[hatari-devel] WinAUE wide chars usage and what to do with it?

[Laurent Sallafranque]

I've tested Nicola's patch.

It doesn't change anything to Eko_system (this demo suffers from a 
strange problem).

Worse, Rot3DBmp.prg doesn't work anymore.

This program is a very good candidate, because the developpers transfer 
datas from 68030 to DSP in "real time", without testing before if the 
precedent data was taken into account by the DSP. (No synchronisation 
before sending the datas).

I'll continue to dig into all of this.

I'm pretty sure that Nicola's patch is the good one, but there's still 
some work to do before let it run.

Nicolas, is it still possible to use the following code in the newcpu ?

     if (bDspEnabled)
         Cycles_SetCounter(CYCLES_COUNTER_CPU, 0);    /* to measure the 
total number of cycles spent in the cpu */

I've given it a try, by applying my patch where I call DSP more often, 
but the result was worse.

Regards

Laurent
