Picasso96Setting file on PiStorm32-Lite

[bradhansen1]

Hi All, back again with more pain. I am trying to install Picasso96 on my A1200 running 3.2.1, because Hyperion won't help me download
the 3.2.2 update because I lost my Serial number on my OS3.2 CD! I am running PiStorm32-Lite using my Pi3B+. Everything is great except
that when I try to do a clean install of Picasso96, which I got from Aminet, It will not setup the "Picasso96Stetting file in my DEV directory.
I have no idea why not? And it is like the last step to completing this upgrade.  Could anyone suggest why this is happening?
Would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Brad Hansen

Hey Andy, Thanks so much for taking the time to help me.  About the P96, yes the install finished completely. I will do it
over and run SnoopDos. Been using Amigas since 1988 but never learned hows to use SnoopDos. Have followed the step by 
step instructions from GitHub. Now about the update to 3.2.2. I had someone at Hyperion help me with the download of 3.2.1
and then I spent $35 on a shirt from there store to hopefully put me in their good graces. Now when it came to 3.2.2 I again ask for help and after explaining my use and love for Amigas over the years got this response. "orders@hyperion-entertainment.com., I'll get you a new serial. Use alt mail to create alt Hyperion account." Which I did about a month ago and have sent them 5 emails asking them for the new
serial number. But I have never heard back since then.  You tell me what's up, because I haven't a clue.
Thanks again,
Brad Hansen

Hi, Just noticed as I was Installing a fresh copy of Picasso96, in the setup window it lists the files it is installing
and it says "Settings will not be installed." Why is that happening? Without the settings I can not open the P96 Prefs
and choose the correct board to setup?

First, Thanks for all the good advice. It should not matter what graphics mode I choose as long as I edit it to add the VC4 card.
And after I do that and restart and go the the then open Picasso96mode in Prefs it gives the standard message of "No modes found."
Then when I go to create new setting and then got to "attach setting to" the drop down menu says "No board?"
So I don't know how to proceed after that?

Thomas, thank you, but I have done all that and then did it again and then did it again. I still get the same result.
There is one other thing,i sometimes when I do a fresh install and then go to P96mode in prefs and pull down "Attach to settings"
it lists "Board0: VideoCore." I have searched for this VideoCore driver but it's not there. So where is it looking for it at?
The Libs/Picasso96 folder does not have it and neither does the Main P96 folder and of course it is not in the Devs/Monitors folder.
You tell me and thanks again for taking the time,
Brad Hansen

Andy, Thomas, Success! Hi, I have succeeded in getting an RTG Devs/Monitor working. Andy, followed you link and understood that in Picasso96mode under "Attach Settings," it often showed me "Board0: VideoCore." So I went into Dev/Monitors and
for the RTG monitor I had chosen when I installed Picasso96, I changed that name to "VideoCore." Back to Picasso96Mode
created a new listing choosing "Board0: VideoCore" and I was then able to add RTG modes there. Restart and in Prefs/Screenmodes
I found the new RTG modes I setup. My monitor can switch back and forth from VGA to HDMI. So choosing the RTG mode and
switching to HDMI I was able to open and use those modes. Wonderful stuff, but I encountered a number of issues, a number of my
most used and favorite Programs can only use VGA modes to view them.? When I am running Amibian and running my Pi separately
I have no problem launching any of those programs in RTG mode using utagfx setup of Picasso96. First thanks for all your help,
really great. But any idea why that is?

Andy, I am using the ScanPlus AGA cards for my VGA. Like wise if I start an app that uses VGA, my screen goes black until
I switch my monitor back to VGA. My goto file manager is DiskMaster 2 and my go to Image manager is ADPro. Neither of
these will open in RTG. Even DOPus 4 freezes most times I open it up. They are working on making this video driver as
compatible as the WinUAE one, no  Any idea how to set these screens to except RTG mode?
Thanks for the support,
Brad Hansen

Andy, thanks for taking the time to let me know. I have gone back to just VGA, the AGA chipset is good enough
and I can run everything with no issues. Maybe they can get a pass through working, would be nice, but I'm happy
with what I have.
