Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Re: PiStorm firmware upgrade.

HI, the only problem with the wiki is it assumes everyone is using Windows and I am not. And I have been
struggling mightily to figure out how to Partition the SD card on a Mac and I am not finding that answer.
Bummer...

Amiga Software Issues and Discussion / Re: OS 3.2 - Is it the cause of all my problems?

I have problems on both machines from gettin the USB to work to games not crashing all the time.

When talking about games you probably mean old-school WHDLoad games and similar, not modern system-friendly games.

Those old games usually disable the OS. A disabled OS cannot react on interrupts. An unhandled interrupt causes the system to freeze / crash. So any hardware which causes interrupts needs to be disabled before you can run games. This includes network interfaces, USB controllers and others.

WHDLoad has an option to run a script before a game starts and another one when the game ends. In this script you can disable the USB stack and enable it again afterwards.

I run OS 3.2 in emulation, so in my case it does not touch the actual hardware.  I am using the OS 3.2 ROM file as supplied on the OS 3.2 CD.  OS 3.2 requires more RAM than OS 3.1 does. Not sure if this is an issue for you.

As I recall, OS 3.2 works best with the OS 3.2 ROMs.

If you want to go back to OS 3.1 ROMs, I would suggest going back to OS 3.1 entirely.  I never had 3.5 or 3.9 so I don't know if they used 3.1 rom or tailor made roms.

Amiga Software Issues and Discussion / OS 3.2 - Is it the cause of all my problems?
« Last post by sheepz on September 16, 2023, 02:45:46 PM »
Hi

I am getting back into using my amaigas and have now built the A4000D of my dreams and keeping my 1200 in its original from factor.

The plan was to have the A1200 for all the classic gaming (with a TF1260 and a Gotec and CF card in the PRMICIA slot for transferring stuff to it). While the A4000D with its graphics card, sound card and 060 and USB for some more serious stuff.

The problem is, with even a basic OS 3.2 install I have problems on both machines from gettin the USB to work to games not crashing all the time. Should I go back to the 3.1 roms and just work from there as thats what most of the HD images online seem to be?

I seem to be good at building my amigas, but its seems to be nothing but software issues for me, and any time I ask for help, the answer seems to be to go back to 3.1 and remove all the upgrades  ;D

Thanks

Barry

Do you mean this vid?  https://youtu.be/QaEZYFVqzcc?feature=shared

At around 16:22 in this vid there is a possible solution to the firmware.bin question.

You're watching a 7 month old video of Chris referring to the then-current wiki page. I've looked in the history of the page and the reference to firmware.bin was edited out on 16 Feb. Presumably the master instructions from the official Emu68 pages got updated after a software change. Follow the latest instructions here. http://wiki.amiga.org/index.php/Pistorm32-Lite

Lastly, you've said that you get the Emu68 logo on your HDMI source, so the hardware is working.

Hello Andy, Chris Edward’s video “Amiga 1200 Pistorm32,” at the 31 minute mark. He identifies
the file “PS32-lite.gz,” and says to rename it to “firmware.bin.gz.” Can’t find any other place where
he talks about it.

I'm stumped! I've been running Emu68 since April and I don't have this file visible on my Pi.

Where is it in your file structure?

Gentleman Thank you for this good information. I upgraded the file you pointed out.  But that is not
the file I am looking for. The file I am looking to update is the only file that does not come with the package.
The "firmware.bin" file. My issue with my PiStorm32.lite is that the HDMI function on my Pi has stopped working.
When I first set it up the HDMI output was working fine. Then I decide to just use VGA and so disconnected it.
Later when I went back to the HDMI I only get the EMU 68 grey screen. So I updated all the software, but I could
not find that "firmware.bin." Just hoping that this will fix my issue. Any information on where this file is and what
it exactly does.
Thank you,
Brad Hansen
