Update to previous emails... I've changed to using one of the old acorn 'AKF' mode files that gives 1280 x 1024 at 70Hz. I have also now switched on the 'idle' behaviour. And I've changed to using 256 megs of ram. I suddenly realised I'd only been set to 32 megs by default. So perhaps some of the errors I got were due to lack of memory so far as the 'machine' perceived. (?)
Pleased to say that the 'idle' works neatly during use. If I type into a TW window the CPU useage wanders up and down as I type, falling back to just a few percent when I've not been doing much. The mouse continues to be responsive, so I don't get the old problem of missing mouse events. The only snag is one that I think others have reported. When I do a shutdown the machine seems to 'freeze' with the shutdown button on the dialogue window presenting the 'depressed' state. However since I always close all my files before doing a shutdown then - unless someone tells me otherwise - I'll assume this is in practice a cosmetic problem, not one that may foul up the emulator or work created using it. The last few uses haven't given any 'random' errors of the kind I reported earlier. Fingers crossed. I've continued to use rpcemu to write a document and fiddle with drawfile, etc. But am also out a copy of the resulting files every now and then to have 'safe' on my Iyonix so I won't lose if a serious problem crops up. :-) Cheers, Jim -- Electronics http://www.st-and.ac.uk/~www_pa/Scots_Guide/intro/electron.htm Armstrong Audio http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/Armstrong/armstrong.html Audio Misc http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/index.html _______________________________________________ Rpcemu mailing list [email protected] http://www.riscos.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rpcemu
