A few issues

[nicholas]

3.9 with boings 1 and 2 and amiga sys on top (this includes MCP but I've turned off all the patches except for the no drive click)

Format a fresh bootable partition and install 3.9 + BB1, BB2, BB3 and BB4.

http://lilliput.amiga-projects.net/bbag4.htm

Half the patches you have currently installed won't be needed after that.

Have you got the latest 060 libs installed too?

Hmm, OS 3.0 does not have a cd file system built into rom

Do you have 3.1 ROMs installed?

Not going to install BB3 and 4. Not sure if you saw a previous thread I started but one of them causes my OS to freeze when running some CD's

Haven't installed the latest 060 libs. I'll try them

Yes using 3.1 roms

That's most likely what is causing the problems.

2 -I have tried a few packages to put things into fast ram rather than chip however when I do this I get graphic corruptions. I also get lines across the screen when using fblit+wbctrl. Is this likely to be faulty ram or can using some patches together cause this problem?

Take a look at this guys experience http://steve.odyfamily.com/?p=10
I've tried it and so far so good. Thanks Mr Ody - who are you on Amiga.org?

EDIT: Well the page has gone but he said to put FBlit in WBStartup and remove it from startup-sequence.

[foleyjo]

Thanks for all that info guys.

When I next have an Amiga session I have lots to tinker with now.

I'll let you know the results and also if I find the answers to any of the other questions I'll let you know.

golem - That page is still there.

Arggggh heellllpp I just installed this and now I get a ramlib error when it does the setpatch line in startup-sequence
I didn't make a backup of the files before the install because I thought I would get a choice of which files to copy so I would be able to back them up as I went along but there was no expert install option.

Before this happened I played with Fblit and tried without all the other patches but still got the graphical errors. Putting it in WBStartup got rid of them but that's because it wasn't actually working anymore.
I now have it just before the loadwb line and it seems fine. Though I'm not 100% sure if its working with wbctrl (Was going to test but then got the ramlib error)

ABeeb works for BBC emulation but I havent worked out how to get the games on yet. Will do that soon.

Microcosm still not working even with Asimcdfs. I managed to get as far as the psygnosis logo. The problem appears to be the AKIKO chip(or lack of). I keep getting a hardware related error

[rvo_nl]

as for your last remark, the asimcdfs package comes with AKIKO emulation. apart from that, microcosm didnt really use the akiko chip.. please try booting without startup-sequence and manually doing all the work, coz thats what you'd have on cd32, too.

are you sure?  I tried every method I can think of to start it and the most I get is the psygnosis logo and then a grey screen.

Other times I get "Internal Hardware Error" message

If I find time I will try to run this game myself this weekend and let you know how

[foleyjo]

thanks.

[rvo_nl]

well, that wasnt too hard I just used Ide-Fix, I didnt know it had cd32 emulation built in. Just had to select the right device name, disabled fastmem, pressed start and voila, there it was. Microcosm, playable and all that. So I suggest you give Ide-Fix a try!

[foleyjo]

You sir are a genius.
I didn't look at IDE-Fix because I thought it was to do with IDE drives but that is the way to get this game working.

Thanks for the help
