E/D 1.99k bugs (?)
Hi,
I tested E/D 1.99k a bit more, using 1.99f and 1.99j and a Quadra as references.
Concerning stability it seems as though we are getting there, but I
definitely see differences (besides the already mentioned Speedometer 3.11
test screens that do not show colour in 1.99j and 1.99k) between
colour availability on E/D and a Quadra.
For instance Tangram and Floortiles (both games) have screens that show
black blocks and or wrong colours in the latest two versions.
(All is fine with 1.99f)
If Ardi has Speedometer around, check the very first title screen; the icon
showed has colour on a Mac which is missing in all versions of E/D.
Also it seems that the latest two versions are *very* dependent on EMM
availability and settings concerning performance. I timed the following:
1.99f 1.99j 1.99k
---------------------------
loading E/D 7 10 41 sec.
loading HyperCard 2.1 15 28 67 sec.
figures for E/D 1.99k improved when removing EMM386 but were still much
higher than 1.99f
Anybody else having the same experience?
Will test more later ...
