Shapeshifter config for Mac OS 8.1?

[motorollin]

Just an update:

Today I disabled my KickFlash, connected a hard disk to my A4000's IDE interface and installed 3.1 and CyberGraphX on it. I then ran ShapeShifter with the same configuration as before, but the same thing happened :-( So it doesn't appear to be a problem with 3.9. I still need to check my configuration against Seiya's.

A further update to my post above:

I have checked my ShapeShifter configuration against Seiya's and a couple of things were different, but nothing that looked significant. I changed it to match Seiya's configuration anyway and the same problem occurred. The second time I tried it I got a recoverable alert with error code "0100 000F". The machine then hung.

The only difference I can see (other than hardware) between my config and Seiya's is that I'm using CGX, not P96.

I'm using P96 and it doesn't work for me either. It does work with Fusion though but ShapeShifter is faster.

I guess it's because of some 060 (you use that don't you?) function. WinUAE doesn't have that problem (040 emu). Maybe you could try to disbale some features with the CPU060 command to see if that has any influence?

[motorollin]

Yes I'm using an 060. Maybe it is that. I still can't get Fusion to even start the emulation though. Maybe it's my KickFlash. Anyone know if RsrvCold or RsrvWarm can be put in the KickFlash?

Fusion gives me some troubles too. When it runs it runs fine but once it crashes (always during start of the emulation after I changed some config it doesn't like) I must turn off my machine to totally clear the memory for it to start again without crashing.

Fusion is a though $%^& to setup. You should check the memory settings first. It was very picky about that with me.

About rsrvcold/warm I don't even use those commands; 3.9 ROM should take care of that?...

Ahhh that's what I was thinking of when I asked if PrepareEmul is still necessary in 3.9. I'll check my Fusion config and try to get it to boot.

For Fusion I use the following memory options. They work with my config listed below.

Memory mapping: Normal

Kickstart Remap: Normal

[motorollin]

Gah, Fusion just opens a white screen with an Amiga pointer on it then hangs. My patience is exhausted now - I'll just use 8.0 on ShapeShifter :roll:

moto... try with these tooltypes: (required for 060)

(QUICKSTART)
(ENFORCER)
(DEBUG)
NOCOPYBACK       < IMPORTANT
720KKLUDGE
(REMAP8K)
(USKEYMAP)
(NOQDACCEL)

[motorollin]

Thanks Framiga, but my tooltypes are already set like that.

ah yes i have overlooked your 8.1 needs.

Have you got some previous macos running with the 060? or 8.1 is your first attempt?

[motorollin]

I know from previous experience that 8.0 works. Upgrading it to 8.1 breaks it in the same way that 8.1 is broken from the off.

time to run Enforcer and Sashimi then! (and SnoopDos to see what is happening)

Enable the ENFORCER tooltype also.

good luck!

[motorollin]

I have never used Enforcer before. Just downloaded it, and when I run it in a shell window I get a message saying "Enforcer is on the job", but then things start to hang (even Workbench) :-?

would it work if you just install 7.5.3 an upgrade gradually to 8.1, all done on an amiga ?

[motorollin]

Well upgrading from 8.0 to 8.1 doesn't work so I have no reason to think that 7.x to 8.0 to 8.1 would work, but I will try it.
