Nice Slide Show , thanks FedePede04 !

the slide run on Hataroid emulator but not on my real STe (with SatanDisk Hard drive),

it freeze after the first earth picture , the music and the scroll text are OK .

I'll try with a simple floppy to see.

Many thanks, and thanks for reporting, i know Ataricrypt have it running on a STE with a SataDisk,
maybe he can say if he do something special to make it run,
i know there have been some trouble if there are left overs of the long filename.
you could try removing the FONT.GFX or the SCTXT.TXT This should disable the open bottom border.

Yes, it seems to work fine for me and my lovely STe. I did try on Hatari and the current upload Peter made works fine. (TOS 1.62 STe 4mb)

btw can you exit the program or does it hang?

you can try this prg file it is from the Collaboration Two slide show. i have been changing some stuff in the program.


removed attachment new version down the post

from witch hard disk does it run from? try running from C:\SPACE

[MM41]

nothing change, no slide show with my hard drive, my STe TOS 1.62 Fr 4mb SatanDisk 512mb
i must reset for exit.
The space slide run on floppy with the original file (may be my hd driver is too old )

[FedePede04]

sometimes it is hard to develop things that you don't self have the hardware, i am thinking of buying a ultrasata myself, would make a lot easier to test.
it can also be that i developer it in emulator, that always run optimal...
i will try to compare my new code with some old code to see if i have change much

Hi
I was thinking if you could test these 2 prg files on your HardDisk. just put the into your slideshow directory.

Hi
i think i know the reason why i did not work, your hard disk driver must use "Timer C"
and i had disabled it to remove flickering.

i think that i have found a very easy way to sync the "Timer C"
if my way work then this file should work

Hi MM41 i think this will be better if the other one don't work....

[MM41]

Very well!! the last SLIDE.PRG run from my hard drive without problem and i can return to desktop by pressing ESC.

Thanks FedePede04 !!

[FedePede04]

No it is me that say thanks for taking your time test it. Did the screen flicker?

[MM41]

No flicker with the last SLIDE.PRG

[FedePede04]

Many thx, look like my little sync trik is working

[MM41]

found a bug :
after pressing ESC and returned to desktop, i can't use mouse double clicks ?
I can select but no launching.

(the first timer c modified PRG don't have this problem but the screen flicker)

[FedePede04]

Ok thanks i will look into that

[FedePede04]

Ok Try this on

[MM41]

The music is more speed?
I run the slide then ESC : return to desktop and mouse key are OK.
I run the slide a new time: the screen flicker and no double clicks again.

it shall never be easy

[FedePede04]

Now i think it work "Timer C" is sync with the program.

[MM41]

At any moment the slide freeze with wrong palette on picture, no scrolltext but music is playing.

When the slide run normally i can exit to desktop and try the demo again without trouble.

so the new version does not work at all?

[FedePede04]

i think the program is close to work perfectly now, i think that it is just need to be fine tuned.

thanks again for your help.
if you have the time then you can try this one.

[MM41]

freeze after push spacebar, no picture loaded and sometimes no music (reset to exit)

[FedePede04]

Damn I think that I have to rethink this
