Good. It was literally quicker to open YouTube and search for "<game title> trailer" on the older player. And don't get me started on the mobile experience...

There will be cheats after the second public test.

Many thanks to @controlfreak for closing down RFFF25 with what chat seemed to reckon was a bit of a barn burner. Outstanding chat banter, comraderie and support everyone!

Tea was spilt and the offending mug remained on stream along with the chief engineer [roll of gaffers tape], we learnt about cymbal restraint, and had a bit of a synthpop sing song to boot.

Lately I've been working on trying to add some speed / performance hacks to #DOSBox. The idea is a bit similar to the old DOSIDLE.EXE / POWER.EXE TSRs: detect when the system is idle or busy-looping, and give up the rest of the CPU cycles until something interesting happens (next frame, next BIOS tick, whatever).

There are a bunch of timing sources on the IBM PC and it's tricky to get them all, but as a proof of concept - here's the delay loop from GORILLA.BAS:

'Rest:
' pauses the program
SUB Rest (t#)
s# = TIMER
t2# = MachSpeed * t# / SPEEDCONST
DO
LOOP UNTIL TIMER - s# > t2#
END SUB

So, it busy-loops until the timer tick. In DOSBox I modified the BIOS INT 1A handler so that if the emulated machine requests the time twice and the same tick comes up, it's probably spinning, so I take away all the remaining cycle budget and sleep instead. And it actually works! Host CPU usage drops significantly - or, if you put it in Turbo Mode, the game plays WAY faster!

in reply to Palm Oil Detectives

thanks for letting us know. Palm oil is unhealthy - so we'd be roasting on the inside if we eat it as the planet heats up to cook us better. I prefer to live my life raw, so I don't want to be cooked. I'm actively working on quelching palm oil consumption, but it's an uphill battle - they put it in so many products!

Why did you focus exclusively on Steam? With, "FOSS," in your publication's name, I would have expected and wanted you to point people towards DRM-free games on GOG and Itch as much as possible.

๐Ÿง  This idea clashes with ecological limits, and breaking with this cultural narrative is essential for building community-based alternatives that are fairer and more caring towards the planet.
