Sul portale Italiano di Heroquesto ho trovato questa notizia non proprio fresca, che parla di una possibile riedizione di Baldur's Gate I&II con significative novità (magari il combattimento a turni   )...

thread aggiornato, disponibile update 1 (Icaros 1.4.1)

The first update to Icaros Desktop 1.4 is now available for download. It includes a faster, enhanced version of Deadwood's OWB port and provides a new feature many people were waiting for: the ability to transfer files over Windows shared folders. Network preferences have been updated with a brand new panel called "File Servers", where AROS users can place settings for Windows shares over the local network. Please notice this is a initial release, so support is still limited to NAS devices, SAMBA configured shares and Windows 9x/2000/XP shared folders. We hope support will be extended to Windows 6.x based operating systems in the future (they include Vista, 7, 2008, 2008 R2 and .

Suggerimenti per il corretto funzionamento by NSA:
"icaros desktop da penna usb non si avvia in presenza di una seconda unita USB Mass-Storage.
in pratica io ho un HD esterno da 640GB.
se è accesa, icaros si blocca quando durante l'avvio fa il check delle periferiche.
Se è spenta, tutto ok e prosegue".

E' uscita una nuova versione in beta del famoso emulatore Amiga per Windows. Si tratta di una beta, può essere ancora instabile.

- Fixed DirectDraw on screen led status bar surface allocation error when switching modes in some situations.
– A3000 quickstart CIA mapping fixed (no mirrors, can’t enable both CIAs at the same time, only original Gary does this) and 0xc0-0xcf added (same as A4000) Only affects very badly behaving programs, programs that most likely wouldn’t run on A3000 or A4000, with or without this change.
– Do not fully recalculate display parameters if only long/short field state changes.
– Lace<>non-lace mode switch scanline flashing effect hopefully fixed (may also break something else..)
– Overlay graphics Direct3D mode should have more correct positioning again (still not exactly right)
– Z3 board <16M RAM size autoconfig data makes more sense.
– Upper half of 8M RTG Z2 board was overridden by Gayle PCMCIA address space if enabled.
– Windows 8 Consumer Preview tested, didn’t notice any problems.

Toni said he’s gonna leave sound buffer adjustments for later (after 2.4.0). It would take at least a month or more to get back to stable state and this update would only affect low sound buffer vsync modes.

Volevo provare a creare una dll in C++ e utilizarla "dentro" un programma C#.

Se la dll contine solo delle funzioni non è difficile, per esempio ho scritto questa semplice dll:

#include <stdio.h>

extern "C"
{
  __declspec(dllexport) void DisplayHelloFromDLL()
  {
    printf ("Hello from DLL !n");
  }
}

e richiamarla dentro un programma C# è facile:

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;     // DLL support

class HelloWorld
{
    [DllImport("TestLib.dll")]
    public static extern void DisplayHelloFromDLL ();

    static void Main ()
    {
        Console.WriteLine ("This is C# program");
        DisplayHelloFromDLL ();
    }
}

questo programma (una console application) semplicemente stampa "Hello from DLL !" sulla console.

Se però la dll C contiene anche per esempio una definizione di una struttra, la posso "esportare" ed usare nel programma C# o la dovrei "trasformare" in una classe usando StructLayout? Qualcuno conosce qualche esempio?

Rilasciata la nuova versione con alcuni bugfix di Legend of Edgar, un platform per MOS.

Visto che probabilmente la scheda di rete integrata nella mia mobo (Realtek PCIe GBE Family) probabilmente non è supportata, be devo prendere una... tra i chipset RTL, qual'è quello meglio supportato?
