Castaway tos

[gatso]

I just installed castaway with TOS 1.02....Im finding things are running choppy and the sound is crappy.....so my question is this....if i changed TOS roms would it make a marked difference in performence or is it just the emulator??

IIRC Castaway only works with the TOS you are using, its hardcoded into the
emu, anything else wont work.

I do seem to recall a similar problem a couple of months ago though, cant remeber what the resolution was though... anyone else ???

well i haven't updated castaway in a long whiles ( i think i'm two maybe three releases behind ) but IIRC I have TOS 102 and 104 on the gp and occasionally switch between them.

There isn't much of a difference in the outcome, I usually do it to work around some sorta minor, yet show stopping glitch.

There are no means to switch the TOS image from castaway, you simply copy over the working TOS image with one of the two (I store them in a subfolder).

... like I say, it's pretty rare that i need make the switch, and most of the time when i did, it didn't fix the issue.. (but enough times for me to keep a copy of 104 handy

Actually, you can pick which TOS to use from the picker; ie: If you hit A/B on a file named whatever.IMG, then it will be used as the TOS when booting; It defaults to TOS.IMG, but you can override this. So ptu a 1.02 TOS.IMG in place, and you can put a TOS104.IMG (say) in there as well, in case you need it sometime.

(Palm version can't switch TOSes live, though)

It shoudl run very well with 1, 1.02, or 1.04; some games are speedier than others; ie: MAth intensive games run much slower.
