iff parse library issue
« on: October 09, 2017, 12:56:44 AM »
So I am trying to resurrect his A4000 bit by bit.
I have reinstalled the video toaster card that came with it and installed the software.
On reboot, I get the error requires iff parse library v39. After a few cancels in boots into lores mode ( I had it in interlaced). Go to screenmode to change , same error.

Video Toaster doesn't start either.

Have you tried installing the library it's asking for?

Google, man.

https://amiga.foul.fr/

Five different versions on that site.  Hopefully one will work for you.  Good luck!

I have no idea what all the garbled crap in my previous post is. Issues with Dolphin on this site.

Lately I have been using DuckDuck search,  too bad i guess.
Getting more garbled text here too, what gives?
Thanks

Test: euro sign gives:  %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!8364;
So some key combo causing problems?

iffparse.library v39 comes with Workbench 3.0.  If you have WB 3.0 or later installed you already have it.

This is a 3.0 system with same Rom.
Only got this error after installing Video Toaster software.
I will add the required library tonight and see.

Check you don't have any other versions of iffparse.library lying around.  If something else has a local copy of iffparse.library v37 and opens it before you start Video Toaster, the Toaster will only see v37 even if v39 is in libs:.

the link OldsMike posted worked well.
Had to copy version 39 to Libs and rename iffparse.library
Worked well.
Thanks for all the replies.

Found out after all that that the VideoToaster card isn't going to work out well . Still crashed on opening toaster software and the system expansion board really heated up.
