05.14.55 # <DNA> bye
09.54.26 # <Dave_C> none of those sends worked!
09.54.26 # <Dave_C> <sniff sniff>
09.54.26 # <Dave_C> had to answer the phone
09.54.26 # <Dave_C> (cndouble call)
09.56.57 # <Dave_C> find siosbx
10.07.07 # <StG^sNTx> ello Dave_C
10.08.09 # <StG^sNTx> Is anything exciting happening here related to the MAE?
10.11.06 # <StG^sNTx> bbl
11.00.08 # <alfie> ola...darx not so rude :)...bbl
13.05.40 # <ExiE> Merko!
13.05.43 # <ExiE> Dave!
13.06.27 # <Merko> ExiE :)
13.49.54 # <hesido> hulo
13.50.13 # <Gemini> Evening Merko , Jamesc and hesido
13.50.31 # <Merko> Gemini
13.50.45 # <hesido> 'lo gemini
13.51.39 # <Gemini> Merko: ur using ur ppc card 4 mp3s???
13.52.23 # <hesido> <--- tryna find some pearl jam mp3...
13.52.53 # <Merko> Gemini: Not ATM, because mpega.library as well as amigaamp crashes when multitasking with other ppc apps.. every few hours or so.. :/
13.53.02 # <Merko> Gemini: But usually I do.
13.53.05 # <hesido> ppc is good at reatlrime mp3 decoding, as you might well know :)
13.54.20 # <Gemini> Merko: do ur player use AHI?
13.54.25 # <Gemini> hey koksa
13.54.36 # <alfie> ola Gem
13.54.40 # <hesido> hey alfie :)
13.54.44 # <Gemini> ahh.. its u alfie :-)
13.54.48 # <Merko> Gemini: Yes, but that's not the problem.
13.55.02 # <Gemini> Merko: 4 me ahi seems 2 b the problem....
13.55.07 # <hesido> merko, what is the problem, i might help indeed
13.55.11 # <Merko> hesido: It sure is.. playing on the 060 sucks. Gotta fix this problem.
13.55.27 # <Gemini> i have tryed 2 different ppc mp3 players..... and both have the same problem with ahi
13.55.54 # <hesido> merko: lemme guess : ppc decodind don't work for you and you have to stick with 68k routines?
13.55.55 # <Merko> hesido: Well, when I run mpega.library PPC version, or amigaamp.elf, the computer crashes instantly if I start ADoom or QuakePPC. Not with the 68k version of mpega.library.
13.56.13 # <hesido> ok, I got ya
13.56.16 # <Gemini> the thing is that its playing so darn low..... gota turn the sound almost up 2 max in order 2 get the same sound i would get with mpega
13.56.41 # <Merko> If I run only mpega.library and rc5, it crashes maybe after half an hour.. or two hours.. but sooner or later it crashes.
13.56.58 # <hesido> merko: do those problematic exe's also use ahi??
13.57.01 # <Merko> mpega.libraryPPC that is, mpega.library060 is completely stable.
13.57.16 # <Merko> hesido: Yes, but so does mpega.library060 in exactly the same way.
13.57.43 # <hesido> merko: could that be a 'heating problem with ram's??
13.57.49 # <Merko> And dozens of other programs... which all work fine. AHI is not a problem here at least, it always worked perfectly.. except for old versions of the prefs prog which crashed.
13.57.50 # <hesido> in the ppc mode?
13.58.28 # <ExiE> Hi!
13.58.33 # <Gemini> hey ExiE
13.58.36 # <Merko> hesido: I thought of that too... but it isn't. I've tried running ADoom+RC5 for days, it works fine. Quake works fine too, although it has crashed for other reasons too.. I guess it still had bugs then. ;D
13.59.04 # <hesido> merko: you got snoopdos?
13.59.06 # <Merko> Also I have a very nice fan on the 060.. and the PPC is already quite cool.
13.59.14 # <Merko> hesido: Yes, there's no such problem.
13.59.26 # <Gemini> i have never tryed running both a mp3 player that uses ppc, and another ppc utilety...
13.59.31 # <hesido> well, gimme a sec..
13.59.43 # <hesido> use snoopdos in the single step mode.
