Was thinking of a animated gif.
Yes, also a possibility. I don't know whether Odyssey (1.x) has problems with a big(gish) AnimGIF, the small ones some users use as avatars are no problem, so we'll see.

Snow should use less CPU as I reduced frame rate.
I think it does, slightly. With Top in a Shell, I get varying from 86% to 92% for Odyssey while the snow is falling. At any rate, it's low enough to leave a bit of CPU for other tasks to butt in if they need to, that's what keeps the system responsive. And of course that it doesn't crash :-).

A600GS & A1200NG / Re: Some keys on Amiga Keyboard are not working (A1200NG, OS3.2.3)

Hi!

I'm new to the A1200NG. And I have a question and hope someone can help me:
I have running AmigaOS 3.2.3 on my 1200NG. My keyoard is a new mechanical keyboard from Amigastore.eu built for real Amiga 1200 with US layout.

Problem: the backslash key is not working or, at least, nothing happens when I press on that key.

If I switch layout of the keyboard, for example, to german then I see characters on screen when pressing the \ | key. But neither with US nor with GB layout. Also the "(" and the ")" keys on the numberpad aren't working.
A problem is that I don't have an Amiga 1200 with OS3.2.3 to test the keyboard on real hardware.

Does anybody has an idea? Any help is welcome... because otherwise I can't use and create blitzbasics custom types  ::)

I have had keyboard issues with 3.1.4, 3.2+.
Best way to test, is go into early startup menu and press the keys that are not working. See if it switches between NTSC and PAL. Its a tester of sorts.
Test with KS 3.1 and then KS 3.2.3.

I was thinking, BTW, if you (or any users) are missing the coloured light bulbs, then an alternative could be to just put them up there as a static image, that would look almost as festive together with the falling snow.

It's still at 100% most of the time, a few small gaps of less CPU usage (seen in CPUInfo Docky). But I don't get the slowdowns as earlier, so it's apparently not stuck in a tight loop or anything, just doing its thing with whatever CPU it can get unobtrusively, it seems.

Yes, much better, thank you!

P.S. BTW, even just the snow does use 100% CPU on this X1000. But as long as it doesn't crash ...

:).

Tweaked again, how is CPU usage now?

We have same issue, every year, so I end up disabling it, :(.

Is this any better?
Yes, much better, thank you!

I did try the new Odyssey 3 Alpha, BTW, and while it did not produce the same crash with MediaPlayer as before, it did crash and lock up after having shown a few pages.

But it looks like there's potential as 3.0 matures, so maybe we can try again next year :-).

Best regards,

Niels

I wish I could agree with your positive words, but it kills my system completely here (Odyssey 1.23 r5 on OS 4.1u3, X1000).

Shortly after entering the page with those coloured lights and snow, I get a DSI from "[OWB] MediaPlayer", everything slows down, and even if i "Ignore" the DSI it stays slow with 100% CPU usage. I can close Odyssey, but it doesn't stop the 100% CPU use, so all I can do is restart the machine.

Wasn't this a problem last year as well?

Hi Anaki Rob,

Congratulations on your new A600GS! 8)

Here is a video explaining how to use MIDI with OctaMED and the A600GS:

Hope this was of help.

Congratulations on the new case for the A1200NG! The Plexilaser case looks very nice! :)
