Post by: kas1e on May 29, 2003, 11:54:29 PM

hi ppl. i have strange trouble on voodoo3/mediator.
some time after i have 3.1 os, and see some PPC demos perfectly (mad-wizards for example). Now i use os3.9, all good but all  this demos, after loading/unpacking - have black screen and nothink else. music play, ctrl+m said - all good, but screen is black ;).

So maybe who now what the #### ? where im sucking ?  of course i use last drivers from elbox, and have in env mediator/powerpc directory .. but maybe who have this bug/problem and solve ?

any help, or present way - will be good.

thanks all and sorry for bad english.

Mediator drivers use P96.

Hi i have exact the same problems with my A4000 CSPPC 060/50&604e 233 in a mirage pro tower with voodoo 3 3000 and the only things i can blame are incompatibility between p96&cgx and/or bad drivers for the voodoo card (my 4000 also hangs a lot when using W3D)

On the other hand my A1200 with blizz PPC runs under CGX 4.x with a Bvision and everything runs perfect so i would suggest to buy a second hand CV PPC coz that's what i did.

Silly question, but are you sure the affected Demos are RTG? It might be that while they use PPC, they don't support RTG, and instead of displaying on the Voodoo3, they're displaying on Amiga's video out.

Just a thought...

if interesting - i solve this problem. troubles in 'amidock'
apps. i don't know - madwazards have hands in ass or
aos3.9 writers , but - if remove 'amidock' - demos work fine , if not = black screen ;)
