Wipeout 2097 on OS4.1
« on: December 21, 2008, 06:32:25 PM »
Hi everyone,
I finished a clean "stock" installation of AOS 4.1 on my A1-SE G3 (fixed by AmigaCenter) Fsb = 133 Mhz, 2 identicals 1Gb ECC Reg 133Mhz, Radeon 9100-128mb, SB Live! and its drive, RTL 8139, Sil680 (can't boot 4.1 on it, but it's ok for 4.0 final !), nothing on the usb port...
I tested it ok with OWB, ibrowse,... but with Wipeout 2097...
I'm quite deseapointed !
It got some lags, freeze, buggy shadows, and low FPS (30/40 on track 1)!

The same game works well on my others PPC machine :

1200PPC-224/060 at about 13-15 FPS (Voodoo3) with AOS3.9 and MorphOS 1.4.5 PuP (15-18 FPS).

1200PPC-240/040 at about 11-13 FPS (Bvision) with AOS3.9 and MorphOS 1.4.5 PuP (12-15 FPS - W3D libs for AOS3.x).

Pegasos 1-April 1 G3 (FSB 100 Mhz, 1.5 Gb Ecc Reg), the same Radeon 9100-128Mb, NCR SCSI-2, Nec USB2, Miro PCTV, and the same type of harddrive : seagate 20 Gb... got 40-100 Fps with MorphOS 1.4.5 and 60-140 Fps 2.0 (i haven't yet tried 2.1 and 2.0)

Pegasos 2 G4 (FSB 133 Mhz), 2 identicals 512Mb Ecc Reg DDR400, Radeon 8500LE-128Mb (same as the 9100) ,  NCR SCSI-2, Nec USB2, Miro PCTV, and the same type of harddrive : seagate 20 Gb... got 60-120 Fps with MorphOS 1.4.5 and 2.0 (i haven't yet tried 2.1 and 2.0) got 60-180 Fps..

And finaly the Wipeout XL demo version on PC  ;-)  :
Athlon XP 2000+, 2x 256mb ddr266 non ECC in dual channel mode, the same Radeon 9100-AGP 8x mode, windows ME,  Nforce-2 with 5.1 audio,... and a Nec PowerVR2 card !
Works but buggy display and lags  :-o.
Replace the Radeon with a S3-Trio 64 (2mb), then it worked very well and fast... I didn't find the trick to display the FPS, but it seemed to be between the 2 Pegs.

Also got it on Sega Saturn and Sony Playstation too

Hyp site seems to be in "repair mode"...
Is there any update anywhere ?
Any tricks ?  :-?
Keep the Faith !
VG 5000/A1000/500/500+/600/2000/CDTV/1200PPC-GREX/1200PPC -ATEO-BV/4060D/CD32/Aone/Peg 1/Peg2 G4/ various funny machines too  :-) http://www.mo5.com/collection/index.php?pseudo=CLS2086
I also repair drives of our old beloved Amiga

Not sure how to comment on your problem there.

My wipeout 2097 demo is not at all buggy and is working fine.
the only thing I have done is made sure that I have retrieved all the up to date libraries and the like at the time.

another note, I had also found that there were some libraries missing after my os4.1 install, for older rtg type games. I know this sentence off topic.

another off topic sentence, does crossfire 2 demo work, shogo or heretic 2 on your os4.1??

Shogo demo is a tad tempromental on my sam440ep, but it usually works if you keep moving. when you stand still thats when I get DSI for some reason?

i know I got things like warcraft 2, doom type games, hexen, feeble files was working(not sure what I did last for it not to work) Descent, etc, etc.

try chromium BSU, I like this game.

Get the stratagus.lha, and with it comes invasion - Battle for survival game also.

How is your DVplayer working on os4.1? I noticed that I was missing a library and codec, when a fellow os4.1 user told me his setup in LIBS.

Anyway, not sure if I even helped you, but it'll be worth checking out the versions of all your libraries that the wipeout game may require to use? Maybe there is a newer version of something needed. OS4depot ofcourse, should have it.
