NetSurf-m68k
« on: July 17, 2014, 09:16:52 AM »
Yesterday I downloaded NetSurf-m68k from
http://aminet.net/package/comm/www/NetSurf-m68k
and installed it on my system to give it a try.

But I cannot start it - after double-clicking the icon it loads for a while. Then - all of a sudden - my Miggy crashes and reboots.

I also tried it with SnoopDOS running - but I cannot look fast enough to see what the last action was and why it failed when the system crashes.  

My system:
A4000 with CSPPC 128mB; Mediator & Voodoo4 PCI, Terratec 512i digital PCI and 10/100 mBit PCI NIC; Deneb USB 2.0 (Zorro III); OS 3.9 w. BBs 1 & 2 / WarpOS 16.1

Does anyone here have an idea what could be going wrong there?
All the best,

Dandy

Did the older version work?

I am running Netsurf using WinUAE, and it works fine there.



It was the first time that I tried to test Netsurf - never had it installed before.
All the best,

First of all the last version of bernds ixemul library. Dunno if its included. Should be something like v 63.1. Google it. Amigasf oder so.
Then snoopdos can save a log or output to serial. OPtion is in front of you. If you fear to corrupt the filesystem while crash install rad and save the log there.
Could be also stack issue. Especially runing afa. Check tooltypes or set high stack when running from shell.
Sorry im on a mobile.



I'll look into that tonight.
All the best,

Dandy

Btw questions like that are best asked on eab.  There is a netsurf thread and Arti visits there as well. Developers and more experienced users are not frequenting awnet or here.



Yes - Artur sent me the latest version via mail. I'm going to try this one this weekend...

Great. Asking on awnet is useless as you see. But the aminet version should work too. I dont even think the screen depth plays a role. I think its stack as i didnt have such issue even on aros68k last week.



Artur told me the aminet version has problems with Voodoo graphic cards. The latest version he sent me is said to work fine with a Voodoo3.
I hope it also works with my Voodoo4.
I also discovered new drivers for the Mediator and Voodoo4/5 - perhaps that can also help...

Artis netsurf may be not an ultimate piece of programing art but its not so buggy and worthless as some like to claim



That's why I want to geet it running. This way I can see myself how useful NetSurf is on my 68060@50 mHz...once I get it to start...
All the best,

Dandy

Where can I get the latest version? I googled it, but all I found was version 48.0 on Aminet - uploaded by a Benjamin_Niemann on 1999-10-14.

EDIT:
The version of the ixemul.library installed on my system is 63.1.

You may lacking AfA OS.
I`ve installed it for the first time a while ago, in order to run NetSurf 68K.



Tell me more, Cheech!
