Quake2 PowerPC Exception
« on: June 14, 2007, 09:23:57 PM »
Hi all,

I always get a PowerPC Exception when I want to load a game in Quake 2. If I play from the beginning everything works good.

I have a A1200, BPPC 060/200, G-REX, Voodoo3 3000, OS3.9 BB2, WOS 5.1, Warp3D 4.2a.

I also got the exception with an A4000D with CSPPC, G-REX ...

Does anyone have the same problems ?

Regards

Reiner

Yes, I have installed the updates.

There are no other PPC/WOS apps running.

I use WOS 5.1, Warp3D 4.2a.

I don't think it's a cooling problem. If I play from beginning I don't get a Exception and can play for one or more hours.

do you have "menory protection" disabled in WOS pref?
and try to disable waitstates (at least for PPC) in the memory section of the BPPC/CSPPC early startup menu.


I disabled "memory protection" in WOS prefs.
Then I put the RAM settings to No Read/Write Waitstate for PPC and 68k. The result was the same as before: PowerPC Exception.

Then I put the RAM settings to Read/Write Waitstate for PPC and 68k. And now it works.

No it does not work. It worked two times and then again I get PowerPC exceptions.

@Bamiga2002

Finally somebody with the same problems. I was asking myself if I was the only one.

Did you try the powerpc.library 16.1 Beta and the different PPC RAM settings ?

What config dou you have ?

My savegames worked OK now! I changed from MiniGL NOLRU --> MiniGL, after that they loaded fine! I loaded the game just after WB had loaded.


This was the right hint. After cold boot the saved games are loading. After warm boot I get the PowerPC Exception again. No way I´m happy now.

Thank you
