I've changed to using one of the old acorn 'AKF' mode files that gives 1280
x 1024 at 70Hz. I have also now switched on the 'idle' behaviour. And I've
changed to using 256 megs of ram. I suddenly realised I'd only been set to
32 megs by default. So perhaps some of the errors I got were due to lack of
memory so far as the 'machine' perceived. (?)
Pleased to say that the 'idle' works neatly during use. If I type into a TW
window the CPU useage wanders up and down as I type, falling back to just a
few percent when I've not been doing much. The mouse continues to be
responsive, so I don't get the old problem of missing mouse events.
The only snag is one that I think others have reported. When I do a
shutdown the machine seems to 'freeze' with the shutdown button on the
dialogue window presenting the 'depressed' state. However since I always
close all my files before doing a shutdown then - unless someone tells me
otherwise - I'll assume this is in practice a cosmetic problem, not one
that may foul up the emulator or work created using it.
The last few uses haven't given any 'random' errors of the kind I reported
earlier. Fingers crossed. I've continued to use rpcemu to write a document
and fiddle with drawfile, etc. But am also out a copy of the resulting
files every now and then to have 'safe' on my Iyonix so I won't lose if a
serious problem crops up. :-)
Cheers,
Jim
