PPC and now what?

[ravnen]

Well I finaly got the tower and mediator for my a1200. And after strugeling with a cdrom drive (as always) I got everything installed. Very easy and finaly my a1200 got great graphics to.

Well, this machine is a blizzard ppc 040@25 and ppc @160.
I have never used it for anything, since it crashes after 20 minuttes when installed in the desktop cabinet (removing the trapdor extended this period a bit). Well in the tower it works very stable, but this is my first ppc enabled amiga.

So what now?

What is the difference between warpup and powerup?

I managed to get amigaamp to use a warpup mp3 decoder engine, but ahi does not work on ppc (just installed the ppc version on os3.9 cd).

What else can I do with a ppc?

Well, I use it, but at startup it nags about ppc.library existing, is it just to remove it from libs and it will stop bugging me?

Ahh, thanks, that explains a bit.

@derringer3

Thank you for this nice list. I'll play around with it tonight.

I have a defective one, will that help. hehe?

So the voodoo will not work?

So I have a bit of a problem with the warp3d demos.

My setup is as mentioned earlier: Blizppc 040 @ 25-ppc @ 166, mediator and voodoo 3.

The warptest program displays okay.
The gearsppc only gives me a grey screen (both on the voodoo and aga).
Gearsppc-window gives me a recoverable alert, and gives me a debug window.

Gears 68k gives me a flashing gray screen.
