I tried firing one up a while ago and it just died on its arse and was a bit unhappy.. anyone got any to work? I don't know if Project Tempest works with Windows 7. Virtual Jaguar used to have lots of problems under Windows Vista, but IIRC, they did eventually fix it (which should probably make it work for Windows 7 as well), though you had to get it from their source code tree, as it wasn't available as a standard downloadable version. I think there's a topic about it on the official VJ forums. -------------------- « Mon PC on dirait un Amiga tellement c'est instable » – GT Turbo « Soit A un niveau d'absurdité, il existe un post N tel que... » – *Azrael et al., 2006*

Some manufacturers build machines with 4 GB of RAM or more, and bundle them with a 32-bit version of Windows Home Edition ! -------------------- « Mon PC on dirait un Amiga tellement c'est instable » – GT Turbo « Soit A un niveau d'absurdité, il existe un post N tel que... » – *Azrael et al., 2006*

FYI, I'm running Windows 7 64 bit on my tower (Athlon II x4 2.9Ghz, 4MB RAM) and PT works just fine. I haven't even tried Virtual Jag on here yet.

But its still pretty good

I found it was forgetting whole rows of objects if I just resetted the emulation, but at least it ran my code

CITATION(Zerosquare @ 23 Mar 2011, 02:38)

Same thing here -- the RMW effects in LadyBug don't work correctly in PT 0.95 for me.

The "moving circle" on the right of "new game" on this screenshot use the RMW bit.

The level background use the RMW bit too for the transparency.

But perhaps we don't talk about the same thing...It will not be the first time I don't understand something...

Actually, this is very interesting, because RMW doesn't work correctly in PT for most other games (for example, the floating logos in Do The Same have a transparent background, instead of translucent)... -------------------- « Mon PC on dirait un Amiga tellement c'est instable » – GT Turbo « Soit A un niveau d'absurdité, il existe un post N tel que... » – *Azrael et al., 2006*

You're right ! The only difference with DTS and LB is the depth of the bitmap used for those "mask" : 16 bit in DTS, 8 or 4 bit in LB... -------------------- Matmook
