Title: AFA OS grahicslib and execlib fixes (used by CD Player )
Post by: unusedunused on January 19, 2006, 06:09:58 PM

For AFA is now a more compatible exec.library out and a new graphics_lib.exe

http://amidev.kilu.net/afa_binarie_upload.php3

copy this libs to sys:afa_os_libs

writepixelarrayalpha Fix to be compatible to MOS in globalalpha parameter (It fixes the button display problem with CD Player 2.1)

Thew new exec library is necessary because CD Player use the Feature MEMF_SEM_PROTECTED that allow the use of
same mempool with diffrent tasks on MOS AROS and AFA.without that you risc random crashes

So its best when you use the new exec library

I have remove the security check of ReplyMsg and the lib should now work without problems.Please test
and report if you still cant use the Exec library.

@bernd_afa
 Hi. I want to ask something about your exec.library: Does it replace the original/previously installed exec.library or just some of its functions?
 I'm using Piru's exec44 to make my system as fast as possible and i don't know if it is a good isea to replace it completely.

It replaces all most used functions 67 of the 119 exec funcs.It replace not copymem copymquicker because there are faster solutions out

when you see programs that run really faster with pirus´´ exec then of course you wont use new exec
 
I am not sure if puru´s exec library patch the allocpool createpool funcs

if they do not patch,then you maybe can start pirus exec behind afa.

Can you post the link? The one in the original news item was a 404 error.

I don't think that's possible, since Exec44 is a complete replacement that's normally inserted into a rom image and then softkicked or 'mapromed' (Did I just invert a new word?), so it'd just wipe afa.
 Anyway... nice work as usual Bernd, when are you gonna have a 68k Wanderer to play with  ;-)
