Title: WarpOS prefs
Post by: Amigaz on June 19, 2005, 09:50:50 AM

I want to make sure I'm using the right settings on my OS3.9 system with CS PPC so I'm asking kindly if anyone please can post their Warp OS prefs so I know I have the right settings.
And if there's anything I should change in Warp3d, haven't had any major crashes in games except in 2 in Freespace & Quake II but just during loading of levels.

My setup:

OS3.9, latest WarpOS
CS PPC
Voodoo 5500 gfx card, Mediator 4000 PCI busboard

hmmm..

This is what I have now:

Memory protection= unchecked
No PPC= unchecked
Early term= unchecked
Terminator= off
Don't show warning= unchecked
No Program fix= unchecked

is the video adress I should fill in here the start at memspace 0 shown in PCIINFO?

Memspace 0 $64000000 - 67ffffff
Memspace 1 $68000000 - 6fffffff

No Program fix= CHECKED

About Voodoo gfx address, no idea.

Do you have problems with Warp3D demos/Games?

Thanks

No problems during play it's just that Freespace crashes and reebots my computer during loading of a new level, Quake II sometimes freezes when I load a saved game, Nightlong's colours are weird..looks like 32 colours..lol..same with some other games.

i've noticed a color reduction in Nightlong me too (above all on the intros).

I'm not a gamer at all . . . tryed to run it just for curiosity and under CVPPC (both RTGMaster 15-16bit)

Any suggestion? or its normal?

Depends what the original colour format is and how it is converted to display on your 15/16 bit display.

A 256 colour image (from 18 or 25 bit palette), badly converted (ie no dithering) can look worse in 15/16 bit RGB due to the loss of gun precision.

Edit: is this perhaps the same as 'NoPatch'?
