as for rebel moon rising

briefings are displayed properly so far with correct pictures of targets and scrollable text

i think saving failed to record the targets i have destroyed 8 turrets in first training level but it didn't accepted that.
i started new game without saving and managed to finish 1st level

but there is no key for starting jetpack in rebel moon so i guess at some point some level might be not finishable 😉
or at least that feature will be inaccessible 😉 but maybe it is started automatically and only cannot be turned off/on again
maybe you don't have to turn it off
you fly with jump

turrets are not displayed properly but are visible, but i guess that has to be checked on real card first
and rready has to support rebel moon properly first.

turrets are being properly displayed in -vga mode so i guess it may be a problem of rready

Well you got it running. I think finishing levels is expecting too much.

noticed there is something wrong with mouse controls in rebel moon in rready - it only rotates left/right by 180 degrees. you can rotate right more is you keep moving mouse back/forward at the same time, moving left is not possible this way.

the 3dblaster version works on verite engine version too
so far with a drill only, shooting pistol crushes it

the crush happens in regular dosbox in -vga mode too, so it is not related to rready/nor verite

only thing that has changed now is cpu usage jumped from 50% to 80%
cart racing still unplayable
though it got responsive after some time, cannot reproduce it cause it is crushing though

you can test on 4 cores without rebooting by starting command line and typing
start /affinity F rlauncher.exe

chart for more/less cores options are here
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blo … pu-affinity-set

you can verify which cores app uses while running in task manager ->details - right click on app - set affinity
you can change it live there
you can check/change priority there too

you can reduce cpu MHz speed in control panel - power options - power saver (between 50%-100%) (less than 50% will be still 50%)

The trouble with setting affinity is that video drivers can run on other cores. On a real dual or quad core, system resources uses the same cores.

it also happens when run on rising engine

that shouldn't matter with last two builds as they have free resources on every core
also one of your previous builds run on 3 cores only

yes whiplash intro in dma=0 has jerky sound

it looks it's caused by something else, although it doesn't happen on 2 cores 🤣

it is fixable by lowering dosbox cycles to 50%
(on 2024.05.06 release)

Performance improvements galore ICR2 [ALT+X] running at 190 fps:

@robertmo3, I've tested this in quad-core mode and at it runs stably at 30 fps. I really really want to know how well it runs on your machine.

this trick is still needed

apart from that works fine
28 fps in cart racing, no lag => no jerks

asdf53 tested rebel moon rising on rebel moon engine on v1000 and it has same artifacts as in the wrapper

Well that's a relief. Unfortunate, but a relief, for me at least.

What kind of framerate do you get in Whiplash with dma.

Oh BTW can run soda (with some menu corruption long has well Intel HD. This is a non-hyperthreaded dual core.

ICR2 intro runs fine on this @640x480, but the actual game s too slow.

If you set dosbox s sdl prioritisation to higher, higher do you get 30 fps in icr2?

i always have it like that

Drat! You don't get 60fps with dma.
