Voodoo3 card install problem help needed!

[Daniele]

I am trying to install t5he Vodoo3 card and the software and I am following the instrctions of the Mediator CD.

I downloaded Picasso96.lha from Aminet and installed it.
I have choosed Cybervision 64 3d like the instructions says.

Started again the installation of Picasso96 choosing "Update an installed Version" and selected "Monitorsetting" only but the program don't let me choose the frequency supported by my monitor like the instructions say.

then I have renamed CVision3d and CVision3d.info into Voodoo and Voodoo.info in DEVS:Monitors.

Then changend in the tool type window of Voodoo.icon BOARDTYPE = from CVision3d to Voodoo.

Then copied Voodoo.card driver to the Libs:Picasso96 drawer

Clicked the Voodoo icon (in Devs/Monitor drawer).

And now the point: I have to start Picasso96mode program  (in SYS:Prefs drawer) and select attach setting to board0: Voodoo and exit the program and save.

But on the menu of Picasso96mode I see attach setting to and above NO Board and if I try open and load voodoo nothing happens I cannot edit anything.

I have I always get the no modes message !!!!!!!

1) what can I do?

2) the instructions do not talk about the moment I have insert the cad and connect the VGA cable to the Voodoo board ( I tried to load the amiga with the cable connected to the voodoo but I only see black screen)

3) do you know where I can find a better explanation to install the Voodoo card?

Please help me

Many Thanks

@dbrads

the fact is that I am following the site you gave me
http://www.stom.co.uk/amiga-mediator/content/tutorials/p96mode/index.shtml

and I am at Starting out point where I need to find the voodoo card.So click and drag the 'create new' icon to the lister within the 'Settings' box. This will create a new entry called 'not attached : New Setting'.
Now  I need to 'attach' the graphics card to this setting. Click on the 'not attached : New Setting' entry to select it. Next I have use the Menus and go to the 'Attach Setting To' menu, and I should now see the voodoo card but when I go on the menu attach setting to I have:

                  NO BOARD

and I cannot go on.

What can I do to let show the Voodoo card?

@Amigaz

I have installed Picasso96 like you say and like it is stated on the doc file in the mediotor cd.So I installed the mediator files, installed Picasso96,reinstalled Picasso96 in update mode,rebooted and double clicked on voodoo found in devs/monitors but when I go in Picasso96Pref I can see only NO MODE and the voodoo card it's not recognized.

Please help me!!!!

@doctorq

the voodoo card is recognized by the PCIinfo in the CLI

the problem is now that is I click Voodoo in the Devs/Monitors it comes up unoble to open and before when this worked as I said before from de Picasso96Prefs I had NO MODE in the menu and could not let recognize the Voodoo card.

[Daniele]

After several attempts my configuration finally could see in Picasso96Mode on the Menu' attach setting to Board0 and I tried several configuration of resolution and tested it switching to the Voodoo VGA connection but when I saved the configuration and rebooted the Amiga I could only dispay the screen by RGB mode not the VGA. Why?

Now it happens that I could not see my Voodoo anymore by the Picasso96Mode and at the attach setting I have no board!!!  :-?

it's a real mess!

what can I do?

now I see in the Picasso96Mode in the settings Not attached - Village 31 and above some resolution but the Voodoo board is not seen and I cannot test beacuse the selection is not active.  :madashell:


Only one time I saw my card recognized and now I have NO BOARD. I am installing Picasso96 over and over again with no luck and now I am disappointed and wanna format everything or is there any workout for this?

[Daniele]

@Dwyloc

of course I have changed in the tool type of the voodoo.ico BROARDTYPE=Voodoo but When I open Picasso96Mode I have NO BOARD to attach.

it happened only one time that appeared BOARD0: Voodoo but then I have lost this configuration and when I tried to save the configuration and booting up my Miggy I could only see the screen under RGB not Voodoo VGA (Only Black screen).Then I lost this configuration and every time that I install again the whole stuff I am still having NO Board!!

So guys,

I formatted the Amiga again,installed OS 3.9 and Picasso96 following what rkauer told me and now when I go into Picasso96mode I can see Attached setting to Board0:Voodoo

and finally the Amiga can see the Voodoo card,

the I tested the resolution witching from RGB to the Voodoo VGA but when I saved the configuration and rebooted the Amiga I can only see the screen under RGB and NOT the VGA Voodoo card I have black screen!!!!  :-?

I had a guru after booting so I had to format my Amiga but the problem is that I formatting over and over again ,installing OS 3.9,installing Picasso96,update Picasso96 (Screenmodes)  but I always have Attach NO BOARD in the Picasso96Mode.

I am doing everything correctly but it won't work.

I have formatted 3 times utill now!

I install Picasso96 and choose CyberVision64/3d then in DEVS:Monitor I rename CVision3d and CVision3d.info into Voodoo and Voodoo.info.

Then I change the tool tipe window of Voodoo icon BOARDTYPE=Voodoo

Then Click to the Voodoo icon in Devs/Monitots (and sometimes the Amiga FREEZE ) then I reboot

Go to Picasso96mode in Prefs and see ATTACH TO NO BOARD.

In the mediator installation doc of the Voodoo at point 3) is written "Copy the enclosed Voodoo.card driver to the Libs:picasso96 drawer"

What do they mean wuth the term "ENCLOSED"

Do I need to get it from the Mediator CD?

But after installing the Picasso96 I already have a Voodoo.card driver in Libs:Picasso96 and the file located on the Mediator cd has the size smaller than the one I have in DH0:

Anyway I tried getting the Voodoo.card file from CD and not but I always have Attach TO NO BOARD in Picasso96Mode

and I am formatting a lot of times!!!!

Please help me!!!
