Oolite Bulletins

Just finished Ark (the second in the Flood series) Baxter is back to form with some good hard science (with references in the appendix!). Read Flood first as some of the back references won't make a great deal of sense otherwise.

Well I finally got the time last night to setup ConrollerMate with the Dual Action. At first I setup a virtual mouse and calibrated the joysticks. However when launched there appears to be no dampers on the roll and pitch if you use the mouse (IIRC there used to be a key for this in the original Eli...

I'm just getting a logitech dual action gamepad (PS2 style) controller working in conjunction with controllermate. I'll let you know how I'm getting on.

IIRC Arm processors are the most popular processors in the world. They go in everything from Washing machines, Camcorders and most modile phones.

Ha Ha Ha, makes me laugh. I've watched both MS and Apple kill off the British computer industry by the simple expedient of copying every thing they did.

Last laugh belongs to Arm tho'.

There more chance of the Risc PC version getting ported. The iPhone has an ARM processor.

There's a huge differnce between a risc processor and a cisc one. You can't compare the clock rates, and besides the strongArm equiped RPC's clock at 100MHz+. Percieved speed is easily faster than the current crop of windows 7 machines, partly because the programs are smaller and partly because of t...

I have a variety of kit at home. Mostly I'm playing on a tosh laptop, however I also have a Mac Power book G4 and a RISC PC 710.

1, Can the saved postion from the PC's be dropped into the mac directory?
2. Is there any way of getting a native ARM version together (if only for nostalgic reasons)?

I've managed to manually install the actual driver (using the manual install instructions provided by intel). However it is still only reporting 1.5 OGL. Any ideas, or is this as far as I can go?

Here a good site for thos that need debugging stress relief:

I got hooked playing elite with just the wire frames, but then it was leading edge graphics (along with Aviator)! It's the game play that is so intoxicating. I do like ne better textures however.

My laptop (Toshiba) has the Intel 965 Express chipset. I've tried downloading the latest driver for it, but it refuses as the current driver is (presumabely a Toshiba) propriety onr. The analyser reports I've got OpenGL 1.5. How do I add the GLSL extention to it, or upgrade to 2.0?
