#### Fusion!!
« on: October 17, 2003, 12:04:39 AM »
Crashed immediately upon starting the emulation and now my DH2 is considered a write off and DH1 is full of checksum errors. Fusion itself is on DH2. Nothing I can do now except reformat and restore from backup. Grrrrrrrr!  :-x

Anyone else have any problems similar or know of a better solution?

Ironically, ShapeShifter worked perfectly with the same settings.

I'd actually had it installed before, but never rebuilt the Mac partition after I bought a new hard drive.

It's bombed out on me before without trashing drives...

Nope. The partition was not mounted on the Amiga side. Good thing the Workbench partition wasn't damaged, or I'd have a useless hulk under my desk.

Lesson to all: Back up your stuff.

In my previous incarnation of Mac emulation, I had both ShapeShifter and Fusion working flawlessly. I used Fusion because it was faster. I also used to have the Mac drive permanently mounted Via CrossMAC. I didn't do that this time. After a crash then, I'd get a CrossMAC error message about invalidation but a soft reset would clear that right up. Maybe CrossMAC serves as a sort of buffer? I'd look into it, but ####! The files are on my trashed DH2!

This time, I had just gotten MacOS reinstalled under ShapeShifter when I decided to switch over to Fusion for speed. Big mistake. Yes, the Mac partition is above 4Gb, but it also was before. And I'm running 3.9. Go figure.

@ Lempkee: What video driver are you using for speed in ShapeShifter? Built-in CGX is pretty weak...