14.00.03 # <hesido> you might also well track for rom calls, etc.
14.00.08 # <Merko> hesido: Why? It finds all files.. there's no such problem. It works fine for hours..
14.00.12 # <ExiE> exclusive screenshots form Quake like game called ENFORCE :)
14.00.19 # <hesido> (but don't over track, as in single step it takes loong time)
14.00.31 # <Gemini> Merko: but do u know the solution 2 my low volume problem?
14.00.47 # <Merko> hesido: It doesn't help me.. like I said, it can run fine for hours, then crash for no reason at all. Or hang rather.
14.00.56 # <Gemini> the volume is just fine with other things that uses ahi like quake and genetic
14.00.56 # <Merko> Gemini: In AHI?
14.01.02 # <hesido> merko: the point i am gonna make is, i once found an enforcer hitting library using single step..
14.01.25 # <Merko> hesido: Ah.. I see.. but enforcer is not much use for a ppc replayer, is it? ;D
14.01.42 # <Merko> hesido: I think it's some strange cache problem or something.. because it works well for hours..
14.01.44 # <hesido> merko: i was talking bout immidiate crashes after executing adoom (or were they not immediate crashes??)
14.02.00 # <Merko> hesido: Yes, when running ADoom AND mpega.libraryPPC.
14.02.07 # <Gemini> Merko: yeah.... dont know if its ahi thats the problem... but it happens with both the mp3 players i have used that uses ahi
14.02.24 # <Merko> Gemini: Hmm.. what if you use volume boost?
14.02.39 # <Gemini> Merko: hang on
14.03.06 # <Gemini> i cant change the boost... its ghosted
14.03.22 # <hesido> merko: again a single step adventure of mine :) I found that genetic sp demo was freezing as it loaded file save ahi audio mode for no reason! then I had to delete filesave mode, which is a shame :/ now it loads the correct mode :)
14.03.30 # <Gemini> wich means +0 DB
14.04.12 # <Merko> Gemini: Right.. but what about setting it in Songplayer?
14.04.26 # <hesido> song player also crashes here a lot, a lot. and a lot.
14.04.28 # <Gemini> theres no boost settings there
14.04.36 # <hesido> 1.3 , we're talking bout?
14.04.45 # <Merko> Gemini: It's only available in some modes anyway.. but in Songplayer you have to set it internally. Yes it is, you'll have to activate it first though in prefs..
14.05.02 # <Gemini> im using amigaAMP
14.05.35 # <Merko> hesido: Well, I don't care if I can't play mp3 and play ADoom, but maybe it's the same problem as mpega.libraryPPC+RC5PPC, I don't know.
14.05.52 # <hesido> merko: i suspect that too..
14.06.08 # <Merko> Gemini: I don't remember how to do it there.. probably from AHIPrefs by selecting a mode that handles it..
14.06.16 # <hesido> for songplayers :
14.07.00 # <Gemini> i have tryed all the paula modes... and its ghosted on all of them
14.07.28 # <Merko> Gemini: Hmm, I tried to.. indeed they are. Well, it is possible in Songplayer. But I don't see why it should be needed in the first place.. strange.
14.07.30 # <hesido> I created karaokes for cranberries linger, will smith getting jiggy, sting mad about you, jamiraquai virtl. insanity, chilly peppers my friends..
14.07.36 # <Merko> Gemini: Do you have a recent AHI version?
14.08.18 # <Gemini> Merko: yes.. i DLed it a week ago frome the autors HP
14.08.28 # <hesido> and songplayers can enjoy karaoke, yep..
14.09.04 # <Merko> hesido: Yeah.. I hope the "todo"s get done on that area though. :))
14.09.21 # <Merko> Gemini: Very strange. Is it quiet in all modes?
14.09.22 # <Gemini> songplayer... its another mp3 player.. and it supports PPC?
14.09.38 # <Merko> Gemini: Yes, it uses the ppc version of mpega.library
14.10.00 # <Gemini> Merko: its not quiet.. but i have 2 turn the volume of my speakers almost up 2 max just 2 get an ordenery volume..
14.10.03 # <hesido> merko: it could indeed be enhanced, but they shouldn't make it complex..
