Title: SavagePPC for ShapeShifter not working
Post by: Bamiga2002 on February 06, 2012, 12:49:21 PM

Found the regged version of SavagePPC video driver for ShapeShifter (i'm using the latest 3.11) and tried to test it , but it only gives me white screen. No MacOS startup screen at all, just white display. Tried using both versions, with VBLANK and without, 8bit 640x480 with MMU refresh off when trying VBLANK version. Has someone got this driver working?

did you try to hold the shift key to disable the extensions during MacOS bootup ?

Nope didn't work :/. Maybe I forget this Savage shi*t and stick with CardTrickEVD it seems to be quite fast :).

I already have one :), Mediator + Voodoo3. I'm using a Picasso96-screenmode.

The Fastest driver for native Amiga-chipset with PPC board

Why do you think this could work with a gfx card? It clearly says it's for the native Amiga chipset.

After fiddling around with this it's clear I don't need it. Not stable with latest 3.11 ShapeShifter, must use interlaced Amiga screen etc. better stick with CardTrickEVD.
