There is a CyberGraphX driver for Piccolo use it! You can forget problem after that.


Hmm. I would. The only problem is that CyberGraphX still seems to be sold, hence it's not free to download, or?

Nobody has it stock. Checked amigakit, vesalia and few others. EAB fileserver seems to have it.

CyberGraphiX 3 is free, you can found it from aminet.

Did you try changing the P96 settings like if you have them enabled, Planes to Fast, Disable Amiga Blitter, and so on?

Did you set the Maxtransfer  value of your HD partitions at 00x01fe00?

If you didn't set this value, then you couldn't run any WHDLoad Games.

I had this issue 17 years ago with my Blizzard 1260.

Two years ago I also bought an Amiga 4000 and put a 3640 card with 040-060 adapter and Full 68060 processor and I can start WHDLoad games without any issues.

The games work on the same machine when the Picasso display driver is not loaded.
So I assume that maxtransfer is OK.

No, I haven't checked those.

I can say that with CyberGraphX it works.
The WHDLoad games run OK when started from RTG workbench screen.

See the last page on this thread for some additional info on the GVP Spectrum, especially the bit from the WHDLoad manual I quoted in comment #29, and THoR's comment # 30.

I seem to remember having the same issue with my BlizzardPPC060 and graphics card with p96, I think it was being caused my an env variable, possible either related to loading graphics into fast ran or enabling 44KHz audio over the onboard audio chip or possibly both.

As my A1200 Tower and BlizzardPPC card are in storage I cant test that just at the moment.  But It may be worth checking the amiga guide help file for p96.

Or you can just stick with CyberGraphiX which seemed to be quite good when I had my BlizzardVision , but I needed to swap over to p96 when I got my Voodoo3 card, and that's when the real problems started trying to play WHDLoad games.

OK. I'm reading there that the Picollo obviously make such an Interrupt as well, hence either I'm reverting to P96 below 1.36 or use CGFX.

CGFX supports screen dragging. It's not bad at all.

Wasn't Jens / Individual Computers supposed to take over sole distribution of this a year or so back? Or was that P96? Eh, a lot of talk and then nothing. Typical Amiga product announcement. :(

I think Jens acquired P96. I haven't heard any news about CGX in probably close to a decade...
