x64 vs x64sc, drive emulation
I'm taking a break from shitposting about assembler syntax to do some actual development, and I just noticed that the fastloader I'm working on works under x64sc but fails under x64 (vice-2.4). Should I care? Just wondering if it means my timing's too tight to be reliable on a range of real drives..
(yes yes, I'll dig some actual hardware out tomorrow to see if it works on the real thing, and I'm also having another attempt at building vice from a source tree. I'll do some emu maintenance one of these years..)
edit- and yes, I had true drive emulation enabled in both. |

for a start, you should try it with a nightly build and delete 2.4 =) |

Actually my experience was, that the emulator is less picky than a real drive and some VIA stuff is not emulated right. So you will happen to have things working on emulator, but not on a real drive. Pain ahead, have fun :-) |

thats correct of course - however 2.4 is even a lot more bugged than the nightlies are :) |

Is it a lot of work to promote one of those nightly builds to a 2.5 release? People tend to stick to the latest "stable" release available. |

"people" are silly. 2.5 will come when all remaining issues are fixed, perhaps the windows port removed, and osx killed and buried under a rock. and after that we'll have rolling releases, so no more "major" versions anyway. |

Windows port removed? That's going to ruffle some feathers :) |

Might as well drop support for Athena and Xaw3d, can't imagine people still using that. And Gtk2 is unmaintained as well, even the MATE desktop is moving to Gtk3 because of that. |

both the xaw and the gtk ui are maintained - its not about what your favourite distro uses at all. (and yes, strange enough, there are ppl who prefer the XAW ui) |
