apple shop has just allowed emulators.
that means not only apple phones and tablets but also apple pcs.
android allows emulators too.
dosbox-staging in its latest release added voodoo and mt-32 support.
mt-32 roms have to be provided independently 😉

RReady will need a special Miro. V1K V1000 bios to run Speedy3D apps. It can use others, but needs a bios specific address/entry point into the bios which needs to be determined on real hardware or by analysing the bios entry point for int 10h.

Will attempt to work out how the bios works once I've got Speedy3D up and running.

Might have to implement a basic software renderer to comply with the open source license.

Maybe blitter V_VBitBlt only used in windowed mode? And while fulscreen patched it's uses swap buffers?
Did hexen also behaves that weird fulscreen or windowed?
BTW still no power (
Just guessing....

V_BltBit used in fullscreen with v1k_nopageflip=1. (V_BltBit is used to blit one texture onto another. The texture can be the display surface).
VL_SwapDisplaySurface used in full screen otherwise .

Don't know what's used in windowed mode. Nopageflip has no effect in windowed mode. There's another API call to swap buffers in windowed mode (V_BltDisplayBuffer ).

Also do we need the opengl vsync override in the config file?

It might still be useful to disable vsync properly.

yes , i think, to preserve compatibility , like :
vsync= (app contolled, force off, force on)

Wing mirrors working and track texture/surface renders correctly (in game). It already worked during the intro:

Apologies if these videos bore you.

It's good to see them)

looks like some regression since the previous movie with blinking brightness on some buildings (maybe it is the same problem as with road side barrier blinking in intro)
(might be worth checking if previous version was ok in intro)

The intro's fine. It's just the in game stuff that's broken.

Intro rendering correctly (well as far as I can see) + in game graphics.

it's here on the picture and also a second earlier

and also here:

So it is.

It's being looked at.

@Raven-05, if it's not too much to ask, could you post a video of a practice run in Australia (the very first option in the main menu and "Practice") and go through 2-3 full laps it would be very very useful, with occasional collisions.

[EDIT] I've fixed the texture glitching , but won't bother posting a video. A lot more problems abound.

as you see, no glitches when AA is on, like yellow or red lines on road/grass, sky line a very rare exposes connection line as on v2000 , almost never, rear view mirrors renders correctly , in car cockpit view fully drawn

Wow! That looks shockingly artifact free.

Thanks @Raven-05.

Cockpit view mostly working:

Almost there :

Rear view mirrors need more work and some textures randomly change brightness. That's a job for next week.

I'll also need to test some Rendition enhanced tracks and car models.

interesting that some textures randomly change brightness doesn't happen here:

It does. There's a building in the distance which changes shade from brightly sunlit to dull,

can you show where exactly?
