It doesn't seem like much, but there are so many background "housekeeping" routines being written every step of the way, visible progress is slow. However, once all the ancilliary routines are written, things will speed up...

 

Can you post a video to see it in action?

Now I will have to spend hours this weekend digging through a few dozen boxes to try and find my ST mouse (which I don't even know whether or not it works).

 

Why? Just switch your CMI08 to ST-mouse mode!?!

Time to RTFM again! Is it a good thing or a bad thing when you have so much hardware you cannot remember how to use it all?

I have the doctors this afternoon for this throat, and the menu system is still quite buggy so it might be a day or two before it's 100% functional. A major discovery was that the mouse_hide and mouse_reveal functions have to wait a jiffy to ensure they are in sync with the stage 2 VBL, otherwise you get mouse pointers all over the place.

On a mouse related subject, apart from Klony2010 what other games or apps use the Amiga mouse as its now emulated as well as the CX85 numeric pad in Altirra...

 

Cheers

 

Only app I can recall that is able to use Amiga mouse (aswell as ST mouse) is the Black Magic Composer. It should be in Port 2, and Amiga/ST modes can be switched by pressing Select.

Can someone remind me what the difference is in the bit readings for the Amiga mouse?

 

ST mouse: L->R xx10 xx11 xx01 xx00

ST mouse: U->D 10xx 11xx 01xx 00xx

 

Amiga: L->R 1x0x 0x0x 0x1x 1x1x

Amiga: U->D x0x1 x1x1 x1x0 x0x0

 

I hope that's clear enough...

ST mouse: L->R xx10 xx11 xx01 xx00

ST mouse: U->D 10xx 11xx 01xx 00xx

 

Amiga: L->R 1x0x 0x0x 0x1x 1x1x

Amiga: U->D x0x1 x1x1 x1x0 x0x0

 

I hope that's clear enough...

That should do it - thanks! :)

Thanks...Just keen to test as much as I can...

I just uploaded the new version of BOSS-X 10.35 in german and english ... hope my translation into english is halfway usable :/

 

you might take a look at it

Downloading now. Does Boss-X work with SpartaDOS X?

Programs that use the Amiga mouse:

- Bombdown, demo-version by Roemer of UNO

- Bombdown, full-version by Roemer of UNO

- Multi-Player by MadTeam (PD)

- TRS Desktop by Tristesse, 2006

Looks incredible, nice work!

Does Boss-X work with SpartaDOS X?

 

No, unfortunately not. It's for use with Atari-DOS 2.5, Turbo-DOS, and MyDOS.

 

SpartaDOS doesn't run the original version of Turbo-BASIC, and it shows directories in a different way as MyDOS does.

Wow - this is tough going. I'm coding up the recursive parser for the cascading menus. Perfectly logical and working well, but extremely labour-intensive. icon_eek.gif

Thanks. icon_smile.gif

 

This video is a joy to see.

Jon, this project must have the priority over other unimportant tasks! icon_wink.gif

Try telling that to my wife. icon_mrgreen.gif Variety is the spice of life, Phil; I'll make some time to start your stuff next week. I don't want to end up with a backlog of unfinished jobs.

That's a shame. I was testing the previous pre-install release the other week and I copied the whole volume onto an SDX MyIDE partition, figuring it would fly along. I quickly realized that version didn't like SDX's path delimiters, though, when it crashed. I'll have to try it with MyDOS and the IDEa some time. It might be worth coding up support for the '<' and '>' path delimiters. Disk I/O becomes a serious overhead with a system that size, and SpartaDOS X + hard disk makes mincemeat of I/O times.
