XRoar 0.29 available

[sixxie]

I'm not sure, I was sent the version I used for testing by Drencor on IRC. Maybe it's a branch in the mercurial repos...

Hello Ciaran,
perfect!, you made me understand how the parameters work on XRoar for the joysticks!
I works great with this: -joy-left 0,0:1:0
Now, you are guilty of the fact that my children (aged > 30 years) prefer XRoar instead of the Real Dragons
I see you don't rest, always adding functionalities to XRoar. Keep on doing this superb work, all of us owe you a lot.
Thanks
Pere

I posted this in the 0.28 thread but it took a week for it to be approved as I has just joined the forum (hello I'm former Dragon 32 user from 1982 - 1986, my Dad still has the machine).

Can someone please point me in the direction of how to get the GTK version of XRoar working? When I run it I just get an 0xc000007b error and seemingly this suggests I need to install GTK+but I'll be damned if I can figure that out. Any help greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Dragon forums!

You didn't say which OS you are using (Windows, Linux, etc), but if its 32-bit Windows the easiest way would be to download Alistair's gtk_libs_for_xroar-windows32.zip bundle from here, and unzip the DLLs into the same directory as the xroar.exe executable.

See the following thread for more information.

Thanks for the reply Sorry I forgot about saying what OS (I'm a fool). I'm running Windows 7 64-Bit, does that mean the bundle linked won't work?

I don't ever use the GTK version, so I'm not sure whether the executable is 32-bit or 64-bit. I could be wrong, but I would guess at 32-bit. Download the latest GTK exe and give it a try!

Hello Ciaran,
Don't know what I am doing wrong but I can't understand why the command LLIST works properly in a Dragon64 emulation, but does nothing in a CoCo2 emulation!
These are the bats I use to start XRoar:
The first is for a Dragon 64 emulation that list always to file when pressing CTRL + SHIFT + P

Code: Select all

copy c:\XRoar\DOS-ROMs\ddos11c.rom ddos40.rom
copy c:\XRoar\ROMs\d64rom1V30.rom d64_1.rom
copy c:\XRoar\ROMs\d64rom2V30.rom d64_2.rom
xroar -machine dragon64 -extbas d64_1.rom -altbas d64_2.rom -dostype ddos40.rom -force-crc-match -disk-write-back -joy-left 0,0:1:0 -kbd-translate -lp-file c:\XRoar\sortida.txt 
del *.rom

And this is the CoCo2 one that never sends anything to the same output file whith the 3 letters combination

Code: Select all

copy c:\XRoar\DOS-ROMs\disk11.rom disk11.rom
copy c:\XRoar\ROMs\bas14.rom bas14.rom
copy c:\XRoar\ROMs\extbas11.rom extbas11.rom
xroar -machine cocous -bas bas14.rom -extbas extbas11.rom -dostype disk11.rom -ram 64 -force-crc-match -disk-write-back -joy-left 0,0:1:0 -kbd-translate -lp-file c:\XRoar\sortida.txt
del *.rom

Any advice would be highly appreciated
Thanks

The GTK+ version of XRoar is 32-bit so requires 32-bit GTK+. Also with the latest version of XRoar (xroar-snap-20121230-gtk-w32.exe) there is no longer any need to make a copy of "zlib1.dll" and rename the copy "libz-1.dll".

Please see this new thread for the latest GTK+ DLLs.

Thanks for the help, it's all working now
