a4000 csppc EXCEPTION ERROR ON RAMLIB_PPC WHEN OPENS WARD3D APSS!!!HELP!!! PROBLEM SOLVED!!

Hi!

there's a warpOS library for OS4... and MorphOS also runs Warp3D apps :-)

Anyway, if you insist on using OS3+WarpOS check out in WarpOS preferences that the gfx card base memory is correctly set up. There are also some flags that may affect 3D apps like "terminator" and othes but it's been a long time since I used WarpOS... I advice you installing both MorphOS and OS4 to be able to run everything :-D

Hi! I wouldn't delete your OS3.9 partition! There's software that won't run on OS4/MOS like Demos or old apps. But I keep it with low priority and always boot from OS4 or MOS.

You won't save much space deleting your OS3.9 partition and if your PPC chip dies you will suffer even more because you'll have to reinstall everything again.

@tolishot

follow Piru's advice ;-)

And yes, Warp3D and WarpOS work together.

@tolishot

perhaps you should try the games on MorphOS... some of them will run better than under OS3.9 :-)

I wrote this for a friend although it's not 100% right, I'm open to corrections ;-)

*HOW TO INSTALL MORPHOS IN YOUR PPC CLASSIC MIGGY*
Updated by Crumb on 29/05/2008

Download latest version from:
http://powerup.morphos-team.net/

points to keep in mind:
-create the partition in the first 4GB of the HD
-it's better to format the partition with FFS from AmigaOS3.1 or even
better,use Aminet's SFS. Don't use Jörg Strohmayer's SFS. It could
work with OS3.5/OS3.9 FFS but it could cause problems.
-Unpack the ISO in that partition. If you burn the CD using peecee
software be careful with filename length and executable attributes.
-Check out that all monitors located in devs/monitors have set the
"executable" flag. You can set it using icon information.
-Download the kickstart modules for paula sound and floppy disk from
the following address:
http://skolman-mws.w.interia.pl/mos/extmodules.lha
if you can't access those modules you can extract the modules by
yourself from your ROM3.1 (not an A500/A2000 one!) using the programs
Luciferin or REMUS.
-Copy the modules to boot/extmodules
-NEVER user ED nor MEmacs nor Notepad to edit MorphOS PowerUp
startup-sequence. Use CygnusED, GoldED or any editor that doesn't
trunk line length to 255 characters
-Modify your Startup-sequence and be careful with the following lines:
*Don't use real kickstart as it's useless because you only would like
to use disk drive and paula audio modules (and these modules are
already located at your extmodules directory). You must have this line
active:
set kickstart "nokickstart"
*The booting device should include the text
"bootdevice=yourpartition". I can't remember if it's mandatory to
include the two points at the end of the device name. E.g.:
set bootdevice "bootdevice=MorphOS-HD"
*You must set the resetlevel of your machine correctly. If it doesn't
boot with default resetlevel try values 3 for BlizzardPPC or 5 if you
own a CyberstormPPC. If it doesn't work try with higher ones.
*You will have to change last line so it references
"module1.rom.idehack" instead of "module1.rom". Of course, you could
also rename the files inside the boot directory so you don't have to
change the startup-sequence line.

-If you have some MAPROM options enabled MorphOS may not boot. If you
have problems you can try to disable MAPROM and special options.

CVPPC works out of the box :-) You don't need to install any lib because PowerUp/WarpOS compatibility is built in. If you had a Voodoo3 you would even have Rave/Warpd3d support built in but Permedia2 3D part is not supported so you need to download Warp3D from here:http://aminet.net/package/driver/video/Warp3D-4.2a

MorphOS includes native PPC drivers for the CSPPC UWSCSI controller, motherboard IDE controller, and A4000T scsi controller.

You can use your AmigaOS3.x drivers for example network drivers directly (well, xsurf works better if you use a patched AriadneII device, just like on OS4).

If you use a sound card you would only have to install the m68k driver, the rest of the AHI system is PPC native.

@JJ

MakeCD should toast it correctly :-)

If you use a PC I think WinRAR will unpack the files correctly but I'm not sure about the burning options. Use a CDRW so you can toast it again if you find out file attributes are not OK.
