Getting AROS Vision to run in Win-UAE

[OlafS3]

I seem unable to get AROS Vision to run inside of Win-UAE.  I tried following the setup steps for it from the AROS Vision page, but it just sits there and mocks me by doing nothing.  Any tips?  Do I need smacked upside the head?  Any thoughts appreciated.

I might know the problem...

I tried to install it on a older notebook but only got a black screen and just solved it. I use it on a notebook with 1280x720 and it seems that it not boots if that screenmode is not supported.

Solution: Delete screenmode.prefs

Sys:Prefs/env-archive/sys

then boot it and select a new screenmode, f.e. 1024x768. Then reboot and it should work

you can reach screenmode prefs in menu (rightclick)

If I choose 3.1 rom it loads up stuff in through the cli and then I get a wavy yellow screen...
 
if I use AROS replacement rom I just get a blank screen.

I had setup this manual. It seems that it is partly not up-to-date now (I did it some time ago) but it could give at least hints

Got it working ok - still booting 3.1 but not edited startup sequence.  Once it began to boot (following deletion of DOS stuff) it locked into an infiinte reboot.  Then I was able to set the memory correctly and it booted.  Once I'd set the RTG memory to 64meg all was fine.  Didn't seem to like more than this though.
 
Will continue to play around with it and the AROS replacement rom.
 
This set up looiks like a likely replacement for my programming set up (which I messed up trying to install Blitz 3.5 and ADF my Flappy Bird game).
 
One problem I have had is I can't run AB3DII from WHDload (I have a key registered to me) as is comes up with an error - Can't allocate Expmem.  Any ideas?

I use much more RAM than 64 MB so it should have no problem. Use rom replacements how Wawa said. I am even surprised that it boots with original roms at all but it will not work fully then. WHDLoad works perfectly, you need the key in S and the roms from f.e. Amigaforever

Definietly booting with a 3.1 rom is this wrong?  Does AROS only work properly with AROS rom as it seems ok to me?

I cannot say if it works properly with 3.1. Rom but it is designed for Aros rom

Have located AROS rom and ext  in Boot but when I choose these roms it doesn't boot!:confused:
 
I was under the impression that the AROS rom was a replacement for the Amiga rom and that AROS Vision is a combination of Wanderer etc. and is is a replacement for Workbench (and the rom didn't matter too much?).

Aros Vision uses Magellan as desktop (not Wanderer). It needs the rom replacements to work properly. It is replacing Workbench but you cannot simply f.e. install wanderer on 3.1. and use it instead of Workbench. You can (in many cases) use 68k components on Aros 68k though.

You say it does not boot? What exactly happens? Have you deleted screenmode.prefs already? The problem with screenmode happens if you install it on a netbook/notebook with low resolutions

I use Winuae 2.6.1. Which version do you use?

[OlafS3]

I have pm you a link to my working uae config file. Theoretically you can use it and must only adapt paths (including paths to roms) and perhaps graphic and sound drivers

i went to amiga-news.de news page
http://www.amiga-news.de/de/news/AN-2014-08-00013-DE.html
which pointed me to that broken download page again
and then noticed a small link down the news item
http://www.aros-platform.de/downloads/Aros_Vision.zip

downloading now...

is there a reason it must be hidden and only accessible via third party links?

Yes... there was someone claiming that I spread a trojan that installs when someone clicks on the link. I do not believe that at all but to avoid any claims of that sort again I removed any direct link. There is a link from main page to download page but not a direct download link.

I got as far as it loading to a CLI screen, but it goes no farther than that.  I double checked everything and as far as I can tell I set it up as close as I can get to the instructions I had found.  I am on an Athlon 64 @ 2.0GHz, and WinUAE 2.8.1.  Thanks for the replies so far gang, and as always, suggestions/help/locations for looney bins appreciated.

I have send you the link to my config-file (PM). When you adapt the paths and graphic card/sound card it should work. I use 2.6.1 but I think 2.8 works too

Sorry - being thick. It wasn't highres interlace that was the problem but superhires interlace!  Realised that I needed to turn on superhires option in WinUAE and now all clear. Can obviously run in 256 colours no problem. Much better screen space for programming.

One tip, I have created a filetype for amiblitz source-files, that means if you right-click on a source-file icon you can compile it without IDE. There are two versions of amiblitz included, including 3.6.1

RTG should work too. If you right-click the mouse you get the menu on the title bar and there you find screenmode in prefs (or you get there the normal way). There should be a lot of RTG modes. Amiblitz IDE does not work on RTG? I have tested it there and all seemed fine.
