0.8.3 removed

[schibo]

I've removed 0.8.3 from the 1964 website. Too many new problems unfortunately went undetected until after release.

- 98 crash if more than 21 roms in the rom browser.
- Slowdown still not fixed.
- Freezes after a while.
- Cannot view in windowed mode.



We do not have the time to fix these problems right now, but rest assured they will be fixed. Please use 0.7.3. Sorry to ruin your weekend. Let the flaming begin.

[Slougi]

No flaming yet. This is a good sign, right?

[Keith]

Nahh please don't flame, stuff happens and it is great that you know about the issues and are willing to try and fix them. Better to take the link down then have to deal with more users contacting you about similar issues you already know about. Good luck in fixing the problems schibo!

Meh... don't worry about it - you can look forward to bringing down our server again with the release of 0.8.3.1337

In the mean time, anyone care to tell me what an emulator is?

[Martin]

Don't be too hard on yourself schibo, it worked great for me at least.

[Duncan]

True Martin, theres been conflicting reports of it running flawless for some and others have problems

[Trotterwatch]

It worked great for me as well (on XP).

[Martin]

Also, schibo: We've got 1964 v0.8.3 and patch available for download at Emu64 still. If you want me to remove it just let me know.

[schibo]

Ya I think they have to go too

The problem with this version is thread synchronization. Give it enough time, and the emulator will slow down or freeze altogether. Worse still is the tons of Windows98 users I imagine with imprints of their keyboards on their foreheads.

[Martin]

Okay, removing them.

Sorry to hear the bad news though.
