frank:if you get wos exceptions etc , beware! your ppc might be underpowered (too little +5v) ,this can be fixed by putting an cable from the psu directly onto the bppc.

a friend of mine discovered this 2 weeks or so ago, first we belived it was a faulty card but i tested it in my machine and all where OK!, then we suspected that it was his morthrboard, and then several people on irc + here on amiga.org helped me/him with suggesting the extra feed.

now it runs everything (and his setup was correctly configured from day 1 of)

anyway if its WOS with Pup emu you are talking about, well sadly there is a few things that will never work in Pup EMU.

If its Demos (scene etc) then check out my website with everydemo (ppc) released , sadly i havent had the time to update it etc but all the info on it should clearly tell if it work on PupEmu or not and with mediator.

opps 1 more thing,

Remeber that GFX Memory is LOW! when u are in PPC mode with Warp3d on a1200 , max is 8mb!! , if u got too little mem , then it will crash/give u grey screen etc.

download P96Avail and use that to guide u into the world of memory (gfx)

1 example , 1 screen 1024x768x16bitPc (which u should use (16bit PC) use about 2.0 meg of gfx ram, add 1-2 meg more for a normal "Centered" background picture.

Quake 2 (640x480x16) needs 5.2+ or more megs free to run properly!
