Hi Martin,

Oeps you're correct i used the wrong one to link with it.

This dll is compiled with QT5, so please use this one if you dont have Qt6....

With kind regards, Tellie

Hello Bernald,

Renaming dll is not a very good idea.
I did a quick QT5 port, had to disable OpenCV as i dont have it, this also means i had also disable Tiff and Raw.

I only started it and load a jpg, this worked.

With kind regards, TeLLie

Hello Bernard,

I must have it some where on some older HD.
I will look when i have time to see if i still got it.
Otherwise i will try to port it to QT5 with latest dll's.

Kind regards, Tellie

Anyone else testing ClassiCube?

Hi Jochem,

I just started it and ask for some updates,  i could fill in name and pass, only couldnot register.
When starting the game i had no mouse in the game.
Looks good ...
I run it in a VM with Arcanoae 5.0.1

Kinds regards, Tellie

Hi Tellie, how did you get cmake to find L:\qt6-2.x\lib\cmake\Qt6 for the IMPORTED_IMPLIB's for the various QT6 DLL's?

Hi Dave,
I use a .sh file for building cmake progs.
When using qt6 i have to reboot and use a qt6 config.sys with a qt6 bindir and libdir and includedir set
This worked for me the best.
I might sounds a bit cumbersome, but like i say works for me

BTW: I also convert the qt6 .a to .lib
Kind regards, Tellie

Hi all,

I compiled 4.05 with qt6 and  print support.
I have no printer so i could not test it, i print to a pdf and that worked.

Maybe some braveheart could test it.

Kind regards, Tellie

When I use dooble it takes minutes to scroll, I only have this with 2 laptops. I don't have this problem on my desktop comp. Even if I have to fill something out, it takes minutes.

Hi Rich,

First all the best for 2024 ....

I have (or had) this problem. Answer these questions to see if we have the same issue:

1) Are these machines able to emit a beep? Not a sound through the soundcard but a tone through the speaker or transducer on the mobo. If yes, it's a different problem.
    Yes i hear a beep sometimes. Alto is a sound that i get when f.e running a app that i have compiled but it's gives a trap
2) After scrolling and finding that nothing happens, does moving the mouse around _a lot_ over the window cause the accumulated scroll actions to happen all at once?
   Yes
3) Assuming you're running AOS, run 'ACPISTAT | MORE'. At the top is a list or IRQs and the number of times they've been triggered. Is the count for IRQ 0 very low (in hundreds or less) or is IRQ 0 simply missing (either of these may be true)?

The version of ACPI.PSD that is installed is 3.23.17
The system is operating in Symmetric mode (Mode 2)
The kernel is 14.204_SMP
The retail PSD is installed

Number of interrupts available: 60
IRQ 00 count 14
IRQ 01 count 1049
IRQ 08 count 1137885
IRQ 09 count 11
IRQ 16 count 513
IRQ 17 count 27
MSI 55 count 8201
MSI 56 count 77012
MSI 57 count 18757

If the answer to (1) is no but (2) and (3) are yes, then we have the same problem: the clock which feeds the 8254 timer circuit has been gated off.

The 8254 has 3 timers: one is used to make sound while another is used by many apps such as Dooble as a "high-resolution timer". To use it, the app sets a counter to the number of milliseconds required. Each clock pulse then causes it to decrement that counter. When that counter reaches 0, it issues an IRQ 0.

If the clock signal has been turned off, the counter never decrements, the IRQ is never triggered, and Dooble fails to scroll. There is one oddity here: for unknown reasons, significant USB activity (or at least, USB mouse activity) will trigger an IRQ 0. That's why moving the mouse may cause scrolling - it mimics the timer going off.

I spent a huge amount of time identifying the nature of the problem but never came up with a solution, only a work-around. The high-res timer can only be used by one app at a time. If it's busy, the app has to fall back to one of the system's conventional timers. So, I wrote a little util that claims the HRT for as long as possible to force Dooble and other stuff to use an alternate timer. This works fine for scrolling but multimedia performance is terrible - VLC is unusable.

AFAICT, only a firmware update would fix the problem - and that's unlikely because MS stopped using the 8254 in Win 7 or 8. Consequently there's no way to demonstrate to some Tech Support droid running Win 11 that there even is a problem.

Is it from harm to try you're prog or?
