AmigaOS4+UAE

[looren]

Hello

Iv just received my copy of OS4.1 for classic Amiga, although I dont have any real hardware to run it on I really want to try it out.
Trying to set it up with FS-UAE 2.6.2, wondering if anyone has any experience with this?

There seems to be a preset config for '3.1 ROM, CyberStorm PPC (Amiga OS 4.x) and I have added the following lines form a how-to I found on Google:
cpu = 68060
cpuboard_flash_file = /home/looren/AmigaOS4.1/cyberstormppc_44.71.rom
graphics_card = picasso-iv
hard_drive_0_controller = ide0
hard_drive_0_type = rdb
motherboard_ram = 8192
uae_cpu_model = 68060
uae_cpu_type = 68040
uae_cpuboard_type = CyberStormPPC
uae_cpuboardmem1_size = 128
uae_fpu_model = 68060

And in the "Kickstart ROM" I have loaded: Kickstart-v3.1-rev40.70-A4000.rom

But when I click 'Start' I get error message: Did not find any required Kickstart or ROM.
No idea what to do next, somebody got any idea?

I guess you are referring to: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=75195 ?

I have already tried this, seems massively outdated. Also, still have no idea why I would get error messages for the ROM.

[looren]

I guess you mean 'cyberstormppc_44.71.rom' ? If so, yes

nicholas; on linux

winaue on wine, that made me chuckle emuinception...
thanks for the suggestion, I will give it a try!

Trying to set it up, found this tutorial although it might perhaps be a bit outdated to:

"7) Change the "HD Controller" to IDE, 0"

In the current version of WinUAE it says IDE (Auto) and 0 can be set next to it, although when this is done and I start up the WB 3.1 install adf and start 'HD Toolbox' nothing is listed there. Any ideas?

[looren]

Silly me, completely missed the first line of the thread in the howto: Part 1 is not needed since QEMU PPC core was added

Im on part 2 now: 15) In "Floppy Drives" insert the Amiga OS 4.0 boot floppy into the drive.

I have the floppy disk, although I have no working floppy drive atm.
Where might I get the boot floppy as file? Searched on Google, but can not seem to find anything there.

[looren]

Was running 3.1, so I will give it a try

I had a loop at hyperions webpage under downloads, but no boot floppy there I am afraid..

JJ: Ah, thank you!

*booting* ^^

[looren]

So everything seems to be booting up nicely, albeit slow but I run in to some problems when partitioning the drive. I have the drive set up through WinUAE and it appears in the HD tool, and I can modify/save etc. Although in the last column it says 'Faulty RDB'. Not sure what this is or what to do about it. I have added a partition to the drive, but it does not appear when I run the installer.

JJ: By DOS type, you mean file system? I tried changing it, but it goes back to RDSK
Not sure what 'file handler' is?

kolla: I tried in FS-UAE again, changed to A1200 and loaded the 1200 rom and this seemed to work. Only used the CD iso and it booted form it, although then starting DOS i get error message:
C:BootLoader failed returncode 20

Any idea how to solve that?

[looren]

kolla: NVM my question. FS seems buggy. Now all of the sudden it gives me the same error as for A4000, even tho I never changed anything. Really odd.

[looren]

Err... remade the config, and it seems to work again although producing the same error message.

Regarding the A4000 config, it does not seem to matter if it is set to just "3.1 ROM" in the drop menu or if it is set to "3.1 ROM, CyberStorm PPC (Amiga OS 4.x)", still gives me the same Kickstart/rom error message. Not sure what rom it is referring to.

[looren]

Renamed? Iv got the picasso_iv_flash.rom (131kb)
Is this not correct?

[looren]

Aha, I see

Well, I tried setting it in the conf although it did not work:
cpuboard_flash_file = /home/looren/AmigaOS4.1/cyberstormppc_44.71.rom


Where should it be placed for UAE to find it by default?

[looren]

Well, that kind of worked better. It now loads as it supposed to, and does not fail with the bootloader error, but just after where it used to fail with bootloader the screen goes green and UAE says in the bottom left corner: ERROR LOADING QEMU-UAE PLUGIN

Looking at: http://fs-uae.net/plugins

Not sure how to compile it myself, so I guess its back to Wine+WinUAE
