Warp Up And Power Up Problems

[CU_AMiGA]

Hello!

I own an Amiga 1200 with a Blizzard PPC 160/060@50mhz. Can anyone tell me how to set up Warp Up properly? Everytime i boot up and the Workbench screen comes up i get some stupid "termination" window. I know what this is about, Warp Up and Power Up running parrallel. I have heard of running Power Up emu under Warp Up (using BlizzFix), but how do you set it all up?

Hi everyone,

Many thanks for the replies and advice. Sorry, i forgot to mention that i have Amiga OS 3.9 and have a Blizzardvision with CybergrahX 4.2! I have also got Warp OS 4 and Warp 3D on that Wipeout 2097 CD, and i also have Warp OS 5 on Amiga OS 3.9.  I have already tried using BPPCfix, but i cant seem to get it right. (The line i use is: BPPCfix Install 040 Reboot - is this right?). And i also installed the ppc lib emu as well.

But when i do this, the termination window no longer appears, but i either get the Power Up stuff to work and not the Warp stuff, or i get the Warp stuff to work but not the Power Up stuff. (ie: i try to run Wipeout 2097, but a requester comes up saying 'unable to open file .tmg' or something.) And after that, the system grinds to a sniverling halt! Having said that, when i reinstall the Warp libs, without resetting, the Warp stuff and the Power Up stuff seem to work okay!

I have also tried the termination settings, but i dont really no what i am doing.

Well anyway, thats enough blabbering, i haven't yet tried BlizKick yet, so i will download that and have another bash!

Thanks!

Many thanks for the replies!
As i said, i will have a bash at it tonight and let you know how i get on. I will download the necessary files and that and follow the instructions.

Hi everyone, (again)

I had a go at it this morning, but again no luck. I have BlizzKick, PPClibs and BPPCFix, but i cant get them to work. (BPPCFix does reboot the machine though).

What instruction would i use for BlizzKick and BPPCFix? I currently use BPPCFix Install 040 Reboot, but i dont seem to get any success. Either one or the other works, but not both of the Warp and Power Up stuff. :-(

As for Warp Up, i have version 5 on Amiga OS 3.9 and Warp Up 4 on Wipeout CD, are they good enough, or are they considered as beta?

What about this update on Aminet:-

http://www.aminet.net/biz/haage/WarpUP_V51Upd.readme

My specs are:

Amiga 1200T
Blizzard PPC 160/060@50mhz
Blizzardvision
Amiga OS 3.9
3.1 ROM
128meg Fast Ram

I will have another go at it and see if i followed the instructions/advice correctly, but i am going through hell here!  :evil:

If WarpUP programs run without the termination requester, the first hurdle is taken.

Problem is though, that i can get that far, but Warp OS dont work properly, the ppc emu works perfectly.

ie: on Wipeout, the settings screen loads up but i cant get the screen settings to work/come up. But if i reinstall Warp without rebooting, it seems to work, - both of them!

Anyhow, i have now reinstalled Amiga OS 3.9, and am about install Warp os 5.1 update off aminet. But when the options come up:

Warp OS 5
Power Up compatible version 7

Which one of them should i choose?

sorry to say but it was the one thing that naffed me off with my miggy, the fact that the software upgrades seemed to just make it more and more unstable.

Agreed. If its one thing that will make me abandon ship and get an eMAC (not a bloody PC :-)  ), it would be because of that. Maybe i should have stuck with my Blizzard 1260 and AGA. lol

Just one more point, what modules would i put after BlizzKick and BPPCFix?

Well anway, i am armed with some good advice now, so i will have another few goes at it. Thanks lads! :-)

Ha! Ha! I will try out that line and see what happens!

(i messaged u earlier, didnt u get it?)

I did get your message, but it wasn't about the Blizzkick modules! (It was Warp!).

Well anyway, thanks again, i will try that and see the results!

Cheers!

I have installed BlizKick and put a line like this:-

Blizkick * EXTRESBUF=1225943 SpeedyIDE SpeedyChip romfixes NoClick FixGetMsg BPPCFix

On the startup-sequence, i put this just after the Setpatch SCSI part. The machine now boots up 3 times but on the 3rd time i get a window saying "Inuitation is attempting to reset workbench screen. Please close all windows except drawers."

And then nothing happens, nothing closes and no Workbench screen appears, apart from when i click cancel, and if i minimise the window. Oh yeah, the output on this bit is only on the native Amiga RTG output (before, you could see the results on both the Blizzardvision and RTG output, but then messes up.)

I have tried, putting the line in different places in the startup-sequence but no luck yet. Can anyone tell me if that is the right line or not for my machine (see earlier for Amiga spec). I get the impression that i am fairly close, so i will have another go at it and see the results.

Cheers.

Okay thanks. I will try that ASAP. I have an 060 system so i am okay on that. I think i am coming near to the end of this problem, well i hope so anyway. Let you know tomorrow people! :-)

[CU_AMiGA]

Good news guys! I think we have finally made progress! I followed the instructions and changed my startup-sequence.

Wipeout now runs without any problems. As for the Power Up stuff, i am not too sure, i had Amiga Amp running under Power Up and it was working fine, but when i tried MAME Power Up i got as far as the menu with the games, but when i tried running the game i got a Power Up exception screen or something.

I think someone said that Power Up emu is still quite incompatable, so i am guessing that i have cracked it and its the best you can do. Can someone confirm this?

[CU_AMiGA]

Hi,

Can someone please tell me if my sounds as if its running okay! It will put me out of my misery! :-)

Cheers!

[CU_AMiGA]

I have several versions of MAME already so i will try all of them or look for others. The reason why i used Amiga Amp in Power Up mode is cos i wanted to test to see if it worked okay. I now use it in Warp Up mode! :-)

[CU_AMiGA]

Hi,

Sorry to be a bother again guys but can someone please send me (email) a small program/demo for Power Up that they know that should certainly work under emu. I just want to be certain that i have everything up and is running A OK. I have got AmigaAmp PUP and Frodo PUP to work but MAME and ADoom PPC doesn't seem to work. If someone could finally put me out of my misery then i would be most gratefull.

Thanks.

[CU_AMiGA]

Many thanks for the file lempkee! :-) I will download it and try it out ASAP and let you know how i get on!

Cheers!

[CU_AMiGA]

Just an update. I couldn't get that file to work lempkee. But i will have a check on the website and download some more files to check whether or not my system is set up properly or not.

Also, concerning the Warp Up prefs, when you said set the termination settings to "0" i couldn't get this so i set it to "off". Is that right?

Cheers!
