Posting here because although I'm working in Blitzmax, there's a potential hardware-specific problem that I want to check out the severity/existence of.

http://www.desktopgaming.net/junk/test.rar (~80k)

Its a simple hardware test which draws load of circles to the backbuffer, grabs a portion of it, then draws it on screen at the mouse coords. Press ESC to exit.

Just need to know if it works - nothing else. If it *doesn't* work for whatever reason, hardware spec would be handy.

Thanks.

Works fine for me :)

Works.

Works fine here:

Windows XP SP2, Pentium D 3.2GHz, 2GB, GeForce FX 5200

Might be handy to switch drivers and make sure it works on all of them - although I've never had an issue with grabimage.

Steve

Have you released games using GrabImage?


therevills(Posted 2011) [#6]
Yep, the Bloobles used it at run time to create some of the damage tiles - this was using OpenGL and Directx7.


H&K(Posted 2011) [#7]
Works

WeBbook xp

You realise your about the only person who when they say, just download this and run it, that I do. If our kid did that for some bloke he "talked to on the net" he'd be banned from the comp.

Works for me


GfK(Posted 2011) [#9]
@H&K: I didn't realise that but I'll take it as a compliment. :)


Warner(Posted 2011) [#10]
Works fine here, too.


jsp(Posted 2011) [#11]
Works also on VMware(uses OpenGL) - XP Image.


BlitzSupport(Posted 2011) [#12]
Fine here.

Just did a bit of site:blitzbasic.com Googling and found there was a DX9-specific GrabImage problem, but it looks like Mark sorted that. Only got a couple of other results for grabimage problem and they appear to have been driver-related.

Thanks all!


GaryV(Posted 2011) [#14]
Tested on 9 different systems at work today. Worked fine on a big variety of specs.


Ross C(Posted 2011) [#15]

Ah, Norton blocked and removed the program for behaving suspiciously.


Guy Fawkes(Posted 2011) [#26]
It does that ><


Grisu(Posted 2011) [#27]
Works fine here on an i7-920 + Ati6850 + Win7 (64 Bit).

@Steve: norton is a paranoid schizophrenic. This exe is a compiled version of the code i posted in the blitzmax forum last week and is as innocent as code gets.


Adam Novagen(Posted 2011) [#29]
norton is a paranoid schizophrenic.

Best thing I've read all day. Norton once gave me a blaring popup warning because I had opened Internet Explorer, and - horror of horrors - it was trying to access the internet. EGAD. While the mere fact that I was still USING Internet Explorer at that time was admittedly cause for alarm, you see the point I'm trying to make. ;D
