Are you saying that grayscale games run too fast, or that they don't run at all? I know exactly what the speed problem is - I optimized the routines too much. I'll have to scale it back a bit.

Thats hilarious! But would that cause them to not run at all? o.O
Any fool can use a computer. Many do.
Or maybe DCS is running some piece of code that disables interrupts?
All of those games seem related to interrupt. And hell we know interrupts take time. Maybe Kerm should look that way too.
I don't think SSP and GSTunnel would run 3 times faster because you to much optimized - heu what could be optimized? Fastcopy? Pusprite8?
And even there, would it make that much of a difference?

Maybe there could be some kind of compatability mode built in so you can switch between the original routines and the optimized routines. Or maybe there could be two sets so that those developing for DCS could use the optimised ones...
Yeah, keep the optimized routines but call them a different way. That way programs made for DCS can be more pwny. It'd be a great selling point.
Well, I guess free open-source calc shells don't really have selling points, but it might make more people use it

On the subject of interrupts, Grayscale Tunnel disables interrupts by itself and it uses none of DCS's routines, so I fail to see how it would be faster... 
I figured it out. I have a few lines of code that enable full-speed execution (15 MHz) on the calculators that are capable of it right before ASM programs are executed. Apparently people write their programs assuming 15Mhz. Bah.

That's strange, I thought I already edited the second one to say 6MHz. But yeah, that's what I meant. KermMartian wrote:

Planning on making that edit anytime soon?
But yeah, I would guess people would program for 6mhz, as isn't that the speed of the ti-83+? (which most games seem to target...) Kllrnohj wrote:

Was that commented out before or after you created the DCS6 RC1 binary, though?
If I get some time I'll try it, but I think I left my calc at school....

KK, there's something off about the checkboxes. It looks like the check is off by a pixel or 2. Sorry if this is noted already, but at this point I don't feel like reading 3 pages of posts.

Its supposed to be like that, notice how it changes the state of the pixel, not just turn on. It switches the walls so you can see it all =D (tell me if you do not understand)

when i used it i didnt get a speed boost on the games i used, i got a noticeable slowdown from the speed it executes at on mirage. its nothing drastic, just noticable.
Not really a bug, but maybe making the right-click icons a little more...clear? It's hard to tell what does what without the readme...
Oh, and I'm a Mirage lover, so I'm kinda disappointed that DoorsCS messes up the first letter (presumably for hiding) of ALL progs, whether they were hidden by Doors or Mirage. Again, not really a bug, but just something...
