Ok, thanks ALB42 and Chain-Q for the inputs.

The Round() issue is now fixed in the next Vampire core.

MUIMapparium runs well now, both CPU and FPU versions are OK.

I am sorry for you, but somebody has then been making profit out of your free work for over a year: as we all know, Vampires arent sold at cost.

I hope you get some compensation for your work.


Everyone reading this post know you are smarter than this, so not sure what you are trying to do with that angle.

I paid for my Vampire, which was functional as is. After that point, the core has been updated x times, with new features/fixes, and thats technically work they didnt have to do, since they already got my money.
But as we all know, its called retention of customers thru good customer service.

When I buy any hardware, I know what I get, and Im not asked to pay anything else down the road. But Im more inclined to purchase from the same manufacturer IF they deliver good service and product.

Wether or not those expectations are met, depends to a certain extent on each and one of us.

But again, you are more than capable to grasp this consept, so..

One of the first topics I saw on forums when I returned to the Amiga community was "its emulation!" "No its not".

Rinse repeat for pages and threads.

Its quite mindboggeling that people in their 30s-40s++ can keep THIS up for decades.

I dont do this often, but to quote Trump "Its SAD! Believe me!".

@Neuf

You dont have to use Coffin OS with your Vampire.

Some of us stick with the original AOS3.1, selfmodified with addons, like everyone has done since the 90s.
Some use other versions, lncluding purchased Vesalia 3.9's.

And some use AROS.

Basically you would run the Vampire like you did/do with your current legacy hardware, just faster.
