  1. the attached was uploaded here... way back, somwhere. It has a AVX512 "fastpath" compiled version in there. If you replace "RastaConverter.exe" with the program in there called "RastaConverterBeta7.icl17.AVX512.exe" (copy and rename to RastaConverter.exe" after moving the original RastaConverter.exe" it may do something. Not sure I ever had an AVX512 capable processor to try it on, and I struggled to compile anything, not being familiar with C++ but it might be interesting to see. The AVX2 version also in there made not the slightest difference to speed that I could tell though. RastaConverterBeta7-icl17.zip
  2. Well there is this https://github.com/lybrown/RastaMovie from way back when RastaConverter was new. @Xuel based it on RastaConverter beta3. Up to 64 frames.
  3. RastaSlide - RastaConverter Slide Show Maker and Tools - version 3.4 some improvements to the "try to fix HPOS artefacts" tool. Some artefacts will always be impossible to fix though. RastaSlide 3.4.zipsheddy_cute_panda.xex
  4. Nothing much, sorry The experimental tool in RastaSlide 3.3 to attempt conversions between NTSC and PAL colours was not a great success. It is quite amazing how often RastaConverter manages to find solutions which share the same value for a colour and horizontal player position - even in a single picture there are many. Changing a colour to something else means finding more time in the kernel to load that value. By optimizing out the junk filler code RastaConverter leaves in the kernel as part of its process and reducing to 128 colours I thought the tool had a fair chance of being able to convert most colours in a picture. Unfortunately I was wrong about that
  5. Maybe you are psychic! I do have an improved fixer tool I was going to share with you guys, probably in a few days. There's still some bugs to squish
  6. @andyhants I think the guys are right that there's too many problems with trying to collate them using the Atari itself. RastaSlide can make an XEX slideshow that contains as many RastaConverter pictures as you can get your hands on though, which is probably your best bet for running on real hardware. Some really great pictures here recently. Hope everyone has happy holidays.
  7. RastaSlide - Slideshow Maker Changes in version 3.3 - slides with no name causing assembly errors fixed - extract pictures from slideshow with duplicate or no name slides no longer overwrite thanks to @Beeblebrox for reporting the problem where no name is wanted for a slide and for suggesting some new features. Some might be too complex but will try incorporating others. RastaSlide 3.3.zip
  8. RastaConverter Slide Show Maker - version 3.2 Changes in version 3.2 - "#try to fix HPOS artefacts" could make new artefact during previous position display RastaSlide 3.2.zip
  9. RastaSlide - Slideshow Maker - version 3.1 Changes in version 3.1 - Register re-allocation now done on kernel optimisation for some compression gains - "#try to fix HPOS artefacts" allocation failures fixed with improved re-allocator - Added experimental tools "#try to map NTSC to PAL" and "#try to map PAL to NTSC" RastaSlide 3.1.zip sheddy_hot_air_balloons.xex
  10. RastaSlide Slideshow Maker version 3.0 Changes in version 3.0 - No changes to slide show maker, only RastaConverter tools - Addition of experimental tool "#try to fix HPOS artefacts" - Which player displays during which kernel instruction in each line shown in comments - RastaConverter's HPOS write delay assumptions were not factored in to the detection of possible artefacts, causing false positives - "#disassemble" showing no values in comments fixed (Example artefact fix) RastaSlide 3.0.zip
  11. The display list is hard coded and it's pretty big at around 750 bytes. Rest of the viewer is only about 100 bytes or so. Making RastaSlide I found compressing the kernel and picture tended to gave a smaller file size than changing to fewer instructions in the kernel and also compressing!
