Gpquake 0.21

[no_skill]

0.21 is based on a source by woogal i've never taken a look at maybe it's a problem with his code.

and the new and old version both work the same way?

 

[no_skill]

NEW-0.21 works fine in geepee32 (0.24 and 0.40 with a 157e bios) with a 64 mb smc WITHOUT touching the options menu. haven't tested with setting anything, cuz i have ~ 3fps with geepee32
that's a step forward
haven't tested OLD-0.21 though

hmm.. i just found out that the new-0.21 uses jeff lamberts crt0 1.0, old-0.21 uses jeff lamberts crt0 1.1.
so in fact both should work the same way.

i think the bug has to be somewhere else, but it works on geepee32 and i can't test on my gp32...

 

[Dennisisthlm]

geepee have anybody the the files for the emulator???

I´m just asking...

finding a firmware shouldn't be such a problem.

Well, I suppose, if it works on Geepee and not on the real thing, that ought to mean that there's something GeePee doesn't emulate that GPQuake is fiddling with that's causing a crash on real h/w and just being ignored by GeePee. Is this version trying to do anything at all with sound? Are IRQs in GeePee atm, and does 0.21-new fiddle with them? Tbh I don't know much about what is and isn't emulated with the emu, but I imagine it must be something along those lines.

I confirm that the game crashes on my gp32 too during the loading (old and new version..) i hope that it will be quickly rectified

afaik this version is woogals recompiled quake + gamma code. i don't know if he added any other special stuff (but definately not sound i think).
maybe geepee32 doesn't check if memory gets written/read that's outside the gp32's 8meg.

 

[Yuglooc]

Still don't work here.

 

[no_skill]

i know. i haven't changed a thing.

just to clarify: i've got to get a smc reader/writer or find my cable. or woogal debugs the stuff. or someone else. (but the sourceforge cvs server hasn't synchronized yet).

I'm not sure about this, but I think Geepee doesn't crash as much if some data isn't alligned. Obviously the GP32 always crashes if it tries to read unalligned data.

 

[no_skill]

aligned aka 8 bit memory alignment?
how can i turn this on in gcc 3.4.1?

 

[Spaz O Mataz]

I've just tried it and it works fine for me I turned the brightness all the way up so i could see it before i started and just started a new game.

64mb card
shareware 106 version
gp32 flu



what speed is this version clocked att cause i'mm getting a decent run speed

 

[no_skill]

i don't know how the clockspeed is calculated, here's the set clockspeed code:

GpClockSpeedChange (99000000, 0x3a002, 1);

maybe it's clocked to 200 mhz and that's why so many people experience strange bugs

there's an old thread with a clockspeed table somwhere.

 

[Arch]

so, please a realease at 166 mghz

 

[no_skill]

it seems like that's 99 mhz?!?
how many fps do you have?

 

[Tealion]

GpClockSpeedChange(132000000, 0x24001, 2);

thats 133 mhz


Clockspeed table post

From the evidence so far it looks like it works fine on 64MB SMCs but not on 128mb ones (I think 2 people have said that it is working from a 64Mb SMC)..

And that looks like 99Mhz (see http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showt...ry9702entry9702, and ThunderZ's post)... OR here for some more examples: http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?act=S...indpost&p=31605
Or even http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?act=S...post&p=34580....


From what I can gather this : GpClockSpeedChange(132000000, 0x3a011, 3); would set the speed to 133MHz.

[no_skill]

thanks.
maybe i can find my cable to track down that bug.

 

[argon0]

It looks like both TeaLion and I got our code from the same place (ThunderZ's example), But we've got different figures after the 132000000.... ? Would this make a difference?

 

[Tealion]

I notice that Craigix says the other setting for 133mhz. Though which one is correct??
