 Re: LUMYDCTT: "There's no accounting for taste."

gerliczer: you are a very wise man and gave me a cool idea. Why I didn't think about that? I used to use VirtualBox in the past and installed some kind of windows, so I grabbed for them (.VDIs) again and tried out your notion:

Lumydctt - VirtualBox: 6in1

Yes, I am running 6 different (exactly +1 as host (Win8.1), so 7) operating systems at the same time: Windows 3.1 (4fun), Windows 95 OSR2, Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista Ultimate (this last one has just been installed yesterday) on Oracle VirtualBox 6.0.14

After a little rummage:
Windows 3.1: no way, there is no .NET
Windows 95 OSR2: the same as before no dotNET
Windows 98 SE: installing Windows Installer, Internet Explorer 5.5 and .NET2 in vain, because LUMYDCTT needs .NET4.0 at least.
Windows ME: the same as before, the highest version of .NET is 2.0 on this system, too.
Windows XP SP2: after installing ServicePack3 and .NET4.0, I managed to run LUMYDCTT at 800x600, 1152x864, 1280x1024... without any errors
Windows Vista Ultimate: installing only .NET4.0 and getting success

Lumydctt - VirtualBox: XP SP3 and Vista and .NET4

Sorry, sorry, sorry. It works on the Dell, too.

Additionally:

A virtual machine running on my PC above. Works.


On a different note:

SVS should do the same as he did with YAPE. When the application crashes, he should make a memory dump of the process and send it to Charlemagne. If they didn't do it so far.

 Re: LUMYDCTT: "There's no accounting for taste."

gerliczer: Thank you very much. You approach this topic very professional... happy For your first comment: I have a closer look at your MB and I realized that you can make this computer more powerful with an M.2. SSD even. I cannot do this. For your second one: you have just forgotten to write "LUMYDCTT works or not"... happy

MMS: it seems almost each Commodore Plus/4 fan is using a computer with some sort of nVidia card... happy ...but I read somewhere on the net that some of the latest ones make a tetris-bug. I don't know they have already fixed this problem with certain chipsets (macron?) or not yet.

@MMS: No, sometimes I do some retro programming too, like Sweet DFLI C16 or Screenoff. wink Actually, that's a dual boot machine with one more drive and a different Windows for software development.

 Re: LUMYDCTT: "There's no accounting for taste."

Chronos: Thank you very much indeed.

gerliczer: There is no any testing procedure, only running it. (Verona run into a problem on his XP, Ati couldn't run it at all, and I don't understand it, because he didn't send me a screenshot about his problem. In the end, SVS met an impossible situation (see above). He turned off his firewall, antivirus software, updated his .NET in vain. The evil is playing with his computer... happy )

 Re: LUMYDCTT: "There's no accounting for taste."

Is there some testing procedure to follow? Or is it enough if it starts up? Maybe I'll give it a spin, too.

 Re: LUMYDCTT: "There's no accounting for taste."

Hi MMS,

Maybe, you are right again..., but for example my desktop computer (at home, 6 years-old) on which I have been developing LUMYDCTT most of the time is the following:

CPU: AMD FX-8350 4GHz
Motherboard: Asus M5A99X
RAM: Kingston 16GB (DDR3, 2133)
Video card: Gigabyte nVidia Geforce GTX 760 OC 4GB
Monitor: LG 29UM67 LED 21:9 UltraWide IPS -> 2560x1080
Sound card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD
Sound system: Logitech Z906 THX
SSD: Samsung 1TB
HDD: Western Digital 4TB + 2TB
OS: Windows 8.1 Professional + Debian 10 (Buster)
...bla-bla...

Well, this is really not the very latest configuration of computer systems, but not so bad, and you can see I use a dedicated video card, not integrated... ...and LUMYDCTT is running flawlessly... happy

 Re: LUMYDCTT: "There's no accounting for taste."

Well, you did not benchmark the Plus/4 3D performance on different 3D cards, just the IGPs happy

(and it works well on my also old PC too:

 LUMYDCTT: "There's no accounting for taste."

I have tested LUMYDCTT on a large amount of computer configurations and get success, here is some examples:

Lumydctt_Debian10Linux_x64_EN_Wine_AcerTravelMate5730_IntelCore2Duo_P8400_2_26GHz_8GB_1280x800_256GBSSD

It seems that I managed to run LUMYDCTT on any computer and everywhere (school, local government, library, culture house, old-or-new computers, etc.)...

BUT, there are a pair of people who reported that they couldn't run LUMYDCTT, for example SVS:



...and after searching the above problem on the net, we couldn't find any good solution for SVS.

The other person who reported me a problem was Ati. He didn't say anything important, but LUMYDCTT didn't run on his Acer TravelMate 6460 (Win7).

So, when you encounter a (or more) problem with LUMYDCTT, please be nice to send me a screenshot, because I won't guess out what is the problem and I need some tip. I am not a mind-reader... happy

Thank you.
