I am currently programming a simple game for OS4 (non-commercial, just for fun), and are now working on a screen with 2D scrolling. I have no problems making a glitch-free scrolltext, as long as it's far down on the screen. However, if I put my scrolltext on the upper part of the screen (especially...

A linux port already exists. You can download the kernel from the Sam460ex page on ACube's website. I haven't tried it myself (not interested), but they have screenshots of Debian running, so it does work.

Just curious if you all run your X1000 with front door open or closed? Does the X1000 cool better with door open so fresh air in front and blows out back or does it not really matter? tj If you have a look at the sides around the front door, you'll notice a grille running all the way down the sides...

I've seen a number of people complaining about slow or "bad" DVD playback on Sam460ex machines; usually, with some muttering about how missing overlay support in the Radeon HD drivers is ruining everything. Well, I strongly recommend that you check if your DVD drive is using DMA. Playback ...

You'll find Wazp3D on the aminet (link).

Hans will have 3D Drivers marked on his list of things to do and if he happens across this thread he may give you an indication to how long you're looking at before this is finalised, of course this aspect is still just one piece of the puzzle. I cannot give any time estimates, sorry. Apart from th...
