Does the wipe effect work in the Windows version?

[FrenkelS]

I'm working on a DOS port of GBADoom and I noticed the wipe effect didn't work in my port. I haven't tried building the Windows version, but when I look at the code I wonder if the screen melt does work in that version.

In f_wipe.c wipe_doMelt() calls I_GetFrontBuffer() to get a pointer to the screen. In i_system_e32.cpp it returns frontbuffer, but this array is never drawn to the screen, right?

In my port, in wipe_StartScreen() I copy the back buffer to the front buffer and in wipe_doMelt(), in the while-loop, I explicitly draw the content of the front buffer to the screen.

Hi,

No, the wipe doesn't work in Windows. The Windows version is just for testing and debugging so a few bits and peices are not implimented on Windows. On the GBA, frontbuffer is the video memory for the screen currently being displayed.
