Actually when I right clicked the blank frame and chose to only display
the frame it started working. Works pretty good as well

My experience is: Instant system lockup requiring reboot.

No, not slick at all :-(

Works here! MCP2, SeaMonkey 2.3 (Gecko/20110731)

No sound, though... :(

And I see some clipping artifacts on doors! Fix it! ;)

Hi Dave
AMD4400x2

My 1st attempt at this game I clicked on the Sound option which gave me
an instant Trap in uniaud16.

Further attempts to play caused the system to freeze when I tried to
select any of the options.

The final attempt I managed to have a look through the 1st few pages of
the readme and start a game. The system froze less than a minute after
the game started.

As this game seems to have sound - there is a Sound option - and I have
not heard a squeak to date along with the Trap in uniaud16 I suspect the
uniaud drivers in use may be part of the problem. However, they are the
best available for the system for most purposes so I do not intend to
change to latest uniaud release.


Regards

Pete

OK, nothing to new. Eventually they're likely to implement AVX and XOP
which our kernel will probably never support and need to be disabled.

I've had trouble with uniaud and this motherboard, mostly failure to
initialize the codec when loading uniaud16 during boot, both on Warp 4
and eCS. I finally moved the driver up in config.sys so it loads right
after the JFS chkdsk and the system seems more stable then ever.

Germany bans all Nazi-related stuff, right?

For AVX: as with MMX and XMM, the kernel would need to detect AVX support
and save/restore these new/extended YMM registers on a context switch with
the specialised instructions XSAVE / XRSTOR that are to be used for that
purpose. So yes, AVX will never be supported as it means changes to the
kernel.
By the way: I think AMD does not support AVX, does it ?


What is XOP ? Is this the AMD equivalent ?

Looks like it. Funny enough I remember having played that game in the past

Yes, it seems to be. I saw it being implemented on a different project
and it seems to the equivalent.

AVX is supported on AMDs Bulldozer and the today released Trinity CPU.
