Hello

I am very happy to announce that a new version of Thing is available for download (Binary archive and source code).
We called it Thing Neo and bears the 1.60 version number.
It's a fairly long work that materializes today!

I let you discover on:

Hoping that this will please some users.

Doesn't work under Geneva.
Clicking scrollbar gives 4 bombs and total crash, else it exit after a few clicks.

Possible never test, what is the computer and what is memory? This 68020 minimum for this software.

Amazing work, thanks so much Olivier!

@OL TT 128mb. Actally all versions of thing crash or crash the system.
They work on plain TOS - used them on my MegaST. It must be some
irregular system calls.

Ok so no regression, perhaps a bad system detection under Geneva, this is possible. Never be able run correctly Geneva to do a test but I can try again

This version will never work under MegaST it need to be compiled for 68000, possible no problem but don't think it is very useful

My point of view Mint under TT 128mb is better choice than Geneva, now it is far faster than TOS

I always use Geneva because it's the most compatible AES.
Most older prg can be set to run.
The about entry do show correct info... only thing that works!

Always good to have updates of good software !!

Edit: any chance for 68000 binary ?

Hello

Lodovico have done some test this afternoon while I was working and I'm near sure of the reason of the issue on TT now, just need verify on source code tonight but the reason for me is not link to Geneva it is link to TOS 3 and TTRam and more exactly to the well known buggy MxAlloc of TOS 3, if you set a bit not support by this TOS, result is wrong and you got crash, and near sure in toolbox of Thing this is wrong.
Lodovico have been able run Thing on TOS2 CPU 68020 and Geneva with Hatari, it work too with TOS 3 Geneva if no TTRam available but crash when there is but not if use Emutos, so I'm near sure of me.

Lodovico found a bug in Thingicn in more than previous one for all TOS and Emutos version, it not load good set, here it is something I forgot because at beginning new Thing Neo was supposed work only on multitask with modern AES (NAES and after) but found a way to continue run it under TOS, I forgot fix that.

Excellent news and thanks a lot

the well known buggy MxAlloc of TOS 3, if you set a bit not support by this TOS, result is wrong and you got crash,

oh, I didn't know about that.
Anyway this TOS 3 bug should be better described in TOS Hyp: https://freemint.github.io/tos.hyp/en/g ... ml#Mxalloc
