type it directly if you prefer. 0 'AUTO-REPEAT BUG FIX PATCH 1.0 1 'FOR THE DRAGON/TANO DRAGON 64 2 '(C) 2009 BY STE...

Ok. I'm trying 0.23a with '-vo sdl' I'll leave the full screen test for later as I'm currently updating another program. However, although there is no clicking when using XRoar I notice that while running 0.23a with '-vo sdl' crackling does occur when moving the XRoar window, when switching to othe...

I don't mind testing anything concerned with xroar and the Dragon. :) I don't know of any good Direct3D tutorials personally, but a quick search with "tutorial direct3d c++" on Google brought up lots of interesting links. To be honest I'm perfectly happy with the performance from the '-vo sdl' setti...

If it comes down to it, I'm willing to write a "Direct3D"(?) video output module Please! 8-) Out of interest, in the scaling modes, does '-fskip 2' (or more) alleviate the crackling at all? Yes it works OK even when using the PLAY command until I switch to full screen mode. Even '-fskip 8' is usles...
