WinUAE 1.1.1 randomly crashing

[realmadman]

Ok, it definately seems to me - in my case at least - to be related to the P96 emulation.  I tried renaming the rtg.library to rtg.library.old and copied across the one from amiga programs, and it was still fine, nice and stable, until I chose a P96 screenmode, then again, within 30 seconds, boom, dumped back to Windoze

I'll try renaming the current rtg.library to rtg.library.new and then rename rtg.library.old to rtg.library and see if that makes a difference, my bet is that it will, but instead of crashing WinUAE, it'll guru instead.

Finally, I now have a whole stack of winuae_2006#?.dmp files in my WinUAE directory, all just slightly over 1Mb in size, is there anyone I could send these to who might be able to work out what is going on?

I had the same problem with winUAE crashing all the time a few months back. Cant remember what I did to fix it though. although I think I ended moving the CPU Idle to the right a bit & disabling USB mode & now have no problems.

BTW im emulating 040 AGA 2MB Chip 8MB Fast 128MB Z3 32MB RTG. Runs 1200x800 32bit OS3.9 Workbench with Sound & everything :-D

Yeah, I have had that problem. I wish UAE was just a little bit clearer on what is not possible. For example, how much RAM do you need to stick your peecee with to use the leftover? I have 768MB RAM on my system, but I can only seem to utilize 8-32-32 (chip-z3fast-rtg).

Really, I think the problem amounts to incompatibility. I haven't had any problem after setting everything for hi-compatibility.

For example, I had no problems using Dave Haynie's DiskSalv4 -- but only after selecting the Quickstart A1200 4 meg configuration. I'm not too annoyed.

I couldn't get Colonization or Theme Park to play until I recovered an old 129 mb hard drive formatted for my A1200. I was amazed to be playing Colonization just a few days ago straight from my old hard drive (after I just changed its board I opened up access to data I thought I would never have enough money to afford, plus I got my 3.x Miami keyfile restored to me--and that means a lot, Amiga-wise!!)

I'm just annoyed that I can't use Miami on UAE!! And then, I have Genesis with OS3.9.

But yeah, UAE would just ignore you if you want to use any PC Hardware that isn't explicitly tweaked by Cloanto for 100% compatibility, but the vast majority of my problems with UAE I think have answers and can be addressed. Within Cloanto's definition of compatibility, I think we have 100%; but it's not the Amiga until it has her hardware base to choose from, and that's not going to be an internal PC modem or a PC-format hard drive, although Cloanto has evidently given users the ability to make use of hard drive functionality in-a-pinch.

MY big annoyance with UAE were that I can't seem to boot into my usual  configuration AND read an Amiga-formatted drive at the same time. Not yet, anyway...

Hi

Download some preinstalled workbench like Amigasys or Amikit. I have amigasys, and it is rock solid!

Also, do a clean install for WinUAE(use the zip version), pack it to a directory (d:Winuae/) and remember to put in the kickstart rom (3.1).

Now if you still have an unstable system, then I guess it is time to reinstall windoze...
