How to get AROS m68k to run?
« on: April 19, 2011, 02:35:35 AM »
I tried AROS m68k in e-uae-0.8.29.w4_5 and uae-0.8.29_1 and it will only show a black screen with 2M chip + 1M fast. In all combinations of 68000/68060, ECS, AGA, A500, A1200 etc.. While both kickstart 1.3 (512k) and 3.5 (512k) works without any problems.

So what to do, to get AROS-m68k running?

I tried a KS1.3 from some site. Anyway it should show the "insert disc" image without a disc.

fishy_fiz, What is the magical difference in the WinUAE update that makes it work?

(or what makes the current ROM so troublesome?)

Seems the emulator (uae) get's stuck at this:
F812A0 MOVE.W $00DFF018,D0
F812A6 BTST.L #$000D,D0
F812AA BEQ.B #$FFFFFFF4 == 00F812A0 (TRUE)
F812A0 MOVE.W $00DFF018,D0
etc..

What's at $00DFF018 ?, SERDATR ?

I checked the kickstart 1.3 file. And it's duplicated 2x. :)

As for the AROS-68k it consists of two files rom + ext. And the emulator only loads one. So I assumed it has to be loaded in one contiguous file. Ie "cat rom.bin ext.bin > emu.rom".

Seems $00DFF018 really is SERDATR and thus it waits for the serial receive buffer to become 0xD .. doh..

The UAE debugger also misses intuitive help text ...gah

If I put NOP (0x4E71) into fileposition 0x12AA (F812AA) then uae at least starts to show lightgrey. So it's not completly fucked ;)
