BCS is ready for testing, but Gish needs more work.

Great news, sent you an eMail. http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

@Josiah: I thought you meant Gish because you posted it here.

I've checked my mail that much, its stopped letting me for a while http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':laugh:'>

I simply set it to check every minute and play a short sound when new mail arrives, and at the moment another ("You have mail from Chronic Logic!", spoken by OS X's speech engine*) for mail from CL (you know why).

Hope my Raden 9200 32Mb is enough for BCS and Gish  http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>
You mean a mobility radeon 9200 in an iBook? It should be fast enough, and in case VRAM is an issue (probably not) you can use low-res textures.

I have a mobility radeon 9600 with 64 MB in a PowerBook, which has never been too slow for anything until now. Even at 1280x854x32 it's outperforming a desktop (Windows) PC with a radeon 9600 with 256 MB (yes, latest ATi drivers, with OpenGL support) at 1024x768x16 (even moer at x32). There's only one case in which they perform about equal: when I run http://www.x-plane.com/" target="_blank">X-Plane (demo...) at 'extreme res!' textures setting (1280x854x32 vs. 1024x768x32) with all the textures loaded simultaneously, requiring over 200 MB VRAM. Most of the textures are shown (yes, including the highest detail mipmap) frequently, so it's not that 150 MB just sits swapped in RAM.
I don't know how it does that, but it certainly does. http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'>

Oh, wait, I'm accidently telling Macs are faster, also at games (which is true!).

*Just run "say this -o output.aiff" or "say -f input.txt output.aiff" on the command line. If you want, you can specify the voice with the -v option.

Hi, is the beta ready yet? If so I'll buy Gish now  http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':laugh:'>

how do I get the BCS OS X test http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/Skin/Default/PostIcons/icon9.gif" border="0">  http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>

I am already testing Gish for Linux since a week, runs like a charm without a crash or a slowdown till today. http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Go, buy, apply for beta and have fun with the Penguin. http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

It's tuesday in both time zones, but still nothing. http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
If you're sure it's sent, you can ask me for my Gmail or Hotmail account in a PM (but why not use it instead of e-mail in that case?).

@Graeme43: For BCS you should also send your order info. You can find a thread in the BCS General forum.

[Chronic Logic - Josiah]

The OSX beta e-mails will be sent out later today (Monday)!

I've had nothing yet also,  so i think they haven't been sent yet http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/Skin/Default/PostIcons/icon3.gif" border="0">

[Jonathan_NL]

So I can also beta-test Gish for OSX (in addition to BCS) today or tomorrow. http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
(in my time zone...)

[Jonathan_NL]

Anyway, don't try to do it too fast; that can make things worse.

(and yes, I know we're posting this in the Gish forum, instead of the BCS one...)

[Graeme43]

Ok, I bought it  http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> I hope i can get the beta then  http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>  http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> (for Mac OS X)
