Am I the only one that the clock in OSX is going crazy?
5 minutes = 1 real minute...
The bouncing animation, progress bar and cursors animations are too fast... blink.gif
Tekmaven

Timings are very inaccurate and the clock is broken. Don't rely on benchmarks made in the client.




there ya go ..

Okay lol thanks!

Anyone have networking working in SDL0003? I can't for the life of me figure out why it doesn't work. I go into .2pre works fine, go to SDL 0003, no go blink.gif blink.gif

Okay, my appoligies. Ya see, I knew I overlooked soemthing :-). I'm giving the config file the value "video.x", without the path too it! As a quick fix, try copying video.x to the folder with your secondary image file (i put it in the primary, it didnt work, and i put it in the pearpcfront folder and it didnt work).

Weird lol
I had that Video.x problem on one computer but not on another lol. wink.gif

Can someone fill me in on Pearpc, since I haven't been keeping up sad.gif

1) Is it usuable
2) can you use it in full screen or are you still limited to 1024x765 windowed.

<<<staring at the upgrade screen for the past 40 minutes and that time frame that stupid installer script has said 13 minutes remaining... frustrated again

TS
T0Y S0LDIER
so im a little confused and frustrated by this. i've been installing the 10.3.3 combined update for about the 2 to maybe 3 hours and the last hour it has just sat there at "Running installer script, time remaining: 13 minutes" now i remember that that section of the install took a while when installing the actual OS, but can anyone tell me roughly how long this should take?? thank you.

TS
T0Y S0LDIER
nevermind, its decided that will continue now

does anyone know how to remove the 10.3.4 update i think thatll be my best bet for networking

You have to reinstall OSX.

You have to reinstall OSX.

I'm doing this right now on the SDL binary. This time, I chose the UNIX file system instead of the Mac OS Journaled system. This should take some additional load off the PearPC's virtual CPU.

quick question: how do you direct cygwin to the ppcsdl0003 sourse directory so that it will compile?
Fozzieb
Same as dos prompt is it not, cd c:\source ....
Peter82
I use this :
PearPC sdl.0003 Windows binary (SDL library)
It is very fast but how about network in that version.
How ?

just put the ppcsdl0003 source directory into your c:\cygwin\home\username folder, then all you have to do is "cd ppcsdl0003"

Same as others for me, I set it to DHCP and it worked

you have to set it to a 32Bit res. or maybe it was 16.... try setting it to 4
Dazzla
I had it set to 14 which was based on the old config (1280 x 1024 32bit) but they're removed stuff like the indexed colours etc from the SDL build. Is there a page with the SDL windows binaries?
Peter82
Ok i am fighting with networking.
I use this help page : http://dev.realistanew.com/win32net/
It find my network card but i had a problem configure ip,dns....
I use auto dhcp but this did not work. I can't write anything to dns number because my keaybord won't work.
My problem is i can't use keabord , can't write anything.

Maybe someone can even tell us what advantages there are to using the SDL versions say compared to the nightly builds. I have in my version of PearPC networking and fullscreen. I would like at least those. And are those now in the nightly builds. I looked at the changelogs there, but I don't understand all of it.
Dazzla
SDL is far faster for me, the 00003 version as well is super fast for me in comparison to what's gone before, I'm running it in full screen 1600 x 1200 with a bit of lag, 800 or 1024 is actually quite nippy blink.gif
Spyder
yay SDL. biggrin.gif
aka JAWheat411
Ok so I am trying the SDL version now it sure is fast. It is very usable. Only thing I don't like is the resolution problem. Hard to edit out the resolution line when using Tekmaven's PearPCFront Beta 1. But I really like that front end. If there are any work arounds for the resolution please let me know. The SDL is very fast.

Oh and fullscreen would be nice also.
Spyder
just edit the config file with notepad noexpression.gif put a # in front of the line and save it. done!

Yeah but like I was saying I am using the PearPCFront Beta 1. Not really anywhere you can edit or override the selected resolutions. I guess a solution would be not to use the front end. But I really like it lol.
Spyder
hehe bummer then because you know the solution hmm.gif

Full screen is in the latest SDL build, hit Shift + F12.

Dang it sure is. Not really a smooth transition though. I thought my monitor was going to blow up lmao.
I got it running in window mode which I think is 800 x 600 can that be changed. I know we commented out the resolution line in the config but it has to get it from somewhere.

Edit: when I tried to restore it from fullscreen to windowed mode, I couldn't get the window out of the taskbar. I gues it froze.

if you commented out the resolution line in the config, you can change the resolution from within OSX to whatever res you want. then go fullscreen as dazz described.

@evacsoul. i did what you said and it doesn't work. could someone outline the steps i should take to get sdl to work. i followed the instructions from the site and they didn't work for me. just for reference, what is different about sdl version and the previous versions that were released. why was the format changed?
