Getting AROS Vision to run in Win-UAE

[wawrzon]

you need to reference aros roms in your configuration. they which should be included somewhere with the distribution. there are two files:
main rom file - aros-amiga-m68k-rom.bin
and extended rom file - aros-amiga-m68k-ext.bin

[wawrzon]

if you want to softboot from amiga roms, you can.but you need to edit the aros startup sequence.

 include:

boot/amiga/AROSBootstrap ROM boot/amiga/aros.hunk.gz

at tha beginnimg of the s-s, before setpatch

if there is no mouse pointer visible, set hardware sprite emulation on.

what do you mean with booting 3.1? if you are not booting with aros roms and neither load aros rom after booting with 3.1 then you are still running aos. but possibly aros vision startup-sequence already contains the line i have posted.

@Havie

i dont know what are you doing there. either you want to boot to aros, then follow my instructions, or you want to boot to anything you happen to boot then continue as previous..

@olaf
i would download the distribution just to check, but cant find the damn link, the page is a nightmare.. google points me here:
http://www.natami-news.de/html/distribution_download.html
and when i copy the link i am again by google which points me back to where i was..
its like kafka.. i hve asked so many times to fix this and have a straight clear front download page.. im to tired to repeat this..

[wawrzon]

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?

[wawrzon]

i dont understand this, you provide a download but dont want to link to it to avoid responsibility? i dont get how this is gonna work..

back on subject, aros vision startup-sequence contains this first line:
boot/AROSBootstrap ROM boot/aros.hunk.gz  

this explains why aros vision boots from 3.1 roms without modifications, thats fine, but

aros.hunk.gz in boot subdir is 538.289 big and from 21.06, while
aros.hunk.gz in boot/amiga subdir (where nightly roms are currently stored) is 538.337 big and from 07.07

any reason aros vision while soft booting references these old roms?

id suggest to remove all files from the boot directory except for subdirs, and change scripts to point to currently standard boot/amiga dir.

highres laced should be perfectly readable on uae. it does not even flicker.

[wawrzon]

yes, please.

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.

have you perhaps edited your startup-sequence using a windows editor? if yes it rendered it unreadable for amiga/aros under uae due to different line feed. always edit amiga scripts under amiga or aros68k

[wawrzon]

has this now helped anything or not?
