Whdload games not working.

[bbond007]

I have the worst expansion card in the world I know, it is an Apollo 1240 which is equal to 68030 with 16 MB of Fast RAM. I do not know what to do in terms of getting the games working in my A1200. My A1200 is PAL version by the way, any help would be greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Try and make sure you have the best 68040 library installed for your card. I really don't know what you need for a Apollo.

I can't recall one whdload that that worked on my 030 that quit when I upgraded to 060. When one does not work the usual suspect is Subway or Miami.

I don't believe you that the Apollo is that bad. I heard they don't have the same build quality as some of the others, but if anything I have read they are faster. If you insists it runs like an 030 I'll by happy trade you one of my spare 030 40mhz boards.

It has to do with hardware interrupts. USB and network cards send them out and the custom hardware-banging nature of WHDLoad can't handle them. Just take Poseidon and your TCP/IP stack offline before running something in WHDLoad. If I'm not mistaken, the current WHDLoad includes scripts to do just that automatically when you start a game, and to bring them back online when the game quits.

Make sure those scripts are enabled in S:WHDLoad.prefs (and make sure you have them and that the right commands are in them!).

I created icons to start and stop Poseidon. I don't even boot with it enabled. Why have my 060 run 15% slower if i don't need to access USB..

I just wanted to clarify something to you, do not be fooled by the actual name of the card. This is one card that does not follow the conventional name. It is ACTUALLY a 68030 card, not a 68040 card.

That's not a bad card I don't think. I know I had a DKB cobra and it was OK. I don't know why you call it an Apollo though...
