Here is a fractal from the same formula I used in my previous post Galactic Amoebas. There are a lot of different shapes and dotted outlines depending on where you look. I made a fairly large image (4000 x 3000, 3.0 Mb) so you can see better detail. If you open it in a browser make sure to click the image to be able to see it at full size. Here is a link: https://i.imgur.com/1pBFSy6.jpg If anyone is looking for a free image hosting service to use to post your images I would suggest Imgur. The account is free and you can post a direct link to your image without embedding it in a page.

OK , accepted. I just did not like to see 2 Imgur cookies on my omputer that windows could not block and that transmit your address to who knows and are used for spying. Other cloud services do not do that, just will not open images from that sender anymore..

Tim, the presented image is a fake one that cannot be reproduced with Fractint and probably is modified by some imaging software. I have the impression that it serves as adware for the proposed cloud service that requires an account. I think it´s essential that the Fractint forum remains free of such threats and please consider if the sender can be blocked. Thank you Albrecht

DosBox SVN Daum http://ykhwong.xo.st/
by Albrecht Niekamp 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Calculated yesterday´s image with above DosBox again for testing and comparison. 57508-40 and 41. No difference as you can see. There´s no memory problem either, still free blocks and the memory eater evolution mode works perfectly. BUT !! It´s awfully slow. I set the cpu cycles to max and the priority to highest but caculation time is still some hours instead of 30min with VirtualXP Dosmode. So the SDL platform is not "the yellow of the egg" as we say in Germany. Cannot test Jonathan´s SDL Fractint as 1280/1024 and the mmods frm do not work as yet, but it´s a bit faster I suppose. Anyway as an alternative or for sound it is ok. Bill, you say MFR calculation stops after some minutes. Please test this Dosbox. If it still happens you may have a cooling problem with your CPU. Clean it and/or get an additional cooler. There still exist some means to futher speed up performance - increase cpu cycles manually or set a fixed value, which means stress for the CPU of course. I have not changed anymore settings of the config file, maybe there still are some more possible adjustments. Please state if you know any. Thanks. The link is for the DosBox version. ; https://1drv.ms/i/s!AmWYApv7ZBFGgZ0p6k3LIyUm2N4zAA ; Albrecht

The ORB is a shrine built by the aliens who live in the wormhole next to DeepSpaceNine. If you open it you fall into a trance and step out of time... It´s another zoom into the WonderWheel (nr.8) inviting you to get lost in all the details, maybe the best after the TimeMachine. ; Bill and Tim thank you for the good coperation that finally was successfull, just like in the old Fractint times.

Thank you, Bill It´s a good try and works with my changes perfectly in VirtualXP - so I will keep it but with DOSBOX just nothing happens - fractint does not start apparently - i use the dosbox SVN Daum that Hal suggested with a lot of aditional settings in the program folder. And another hot tip: VirtualXP from Oracle has been updated and could be easily installed on Win10-64bit.
