WHDLoad and E-Matrix 68030 40Mhz
« on: May 19, 2010, 07:03:45 AM »
I installed my E-Matrix 68030 40Mhz from Amigakit today and I set up work bench in WinUAE directly to the CF card I use with my 1200 as the hard drive.

Everything was running smooth as could be on WinUAE, but when ever I try to load a WHDLoad game on the real Amiga, I get a ton of garbage on the screen and have to reboot.

Nothing works.

BTW I do not have Math Co-Processor yet.

450 Watt ATX Power Pack

030 and Memory arrived from AmigaKit today. (Brand new)

I do have the Work Bench 3.1 Floppies and am running 3.1 with MagellanII

Minimal Display so I still have the majority of my Chip RAM left to spare.

I am using the latest WHDload.

Will try this after I watch the season final of V. :)

Replaced files in C and S and still the same thing. Digital garbage on my screen, or a black screen, or a black screen that eventually reboots, or a black screen that eventually goes to a RED ERROR screen and then reboots.

Formatted Boot Partition, installed OS 3.9 this time. Updated the the latest WHDLoad and...

...well now I can sometimes see Company or Game Logo screen then back to the usual errors.

I don't think WHDLoad likes these E-Matrix cards AT ALL!

@tone007 I'm on a PAL system (I thought ahead when I made this purchase). :)

@Cammy, No, I'm not registered, but intend to as soon as I see this working.

I did try to install a game by hand rather than using one of those pre-made HDF packages and I got a "line error" something or other error.

Gotta head back to work, but will elaborate on this later, gotta run! Thankx!

Here's an error I produced with Kid Chaos:

error in os emulation module subsystem: dos.library error number: $FFFFFF6A#=150.

Also, as fate would have it, ADOOM says this:

adoom program failed (error #00000004) wait for disk activity to finish

Might it have something to do with my Sansdisk CF card or the CFtoIDE adapter?

Hmm, now I'm just getting a different error each time.

Not unlike this thread:

0x1FE00 did the trick it seems!

I've only tested Aladdin so far, but the results are good! Now to install and test Ultima VI.

I had a funny feeling it was something to do with the CF card.

Thankx again community nerds! ;)

Alright, now I need this to stop working so I can do something productive today besides play old video games! :)

As an extra bonus, it seems a few games support both buttons of my Master System controller as well!

@Cammy: SURE! Do I get paid with more photos?! ;)

Seriously though, I'll be tinkering around with WHDLoad for some time, so I'll happily take notes and share them.

Thankx again to all for the help! I'm very elated that this is at last working!

Here's my (short) list thus far.

Please keep in mind that I am using an unmodified Sega Master System control pad.

I will modify a Sega Genesis controller later on, once it has arrived in the mail for three, and perhaps six button testing, assuming I can find instructions for the latter hack.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aladdin AGA: - Both buttons work and are assignable within the options menu.

Damage - Button 1 = Attack. Button 2 = Select Weapon/Scroll Dialog.

Great Gianna Sisters - Button 1 is fire. Button 2 is Jump (PERFECT AT LAST!!!)

Lion Heart - DO NOT select TWO BUTTON option under OPTIONS. This will cause both Jump and Attack to be assigned to Button 1 on the SMS Controller.

McDonald Land - Nothing. :(

AmiMasterGear - While not WHDLoad related, it does support both SMS buttons as it should and runs quite well on a 40Mhz 030 I might add.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There has been talk of an Amiga Wiki. This is the sort of information that needs to be in there, amongst other things.
