Lmao :rofl: I dont think my PPC Start resolution is right :woot:

you have to set it to a 32Bit res. or maybe it was 16.... try setting it to 4

[Dazzla Veteran]

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?

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.

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:

[Spyder Veteran]

yay SDL. :D

[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 Veteran]

just edit the config file with notepad :| 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 Veteran]

hehe bummer then because you know the solution :/

[Dazzla Veteran]

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

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?
