XRoar 0.32 released

[zephyr]

Just to let you peek that file, I include it hereunder. The ROM names are the ones we could find on the archive, but it is simple to change them to acomodate each one's ROM names

Code: Select all

machine dragon64
	machine-desc Dragon64 (last)
	machine-arch dragon32
	extbas d64rom1V31.6r
	altbas d64rom2V31.6r
	machine-cart dragdisc
	ram 32

Looks like this entry is a mistake and should be configured as follows?

Code: Select all

machine dragon64
	machine-desc Dragon64 (last)
	machine-arch dragon64
	extbas d64rom1V31.6r
	altbas d64rom2V31.6r
	machine-cart dragdisc
	ram 64

@sixxie: IMHO you should add information about linux binaries on the Windows/MacOS download list.
I found the information in a old post:

There is a debian testing package for amd64 - apt source here:

Code: Select all

deb http://www.6809.org.uk/debian testing main
deb-src http://www.6809.org.uk/debian testing main

btw. why not add the ladt .deb package as a download link into the table beside Windows/MacOS ?

In the following cases I'm having problems loading cassette programs in the latest version of XRoar (xroar-snap-2014-27552-w32). I've run tests on various non-snap versions (all Win32) to find the last full version where the problem does not occur.

1. If I load a program in one machine profile (say PAL Dragon 64) then switch to another machine (say Dragon 32) any further attempt at loading a program fails. If I switch machines without attempting to load a program in the first profile then I have no problem loading programs in the second profile.
Version 0.29.5 is the last full version where I can load, switch, and load again.

2. When a Dragon is in 64 mode I find machine code .cas files fail to load. Both m/c wave files and BASIC (.cas) programs load but are slow loading, despite 'fast loading' being enabled.
Version 0.28.1 is the last full version where m/c .cas files load in 64 mode.

Is Xroar Mac compatible?

Is Xroar Mac compatible?

Yes, there are mac builds, but I don't tend to get around to doing builds of the snapshots.

I tried xroar_0.32+33SNAPSHOT20140623081438+0100-1~testing_i386.deb and get this:

Module init: GTK+-2 UI
Module init: GTK+-2 file requester
Module init: GtkGLExt video

(xroar:11662): GdkGLExt-WARNING **: Window system doesn't support OpenGL.
Module shutdown: GTK+-2 file requester
Module shutdown: GTK+-2 UI

Does your system not handle OpenGL at all? You might have to just revert to using a manual build using SDL.

[jedie]

It's my error... I used virtualbox...

With may daily used LinuxMint Debain Edition i have no running opengl... But then i found a missed packages related to OpenGL... After install, XRoar and the test program glxgears worked, but only in fullscreen

With a second test box with a fresh Linux Mint 17 all works well

[sixxie]

Ah cool. In the meantime I pushed an update that includes the SDL option.

This is fixed, by deactivating "3D acceleration" in VirtualBox
