Which ClassicWB for me?

[mbob]

I just dusted off my Amiga 1200 and am resetting everything up.  It has an 040 accelerator and plenty of ram but stuck at stock 2MB Chip ram.  I will be using a PAL non-interlaced resolution.
 
 Which ClassicWB should I load, FULL, ADV, or ADVSP?  I am thinking Full but just double checking here.

[mbob]

Lol!
 
 I just don't know what I'm doing currently.  I am using Winuae to mount the ClassicWB system drive then copying it to a compact flash.  I got that working but absolutely will switch to something different.  Gotta search for some tutorials.

Looks easy enough, I will download the ADFs and use the VirtualFloppy program. Gotta watch my Rangers in game 7 first tonight!!!
 
 *Edit- duh I can set it all up in WinUAE and just copy it over....

[mbob]

Does anybody other than me just set up their Amiga on their Amiga? You know, use floppy disks and CD's?

I would but I'm really green with how to work things since I do not have floppies outside of workbench.  I need to figure out how to get ADF's over so transporting a winuae build seems like the easiest way.

Dan - I never worked with ADF images before. I can copy them over no problem as I have a PCMCIA CF card I use. I had the BetterWB up and running and backed it up. I'm now in process of setting up ClassicWB Full as it gives me a nice head start with preloaded apps.

I did have fun creating a custom boot disk that loads the pcmcia drivers and popped my old favorite disk master on it so I can easily switch things around now.

I preferred the BetterWB and rolled back after I couldn't get igame / whdload working with any games on ClassicWB. But after installing WHDLoad in BetterWB I couldn't get anything working there either so back to the drawing boards and reading. This should be easier....

@mbob - Wait what? Did you put the kickstart images in the correct location (Devs:Kickstarts/)?

Sure did, and even reformatted my system to ensure the CF card transfer was set to 0x1FE00

It crashes to GURU.  I am playing around with it working in WinUAE so I may have a compatibility issue with my Falcon 040 accelerator.

[mbob]

Games play just fine from disk but no matter what I do WHDLoad crashes.  I run Memtest in workbench and it spits out error after error so there must be something up with the 040 board.

[mbob]

Do you have a correct 68040.library in your LIBS: ?

The Commodore 68040.library will work fine and was supplied on the Workbench Install Disk IIRC.

It is there and I tried using the falcon's custom install disk which may patch it as well.

[mbob]

I think this Memtest failure is pretty key to this.

Have you tried booting with no startup-sequence from a cold boot, and then running Memtest?

My bad, the memtest tool was for a 680000 or 020.  I can't seem to find a 040 test tool.

[mbob]

Scratch that, its the memory.  32MB stick and copying files to RAM: always crashes around 16MB.  I will need to research and see if I can find a dimm for this board.

Trying this FalconPatch now: http://se.aminet.net/util/sys/FalconPatch.readme

This gave some different errors with WHDLoad getting devs:kickstarter/kick errors.
 
 It also did not fix the system crashing when ram reaches around 16GB (half).  So I guess I need to start hunting down some ram for it.

I just grabbed one of these:

And am crossing my fingers this is the fix to all my problems. I also dug a post I made when I bought this 1200/040 in 2011 where I seemed to have traced this to the memory then. I did buy a SIMM back then but it wasn't good. This one is advertised for an 040 so wish me luck.
