any particular kind of file?

touch bar
will create an empty file called bar or update its timestamp if it already exists.

echo foo > bar
will create a file called bar that contains foo.

Then I suggest it is the dc fopen that is broken. fopen should always be able to open files. If not either their is a problem with the disc or fopen is broken.

The originals problem is nothing to do with the HLE. If anything it may be the GDROM struggling to read the discs as a backup seems to work ok. As far as the software is concerned there is no difference.

What did you change for aero fighters sound?

Of course I dont actually have wither game to play with myself, but Id be interested to know.

The reason that you usually dont see loading screens on NeoCD is that there is a large amount of HLE going on around the CDROM accessing. Instead of properly emulating the neogeo cdrom the emulator hooks into bios calls to read files and play audio and handles them itself. The result is that you get...

What you mean is 32-bit. If you have 8 bytes in a row eg. ABCDEFGH you can read each byte safely using an 8 bit read. or you can read the 32bit value ABCD or the 32 bit value EFGH. but you cant read CDEF in one 32bit read. Of course you want to read as much as you can in one go for speed. If you kno...

I wont tell. Period

No thats the bit of code that replaces the musashi interface with the C68K one.
There is a header file for C68K but no code.

Though on closer inspection neither the 9.3 or 9.2 source distributions included it either.

Does the source for C68k not exist because I cant find it in the Source D/L only the object files? I was interested in having a look.

your compiler should work out constants for you so it shouldnt be necessary to do what you are doing.

I think ive got some time to help. (Im on PAL)

At least now Ive got my Pacifi3d release done.

Itd be interesting to see what youve done with my adopted baby.

PM me.

at a guess you need to link it with libpng which at a second guess may be "-lpng" added to your compile line.

I have to confess i really like tcl. you want to use either: set varname [gets stdin] or gets stdin varname both should work. when you enclose something in square brakets in tcl it is evaluated as a separate command. In your case the "gets stdin varname" would be evaluated first. This plac...

agreed and /dev/hdd or /dev/cdrom is not in the mount table printed by mount. try typing: mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom this should mount the disk and make its files visible under /cdrom then running neocd again to see what happens if it still doesnt work then give me the output of the above command as we...

doubtful that the location of the mount is the problem. NeoCD shouldnt care where your cdrom is mounted just that it is. It is supposed to detect it. For example I can stick a disk in either of my cd drives and start neocd and it finds it automatically. Please could you tell me the results of the fo...

one other thought, I take it /dev/cdrom is a symlink to /dev/hd(something). When you mounted the disk did you mount /dev/cdrom or /dev/hd(something).

With the disk mounted, type mount to get the current mount table. Show me whats in it.

hmm odd. is /dev/cdrom your device? where is it mounted? what distro are you using? my cdrom is /dev/cdrom and mounts under /mnt/cdrom neocd/sdl should detect all cdrom devices using SDL and then work out their mount points in the mount table. It is looking for a mounted cdrom with the file ipl.txt ...

Neogeo/SDL works in linux,
You need the neocd bios and some neocd cds.
Otherwise it should work with no dependancies as Im pretty sure I compiled it statically.

actuallly for the first couple of releases Ian initially claimed it was completely gpl, which i corrected (he may have even had the gpl listed in there somewhere) I havent looked in a while but im pretty sure that the lgpl.txt was in the dir with the sound, and the neocd readme.txt was in the zipfil...
