Upgrade for Rockdoom?

<< < (2/4) > >>

funman:
Of course we would enable it again when you will have fixed it.

SpawnHyuuga:
Why not just revert it? Althought the change log suggests that nothing has changed since 2006... -.-'

Now if I could get SVN to work, and I wish it was portable so I could edit code anywhere...

Or if nothing else, leave it - and just make it "unsupported."

MItaly:
I don't have enough RockBox knowledge to support my guess, but I think that probably something in the rockbox core changed, so RockDoom now has a bit less available RAM than it used to have.

torne:
The problem is not a change to Doom; there's nothing to roll back.

The problem is (we think) that the Doom code is broken in one or more unknown ways, and probably *always has been*, and that the change to the EABI compiler affected the way the Doom code is compiled, which seems to have made various issues more obvious. It also would've affected the size and layout of the Doom code, which might mean that less RAM is available to it than previously. Other changes to the Rockbox code also affect the amount of RAM available, since if more RAM is used for the core then less is available for plugins.

The fact that it worked fine for you until a week ago means nothing; it's been broken for other people on the exact same devices for far, far longer. Your settings are probably just different so you have more RAM available, or it might even just be a fluke :)

SpawnHyuuga:
Well that sucks, so the options left remaining are:

* New Rockbox-supported MP3 with greater RAM
* An upgrade for RAM (Looking into it now)
* Finding a way to allocate more memory or reduce the memory for the core
