Slowdowns and problems when playing SID's on the A1200
« on: August 09, 2010, 12:07:00 AM »
Allright, I stumbled upon crazy problem today.

Been using my A1200 with Apollo1260 all day. Decided to copy over some new SID files and they played perfect in Hippo-/Deli-/Eagle player (the old tunes played well yesterday too). Played some Pinball Fantasies, did not do well on Party land. Played around on the WB, installed AHI to be able to play MP3's from Amigaamp, went out for a walk.

Came home again, time for some wicked tunes from the 80'ies in C64 SID format, wtf, computer slows down to halt whenever I play SID-file now, mouse stop working but Amiga does not crash, it still playes the tune (BUT in slowmotion) and displays output on the monitor (but screen is frozen). And it only happens with SID files, modules work as usual.

Tried to disable MCP, problem remains. Disabled AHI by removing files from devs:, problem remains, anyone know the issue?! First time it has happened in 20 years of Amigaism :)

My system is still fresh sort of, WB 3.1 with MCP/AHI/MUI and nothing more basically.

I need to check specifically which version it is, but AHI got a lot more CPU hungry after version 4.x. So much so, that I've never upgraded it on any of my classic machines past that version (although using up to date versions in UAE).
