Video: FreeMiNT on ARAnyM

[Vincent Rivière]

Hi,

I wanted to show people how great is FreeMiNT when run on top of ARAnyM. So
I made a video about that. English subtitles are available.

Wow, incredible. I wasn't even aware how easy installation has become ;) Next time someone complains about it, i will just point him/her to this video.

 

Also all the other hints about some basic configurations regarding keyboard layout etc. are surely really helpful.

 

Many thanks for that great piece of work.

Many thanks for this video, from which I learned a lot :-)

My question is : when freeMiNT stable version will be released ? AFROS
is based on 1.17.0, ARAnyM miniPack is on 1.18.0, you are presenting
beta 1.19.x ... There's a need for an official version that would make
everybody agree about which one is the good operating system's version.

Best regards,

Thought you opened a new issue about the mouse being "trapped" by an invisible border, but could not find, so i'm answering it here.

 

I've not yet found the real cause, but it seems to be related to communication between fVDI and aranym.

 

- if you don't move the mouse while starting aranym, then the initial mouse will be displayed at 64x64. That is some arbitrary default, which is set by the fVDI kernel, before any workstation is opened, and not corrected by the aranym driver (should actually not be needed, but apparently something is going wrong there).

 

- The issue does not occur when you set GrabMouse = No in the aranym config file

 

- the issue also seems to disappear, when you change the driver line in fvdi.sys to

 

01r aranym.sys mode 1024x768x32@60 irq accelerate xxxxxxx

 

The important thing here is the irq keyword, which will cause fVDI to install a vbl handler to update the mouse position.

 

I'm going to change the latter in the default configuration in the snapshots.
