There's some stuff that just didn't port properly to 64-bit, at least not under Windows. Got to keep some 32-bit hardware going to play certain games, run certain OSes and apps, etc. personally I could have done without 64-bit, altogether -- but then, look where we are Cohen I'm not quite yet done with the late 1970s, let alone any later eras. I might be okay with dropping 32-bit support, sometime around 2050, but not yet. (Maybe in 2038 when the Linux time counter overflows...

This had been annoying me for a long time.<br> <br> 2) The Alt+J hotkey, which used to switch between joysticks (a hack<br> introduced to work around the limitations of joystick assignment), now<br> opens the joystick configuration directly.<br> <br> I spent whole sunny day working on automatic builds of binary packages.<br> Almost there:<br> <br> <a href="https://github.com/atari800/atari800/releases/tag/ATARI800_6_1_0" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/atari800/atari800/releases/tag/ATARI800_6_1_0</a><br> <br> Binaries for MS-Windows have some extra Windows specific fixes so are<br> more like v6.2.0. I know about the missing app icon, don't report it,<br> please.<br> <br> The binary for MacOS is completely untested. Sorry, we have only Linux<br> machines at home. Somebody please help me improve the GitHub workflow<br> that builds the dmg or at least test the current package and let me<br> know what's missing.<br> <br> The Linux AppImage I tried to make compatible with older systems and<br> wasted a lot of time on this. In the end it's missing PNG compression<br> so I'll be fixing that for next release.<br> <br> In general you wouldn't believe how hard it is to support 32-bit<br> operating systems in 2026. Does anybody actually still runs a 32-bit<br> MS-Windows or Linux or MacOS today?<br> <br> Petr<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> ------------------------------<br> <br> <br> <br> ------------------------------<br> <br> Subject: Digest Footer<br> <br> _______________________________________________<br> Atari800-users mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Ata...@li..." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Ata...@li...</a><br> <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/atari800-users" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/atari800-users</a><br> <br> <br> ------------------------------<br> <br> End of Atari800-users Digest, Vol 138, Issue 8<br> **********************************************<br> </blockquote></div> <span></span><br><span></span><br><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Atari800-users mailing list</span><br><span>Ata...@li...</span><br><span>https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/atari800-users</span><br></div></blockquote></div></body></html> |
