New Wazp3D Driver - Beta56

[BSzili]

so does this give 100% warp3d compatibility on all listed OS ?   Does it work on all hardware , take it if a card not supported reverts to software ?

The title of the topic is a bit misleading, since Wazp3D is not really a driver, but an implementation of the Warp3D API. It can use many different backends, like OpenGL on AROS / MorphOS / WinUAE, HW compositing on AmigaOS4, and it has its own software rasterizer too, which should work everywhere.

[BSzili]

It should, but on MOS it only works with 68k software, which limits its usability.

The problem is that WarpOS uses a different ABI than MorphOS (PowerOpen vs SysV). I added the necessary glue based on this rtgmaster replacement library, but it still crashes. I was told that this is trivial stuff, so if you can convince a MorphOS developer to look at it, it can be probably fixed in no time.

[BSzili]

I'll try. I'm hesitant to ask MOS devs for much due to how much I've been (or seen other people be) chastised in the past. They're a great bunch that do awesome stuff, but I feel pretty intimidated about raising the ire of...well, let's say some of them.

I have good news, you don't have to walk into the lion's den. If you already did, then I hope you have survived.
Since the issue has been brought up again, and I had some idle time, I went ahead and fixed the problem myself. Being the bungler I am, I tried to mimic the interface of the MorphOS version of rtgmaster.library, which is compatible with WarpOS programs. This was a bad idea, because it has a mixed interface having both 68k and WOS functions, where Warp3D has two separate libs for this purpose (Warp3d.library and Warp3D_ppc.library). To keep the long story short, I now have Wipeout 2097 running with Wazp3D on MorphOS. I've sent my changes to Alain, the rest is up to him.

So has Alain responded? I'm very excited about this

Not directly to me, but you can find some discussion about this topic:

Unlike Goa, Wazp3D doesn't use Rave3D, so if you get that message, then you definitely still have Warp3D#?.library in MOSSYS:Libs.

Be sure to share your cfg if you find the sweet spot. As for Shogo, I could never get past the menu even in MorphOS 2.x.

edit: Regarding the fullscreen flashing, I've found the problem and I'll try to cook up a solution. For the time being only use the windowed mode.

It looks like we independently came to the same conclusion I've sent you a mail with a possible solution.
