Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Re: CyberstormPPC max temperature
« Last post by F0LLETT on April 18, 2024, 04:55:42 PM »
Hi, i installed a temperature sensor under the fan of the powerPC of my Cyberstorm PPC board. I actually have 35 °C. Do you know the temperature value not to exceed to avoid damages on this board ?

Thanks.

According to datasheet for Processor, its max temp is 105 °C Deg.

@FOLLETT

I've gotten the captcha each time I've used "search" while not logged in.

Perhaps that is what the poster is experiencing or similar.

Whooops, hit modify instead of reply, really need to move that button, ;).

Ah, thats delibrate. Its not uncommon, I think EAB do also if not logged in.

General chat about Amiga topics / PiSTORM in general
« Last post by F0LLETT on April 18, 2024, 04:44:13 PM »
I see not much is posted in relation to discussing the PiSTORM.

I didn't know until the other day, someone created a tweaked version of WHDLoad.
Its basically a wrapper, that alters Emu68 command line options on the fly. It checks its database for game your attempting to run, then alters PiSTORM config to allow that game to runs without glitches.

Have to say, this is final piece of puzzle for my new setup, I have been working on.
So, if anyone uses WHDLoad with PiSTORM, check out WHDLoad Wrapper.

Hello,

I've just returned here after some years and found out I need capthas here and there on the forum. Not for a new topic upto now  8)

Can onyone of you actually read these on a 27" monitor ? I can't complain about the PQ of my LG 27" monitor at all.

Never did I have to download the 8kbit sampled speach of any captcha before (done on a C64 - which is cool BTW) and play it to solve the Captcha...

Thanks for looking into it, Arno

Not sure I follow, Captcha only on registration. It can be awkward to read, however stops stupid spam bots, etc etc.

On my 32" Monitor, I cant read anything. However for graphics and gaming, its pin sharp. Spose thats what I get for buying a cheap'ish OLED.

The Amiga 1000 had some serious issues with it's case. A major crack was found on one corner, which had a badly bodged repair. The case was also stained with an odd rusty residue. Inside the rust theme continued, with the power supply displaying water damage. Lets see what I can do to get the main machine back in a fit state!

I made modifications to this simple 14MHz accelerator by Dennis:
https://github.com/Mathesar/14mhz-accelerator

It runs at either 21 or 28MHz with a configurable PLL.  Photo attached, along with SysInfo and problem shown in ATK.

It's quite speedy (approximately 16MHz 030 A3000 equivalent according to SysInfo result), largely thanks to the zero waitstate memory at that processor frequency, games like Hard Drivin' and 4D Sports Driving (Stunts) have a nice frame rate, and DREAD demo is super smooth.  Every game that runs on the unmodified 14MHz accelerator also runs with the 28MHz modification.  The problem is that music routines run too fast in most games.  A Goggle search pointed me to a gentleman with similar sound symptoms caused by a weak /DTACK pullup, which ultimately led me to discover that my Amiga is having much higher interrupt frequency as measured in ATK.  This problem is not present with unmodified 14MHz accelerator.

My mind isn't as sharp as it was after I finished my university computer engineering degree more than a decade ago, so I'd like to ask for some help figuring out what causes the higher interrupt count and figure out what I should do to improve it.

The Amiga board I am using here is an NTSC 500 rev.5, and the only modifications I made to the accelerator are substituting a configurable PLL, a 10ns delay line to line up the clock edges, and using the buffered 7MHz reference clock from the PLL instead of the one from the system to feed the /DTACK and /AS synchronizing flip-flops because it has a nicer waveform with less skew.

Help is appreciated.
