Where can I get the latest version? I googled it, but all I found was version 48.0 on Aminet - uploaded by a Benjamin_Niemann on 1999-10-14.

EDIT:
The version of the ixemul.library installed on my system is 63.1.


I think this might be it.

Matt. Have you contacted elbox about it. From my experience one can talk to them. Maybe i could mediate being polish after all:-). But its you who would have to explain the problem. Do you have a solution in mind?
Because i suspect there is too few v4 users for them to care. Or they want to sell out own v3 stock.

Elbox's voodoo.card P96 driver should work for both the Voodoo 3 and Voodoo 4-5. The Voodoo 4-5 VSA-100/Napalm chipset is mostly backward compatible with the Voodoo 3 Avenger chipset but the initialization and setup is different. I believe Elbox only sells Radeon gfx cards. There is little reason for them to sabotage the Voodoo 4-5 compatibility. I believe I did report the distorted color problem a long time ago and never received a reply. They did respond to a problem I had with a dead on arrival ethernet card from them and they removed the charge from my bill. I have had mixed results dealing with them. They do seem to be bad at losing e-mails, maybe sometimes to their aggressive spam filter. I have not reported the most recent problems with their voodoo.card or pci.library but they may know about it. I think Cosmos has been communicating with them. He may be the one who asked for the change in the initialization setup so that the thousands of BYTEREV/Swizzle inlines are unnecessary in the W3D Avenger drivers. I let Cosmos know about the Voodoo 4 problems as well as posting about the problems on different Amiga forums. I get the impression that Elbox wants to provide the minimum of support and maximize their profits. I don't like their proprietary/closed software and standards attitude either. I think they would sell more products if they supported OpenPCI, AROS, generic USB cards (instead of charging for a generic USB card with a modified ROM), etc. and had a good reputation in the Amiga community that users wanted to support. I know you would like to see some of the same. Their hardware products are good. Good luck changing their attitude though, even if you are also Polish.

I've made new version that uses 8bit RTG screen mode.
Tests on WinUAE noJIT shows that scrolling is much faster!
Depth can be changed in Options now.

i dont think afa os has anything to do with it, except it is the same person that did "aros on amiga" and the sdl.library port. why would that be? bernds sdl needs his ixemul library instead, thats right, even though as far as i see the effort by artur and novacoder is to replace this dependance by another statically linked library that proviudes both rtg and native amiga chipset support at the same time for sdl applications.

im not quite sure how far this is by now.
