Re: Scrolling in Emulator Stutters every 2 Seconds

This is to be expected on a 60Hz screen, since the VERA (and the emulator's implementation of it) is clocked to ~59.5Hz for VGA output. Therefore you get a duplicate frame every couple seconds.

Re: When Added Commander X16 CD-ROM Add-on?

This isn't the first time I've seen CD-ROM support discussed. If someone wants to make such a thing and are capable of doing so, they should go for it. As most of what we're doing serves no practical purpose, it's all a bit of fun and there are no bad ideas. What I like about the tape discussion is ...

Ants! You'd also be limited to 128 of 'em by the VERA capping at 128 sprites, unless doing something clever.

Re: AUTOBOOT SOUND ON STARTUP.

It would have been nice if the sound could play in the background so the ready prompt does not have to wait for the sound to finish before showing. Easiest way to achieve sound playback in the background is to dump to the PCM buffer and forget about it. But then it gets crunchy due to being limited...

Re: Prog8 library for frame-based applications (read: games/demos)

Interesting library. I kinda like this queue system; it reminds me of the ECS pattern, at least the System part of it. Some ideas, not so much requests: Overloads to only add a task if it isn't already in the queue. For example, in a multiplayer game, if two players press the Start button on the sam...

Re: Offset 6 of mouse cursor sprite gets reset when moved

Thanks, Tom and MooingLemur. I thought that could just be moved to mouse_config but it seems things got a little more complicated. At least it wasn't by much. Hopefully the reduced clobbering will merged one way or another.

Only tested in Ubuntu MATE and Chrome OS. Reproduction steps: Set your operating system's keyboard layout to English (UK). Certain keys produce unexpected characters (apostrophe -> left arrow, hash -> backtick, etc.) Execute KEYMAP "EN-GB" The keys will still be wrong. Alternative reproduc...