  12. RastaSlide - RastaConverter Slide Show Maker - version 2.7 Changes in version 2.7 - Includes Drpeter's version 4 "Tutorial Walkthrough" for artefact correction - Added detection of an extra cause of HPOS line artefacts described in that guide - Folders of slides can be added now as well as folders of RastaConverter pictures - PMG file output in same MADS hex data format as RastaConverter RastaSlide 2.7.zip sheddy_peacock_feather.xex
  13. The fixing guide is all down to @drpeter. Very comprehensive tutorial and technical background on RastaConverter. I think this is the latest version: I added some timing info comments and "line artefact detection" to RastaSlide disassembler to help with manually fixing artefacts although we still end up with false positives. So there is a base to build on an automatic fix attempt. I haven't come up with an approach that is simple enough for me to implement confidently yet though.
  14. RastaSlide - RastaConverter Slide Show Maker - version 2.6 Changes in version 2.6 - Fixed bug on optimized kernel trailing loads getting undone, and to the wrong line - Optimizer removes player colour writes(leaving last) when there is no player data The bug caused minor visual differences at the bottom of a very few RastaConverter pictures as slides so recommend to update RastaSlide 2.6.zip sheddy_heart_in_sand.xex
  15. RastaSlide - RastaConverter Slide Show Maker - version 2.5 Changes in version 2.5 - Optimizer now removes HPOS writes when there is no player data for their range, for small compression gain and reducing false positives of possible artefacts using "#disassemble optimized" - Fixed bugs with false positive detection of possible artefacts excluding real ones - Timing and artefact comments only produced with disassembly tools and not slide add - Fixed problems displaying 3 pictures made with a very early(beta?) RastaConverter: "cliff", "purple_nurple" and "sakuras2b" sheddy_umbrella.xex RastaSlide 2.5.zip
  16. RastaSlide - RastaConverter Slide Show Maker - version 2.4 Changes in version 2.4 - Removed false positives of possible artefacts on duplicate writes by "#disassemble" - Includes Drpeter's latest version 3 "Tutorial Walkthrough" for artefact correction Thanks to Drpeter for our messaging about the false positives which I hadn't given enough thought about in the above case. RastaSlide 2.4.zip
  17. RastaSlide - RastaConverter Slide Show Maker - version 2.3 Changes in version 2.3 - Remove intermediate "#disassemble optimized" files which otherwise get used to build - Added detection for newly discovered 6 colour clock HPOS thermal delay artefacts - Reduced false positives of possible artefacts (thanks to Drpeter) Very interesting this odd problem hasn't been noticed before. Could it be related to age of boards/chips too - Would a brand new Atari in 1979 have had the same issue? RastaSlide 2.3.zip
  18. Ah yes. Thanks! I hadn't noticed it had translated. That 6502 is much more readable in the original Polish now.
  19. Just having a look at the source. "Jan”, "you", "constant". Macros? What do they do please?
  20. Run address is right at the end. E0 02 E1 02 00 58 Change to E2 02 E3 02 00 58 (Load $5800 into INI address $2E2, $2E3) Well, that doesn't seem to work. I thought it might be because Rastaconverter trashes DOSVEC, but changing it to use a different zero page still crashes after the picture is done. Must be missing something dumb as Actually it does work. It was just too quick to notice! Problem was I chose another Rastaconverter picture to be the XEX test to load after the 1st picture. Because the 2nd picture loads instantly in the emulator, still having the space bar pressed from exiting the 1st picture causes the 2nd to exit immediately... Anything except another Rastaconverter picture XEX to load after will probably be just fine.
  21. Run address is right at the end. E0 02 E1 02 00 58 Change to E2 02 E3 02 00 58 (Load $5800 into INI address $2E2, $2E3) Well, that doesn't seem to work. I thought it might be because Rastaconverter trashes DOSVEC, but changing it to use a different zero page still crashes after the picture is done. Must be missing something dumb as RastaSlides are chained together in the XEX in the same way
  22. Good question. Probably, change the Rastaconverter run address to be an ini address instead. Then assuming no source, remove the 1st 2 "ff" header bytes of the XEX file that is to be loaded afterwards and append it to the Rastaconverter XEX. Maybe you don't need to remove the header bytes though. Finding the run address of the Rastaconverter picture without source might be a pain. Can send you a bit more specific if you need. Kind regards Chris
