New version of the exec.library (Amiga Classic)

[AmiDude]

Put in the LoadModule declaration the exec.library first of all and then the rest. Also keep it as first line in S-S just to test it out.

I've put it first in line, no change.

I also saw that there are some spaces in SetPatch line (in exec.library, misc.resource). Is it as you have it or it's a copy-paste mistake?

It was a copy paste mistake, sorry for that.

I also tried it with my A1200/060/50Mhz/OS3.1, A1200/030/50Mhz/OS3.1,
same result... No new exec.library showing up in SysInfo.

Maybe the whole thing has to do with you having a home made KickROM?
Are there any others here who's having the same problems?

Is it relatively straight-forward to create a custom rom image?

I've got a Deneb to put in my A4000 so I want to make an up to date rom with Cosmos and Peter's new libs too.

I wrote an how-to guide some time ago about how to create on your own a Custom 1MB Kickstart 3.9 ROM image:

For Deneb is even easier since you only need to load the Modules into Flash ROM and you're set

@Amidude
Mate, I can't reproduce the issue since on my A630 I have a custom rom kicked via MapROM, and on my A1200PPC I wrote a custom eprom as well
It's been a while since I messed with LoadModule or LoadResident

Thanks, bookmarked for the weekend!

Try with 'LoadModule Reboot Quiet'


And with only the exec.library !

Doesn't work; With WinUAE the screen goes yellow and comes
in an endless rebooting cycle.

With A1200 there's no change; Still no new exec.library in SysInfo.
:confused:

I get an email from PeterK :

Version >Nil: exec.library 45 REVISION 24
If WARN
  LoadResident >Nil: Libs:exec.library
EndIf

Doesn't work... I'm tired of trying all kinds off possibilities. I guess this new
exec.library is only for handmade Kick-ROMs or something...  
On the other hand, all other new librarys and devices work OK.

I tried under WinUAE LoadModule and LoadResident with the exec.library 45.20 (BB2) on a Kickstart 3.1 and it's not working too...

Uploaded a new AmigaOS ROM Update with only the exec.library 45.24 specially for you here : http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=743785&postcount=29

Would this be ok on a 3.1 system? Would it give much benefit?

[Cosmos]

The v45.20 (BB2) not support the 060. Will be fixed in the v45.25 !

The real benefit is coming soon : I'm working on... Colossal task, a bit of patience please...

Thanks Cosmos!:) I'll give it a try and let you know A.S.A.P.

[AmiDude]

Well, it works... It's now recognized by the system, but now the other
new libraries and devices aren't recognized? Very strange... :huh:

New version of the exec.library v45.24 : http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=57950


The exec.library was written in asm since the beginning. So, it's hard to get
a real speedup. Anyway, many bytes can be saved using some 68k tricks.
All the code are always reworked to use all the features of the 68060 with a
full 68000 compatibility. The new 020+ opcodes are used very rarely, so
special _020, _030, _040 and/or _060 functions are created when needed.

This library is now a true jewel of coding. Enjoy !

I tried this on my CSPPC/060 & ALGOR.
I replaced the exec 45.20 module with Exec 45.24, and I got a yellow screen... so I skiped the ALGOR EPROM, and reinstalled the 45.20 :-(
