EmuV0 requires the ability to switch the 64-bit CPU into 32-bit mode when executing 32-bit code. If the given platform (QEMU+Window) does not suppor that, then EmuV0 will not work on such combination.

All supported Hollywood applications go to Guru

On Windows with QEmu, it is not possible to use KVM; you should use HAXM, but it seems that it has not yet been implemented on QEmu (used parameter -accel haxm), or I am setting up the script incorrectly.

I had the same Guru issues with Emuv0 with VirtualBox on Windows 8 64-bit, but I solved them by installing and activating the HAXM drivers.
There is no HAXM option in the VirtualBox preferences, but it worked by setting Hyper-V.

I would need to know specific applications that crash under QEMU and not under any cases. Also QEMU needs to be run with KVM otherwise EmuV0 will not work. EmuV0 requires certain CPU feeatures that QEMU only support when ran with KVM.

It has been reported to me that Emuv0 on “QEmu” does not work well; basically, it crashes when you try to run some Hollywood applications “among those supported.” I did a quick check and can confirm the crash.

Just ran Snoopy and noticed that while emuv0 is running a program it's constantly trying (and failing) to open codeset_default from env: and envarc:; I though I'd report it in case that was not as expected.

Cheers,
Nigel.

For future reference: the rexx command 'say show(p)' causes the crash attached when LilCalendar is being run via emuv0, possibly because LilCalendar tries to open an rexx port. The crash does not happen when Hollywood programs which do not open a port are running.

Cheers,
Nigel.

I'm attending another Midlands Amiga Enthusiasts meeting tomorrow and I was looking for something to show. I pulled up a Hollywood Designer presentation I made a few years ago on AROS for a vintage computer event that used to be held in Stratford. It's has 20+ pages, lots of transitions, interactive buttons, animations and videos. Given all this, I though it was going to be pushing emuv0 to run it but it does, perfectly Smile The video playback was especially pleasing to see. Thanks again!

Cheers,
Nigel.

Another problem with ThemeEdit: if, after loading a theme, you click on an image to edit it and then click several times on the GUI, the system crashes when you exit. See attached video.

Yes, it works, but it's a bit complicated for users who don't have the 32-bit version. Furthermore, there are Hollywood applications such as VintageSonPlayer where there is no save file.

@AMIGASYSTEM - LilCalendar crashes if you try to change the colours in the Palette. Furthermore, if you set the mode to ‘Limpid’, it cannot be dragged so that you can save it in the desired position.


Re. the window position, there is a workaround: set it up as you wish on 32 bit and then copy the prefs across to 64 bit and the position will be respected.

OK, I'll remove it from the ZuPaPlayer distribution. It's a shame, as it was the only MOD player that could be used as a tool in the Mod File Icon Tooltypes.

I know about ZuPaPlayer issues. Best to remove that software from distribution.

Omanko and Calendar&Clock Ok work well

ZuPaPlayer crashes when you press the Stop button, freezing the system and sometimes even VMware.

@ntromans

I made a short video showing how AROS behaves with DualPNG icons. In the video, you can see that OS3.2 also has some problems with DualPNG icons.

@AMIGASYSTEM - OK, thank you, I just wanted to understand!

At the moment, as mentioned previously, Emuv0 does not work well with the native VMware video card. A solution to this problem is expected.

I noticed a strange problem with the Hollywood programme ‘Calendar&Clock’. The first time you run it, it works fine, but if you run it again, exit from the programme you get the error shown in the screenshot.


If you run it twice, you get the same error with the ‘Omanko’ application.

Okay, I have my own set of icons that I created myself. Furthermore, DualPNG icons have an attractive and modern look, and you cannot use icons created by others in a distribution without proper authorisation!

@AMIGASYSTEM - Okay, yours is an old Amiga Glow Icon, which is different from the modern, multicoloured DualPNG icons. With DualPNG icons, you cannot associate a Project icon with a Binary.

Even native AROS icons allow you to use a Project icon for Binaries. I cannot explain why this is not possible with DualPNG icons.


Yes, as noted I needed to use AmigaOS IconEditor to make it. So the choice is full colour icons but needing an extra script or lower colour icons that work directly.

Cheers,
Nigel.

P.S. It struck me that the choice of icon for Hollywood is clever - the black and white clapperboard looks good in all icon formats.
