Getting AROS Vision to run in Win-UAE

[Havie]

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.

Me too!  Help!!!

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.

[Havie]

Ah - that would explain the AROS rom issue.
 
I have now got it to boot with 3.1 by removing all the DOS drivers but strangley WINUAE keeps resetting the memory allocated?

[Havie]

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?

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

[Havie]

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?).

[Havie]

Have tried deleting screenmode prefs but makes no difference, just hangs on a blank screen.
 
I am using the same version of WinUAE and running it on a Core2Duo desktop with 4gb of memory.
 
Any other suggestions?

[Havie]

That's great thank you .  Am out and about at the moment back will have a look later.

[Havie]

Thanks for the config file Olaf - it works!  Doesn't like too much memory though so will need some tweaking and certainly isn't working with the setting as suggested from the download page.
 
Have realised that if I want to use it as a Blitz development environment then RTG is out so having to run at PAL highres.  Laced produces unreadable text so runnning hires laced is out at the moment.
 
Did compile and run my version of Flappy Bird so happy enough.
 
Thanks for all your help and I think I'm going to enjoy getting used to AROS although I don't think I'm brave enough to try it on my real 030 1200 - yet!

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

Works for other hd setups I have but for some reason on the AROS one it is unreadable. If you would like, I could post a screen shot?

[Havie]

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.

Now AB3DII works - yeah!  It's not bad at a decent speed but still not a patch on the first one (shame about the bloby pixels - will we ever see a 1x1 mode?)
