Warp Up And Power Up Problems

[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!

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!

@Mad-Matt,

I installed the InstallPPClib (from the frogger archive), just like you said and followed the instuctions you gave (BlizzKick, conig, etc). The situation is that some PUP stuff work and others dont, which is a little annoying, as the ones i want to work (PUP MAME) dont work!

@lempkee,

Sorry, i forgot what the error mesage was, but i click on that .elf icon and nothing happened. The screen just flashed (dark) and gave a message. Let you know. Also i will try out some other demos soon when i have the time.

Cheers!

@lempkee

The error message was "icon has no default tool" or something like that.

@lempkee,

I tried the walkir program but i had no luck. I tried it under shell but i got a flash screen and then a message saying "icon(s) have no default tool(s)". Any ideas why this happened or what it means? As i said earlier, i may give the other programs a go as well.

Cheers,

@lempkee

I have just downloaded some other demos from that site. So i'll try them out later and let you know what happened.

Thanks,

[CU_AMiGA]

Ahh! Mistake!

I was meant to say the error message was "file not executable", when started under shell! The former error message i said was when started from workbench! Silly me!

Let me translate it for you. ;-)
It tries to tell you "Your LoadSeq() patch is not working. Do something about it or use 'runelf'".

Thanks. But how can i solve this. I take it i type runelf under shell then.

@lempkee,

The demo now works. :-) I forgot to install the InstallPPCLib file. Also ADoom PPC now works but MAME pup still doesn't function correctly.

@lempkee,

I don't think my email will accept it cos i only have 6meg and have used 10% already. If its the one of aminet or triumph then i most likely already have it. Give me a link where you got it from as it would be easier. Can't wait till i get my Amiga on the 'net. No ####ty limitations!

Once you get blizzkick installed, install the BPPCFix module and any others you wish to utilise, you do not require the bppcfix040 module or require a seperate bppc fix command.  It is normal for blizzkick to reboot once its done its stuff.

Make sure the latest WarpOS5 is installed and in its settings set Terminator to "0" andenable "NOPatch".

Get the latest PUPEmu lib from link below and install it to libs.

you do not require the beta wos lib or the bppcfix command. I must stress again you must use latest WarpOS and not this beta lib for full working functionality.

In The frogger Archive (Or at least it used to be) theres a command called "InstallPPCLib" which you can put anywhere in your startup sequence and in my opinion is the best command of its type as other cause all sorts of weird troubles.

Hopefully the above has got you mostly sorted just keep posting if not

That is basically how you do it! Thats what i done, followed these instructions and i think i may have finally solved the problem! :-)

@lempkee,

Where did you get your MAME PUP from?

Another question:

Why are there 2 PPC Kernals? Why can't we just have Warp Up or Power Up, not both?

Because PowerUp is (was) supplied with phase5 PPC boards (the first PPC boards for Amiga), so it was the kernel for everyone to start with.

In a meanwhile H&P managed to create WarpOS, their own PPC kernel, which appeared to be better and more Amiga-like. But you have to download and install it first (and to disable embeded PowerUP with all the troubles you also had...). The last nail to PowerUP coffin gave ppcemu.library, which made possible to run PowerUP compilations under WarpOS.

Yeah but surely Power Up is better then Warp Up. Most of the stuff (3D) seems to run a bit faster and smoother (MAME, ADoom). Many people also prefer Power Up as well. Don't get me wrong, Warp Up is still good just not as good.

I am keepeing my system the way it is, Warp Up and Power Up emulation, cos most of the things i have installed make use of the Warp Up Kernal.

Would it have been possible to make the stuff that are Warp Up only onto Power Up, (Wipeout, Amidogs emulators, etc).

Bye!

[CU_AMiGA]

Yeah but why did Warp Up come out? Weren't everyone satisfied with Power Up? Also if Power Up had Power 3D (or equivalent to Warp 3D) then would it have been just as popular if battled face to face with Warp Up? And more importantly, ran the same stuff as Warp Up?

(edit)

Would it have been possible to run Warp Up emu under Power Up? :-)

@KennyR

Did these flame wars happen on these forums or elsewhere? Is it possible for me to still read them?!
