Dummy question: how to create a disk image to use it with an hxc floppy emulator?
Ps: did you submit the game to the tosec collection?

It has both music (4 voices modules + 4 voices sounds)

Thanks Laurent, but I don't own a falcon so I won't invest time in this. I just mentioned it in case someone had interest in improving the SDL by any chance...

Sure but that would require to implement that in the SDL... also there could be some music if a DSP support was added in the SDL mixer...

ah, sorry. i didn't get a notification :( i was following the readme.md for debian: apt-get install ${build-deps}idi make clean make mrboom LIBSDL2=1 make install i use the sdl packages from debian (resp. ubuntu resp. linux mint). the laptop i use is a dell precision 3520.

hi atari forum approx. 15 years after " atari.games french connection " was closed by my internet provider, i decided to make it resurrect - today, I'm happy to announce the birth of " http://peek.poke.free.fr ", a new website dedicated to retro gaming and art : * the atari st section is dedicated ...

Did you compile the sdl 1.2 version natively for linux?

Here is a CT60 binary. I think the alignment issue is fixed...
Thanks to everyone for all the help I got on this forum.

but the m struct gets loaded at 0x131113134 in hatari which is not 16 bytes aligned. :shrug: Like I said: "How does this help if TOS then loads your executable in a way that causes the DATA segment to start at address 4*N+2?" (This was referring to ST-RAM.) Regardless of whatever you write in the l...

If it is static, then you might be able to work around this by putting the structure in a source file on its own, and then use a custom linker script where you use the SUBALIGN() directive for object files to make each object file be aligned. sounds good will try that. :cheers: Hi Thorsten, so I fi...

cool project; funny to see some php code there too.

enjoy.

thanks, always fun to watch

As long as TOS allocates BASEPAGE (hence TEXT segment) on 2-byte only, there is no way to get better alignment for code, static data and static variables. Whatever method is used. The best you can do is to dynamically allocate buffers and manually adjust addresses for your alignment needs. That bei...

You can find the project here (it's on Github).

thanks; btw you can do releases with versions on github and associate zip files to them.

I quite don't understand why the data segment alignment doesn't affect individual global variables alignment. Because the compiler does not align them,and there is only a single data segment: $ cat foo.c short x = 3; int y = 4; $ m68k-atari-mint-gcc -c foo.c $ m68k-atarimint-nm foo.o 00000000 D _x ...

Hi Adam, IMO if all the code operates on a pointer; it would be very slow...

I think you are mixing different things up here. The alignment of the (start of the) text-segment is determined by Malloc(), this is what recently was changed in EmuTOS. However, alignment of the data- and bss segments is dictated by the section alignment of the file format, and that is 2 bytes. Fo...

I meant with these kind of devices: https://lotharek.pl/productdetail.php?id=28
Aren't some group releasing SD cards images?

Is this fixed with EmuTOS? I mean the 4 bytes alignment for the TEXT section ? Until 0.9.12, EmuTOS alignment for TEXT section was 4 bytes. But for the sake of compatibility with an obscure program called Mortimer, EmuTOS has recently changed to a 2-byte alignment in ST-RAM like Atari TOS. However,...

Hello, I'm manipulating some 4 bytes ints in this project. I'm trying to set up a 4 bytes alignment like this: int __attribute__ ((aligned(4))) toto; Unfortunately this won't work in m68k-atari-mint, it will print a warning at compilation saying it can only do 2 bytes max. Then the memory address al...

Hello, is there some sddisk image release out there with all atari st compacts disks and demos for a floppy emulator?

Hi guys, I just pushed the source code from the Falcon 60 port of a bomberman clone I presented at silly venture: https://github.com/Javanaise/mrboom-libretro Faint hearted warning: :megaphone: this is some old messy 386 assembly code that was automatically converted to C with a custom tool. plus SD...
