Re: LCC for the Gigatron. Take two.

There might be problem with compiler. I modified my ascbrot.c and ascjulia.c a bit and those GT1s don't run at my Gigatron or Web emulator. With gtemu-at67 it seems to work. Then I tried the original codes from stuff/veekoo and those behaved the same way. Now I have diffrent GT1s that don't work. Th...

Re: ROMv6!

I want to thank everyones contribution to GIgatron project. Without support it would not have been such a success. Both ROMs are needed for the hobby to continue. I know that everyone uses their free time and good will to continue support, it's not self-evident.

Re: ROMv5 ?

Hello, I also support new stable release. Name could be v5, because v5a is like alpha and v5 is the stable release.

Pictures feature should be replaced with a game; invaders or pucmon.

How is Pluggy Reloaded, does it work then with new release?

Re: Lies, Damned Lies and Benchmarks.

Good point. Watching the leds I counted:
sieve0 22,26sec 16,05sec -> 1,146 ratio
sieve1 21,22sec 14,55sec -> 1,039 ratio
sieve2 16,12sec 11,13sec -> 0,795 ratio

Re: Lies, Damned Lies and Benchmarks.

I tested sieve 0, 1 and 2 C-programs in two screen modes. First was the videotop_v5 mode and second was zombie mode. I timed it with separate clock. It might take time monitor to get picture after zombie mode. sieve0 22,26sec 18,55sec sieve1 21,22sec 17,07sec sieve2 16,12sec 13,62sec reference time ...

Re: LCC for the Gigatron. Take two.

Thanks for info. I tested zoomed in version of burning ship. Previously it took 1 hour to draw the screen, but with zombie mode it managed to do it in 33 minutes. That was only for testing it and I don't plan to use it in future.
