1  Make sure you have the correct Warp3d files installed (download from this site for the BVision).

2  Make sure you have the correct CGX drivers and configuration (download from ame website)

3  Try all the different "gears" programs (68k, ppc, small, window, full-screen) - do any of them work?

4  Try running it in 16-bit (not 15-bit, 8-bit or 24-bit) mode - this SEEMS to be the most compatible with Warp3d in my limited experience.

I just have: OS3.9 bb2, CGX v4, CyberGL, Warp3d and mine works fine (in 16-bit 1024*768 screenmode).

Warp3d was written by Hyperion (iirc), whereas the Blizzard PPC accelerator was produced by Phase5/dce (depending on version).  
Phase 5 also commissioned the PowerUP OS supplement (ppc.library), and integrated cybergraphics RTG system into their firmware, which allows the Bvision to run "out of the box".
Chances are you are running WarpUP (written by Sam Jordan) adopted by H&P which runs at the exclusion of PowerUP, and possibly using the BPPCfix written by Harry Sintonen.

Confused?  Imagine how your confused your amiga is.

The fact that this tangle of patches, mutually exclusive OS patches, RTG systems and re-written and backward engineered drivers runs AT ALL is some minor miracle imho.

So no, Warp3d doesn't "just run" - it takes a bit of tweaking.   :-D

Soory, have been using WhichAmiga in the last couple of days to check my PPC was working, I think your name got stuck. :-)

Frank Willie was the BPPCfix author I believe (sorry Frank :-)).

BTW - I thought WhichAmiga needed ppc.library (or ppclibemu) to be active to detect  the PPC?  I have BPPCfix and WarpOS installed, with no ppc.library emulation, and WhichAmiga still seems to be detecting my PPC.  Did you fix this in later versions?

You probably have 1024*768 available in 8-bit, but not in 15, 16, or 24-bit.

Try running Prefs/cgxmode to set up additional screen resolutions.

the steps to setup from begining the bvppc card to show the resolution in screenmodes!thanks! :getmad:  :getmad:


Erm, not sure I understand, but once you have installed CGX, selecting BVision as your graphics card there should be a BVisionPPC file shown in devs/monitors.
Once you have rebooted the BVision screenmodes should be visible in prefs/screenmodes.
Any additional resolutions you set up using prefs/cgxmode will become visible in prefs/screenmode after rebooting.

look!i dont know if my ppc 603e had problem but if it is problem why some programs runs?like warpos? like warptest warp gears68k? warp engine shows  in 320x280 about 65 fps!it is ok?


Gears 68k only uses the 680x0 processor, and just tests your warp3d configuration.

Please run the following tests:

Gears 68K - runs on 680x0:
Does it run full screen?  
Does it run in a window?

Gears PPC - runs on 603e PPC processor:
Does it run full screen?
Does it run in a window?
