Ken Lester is using one from a LC/Performa 575, but he's using UAE so it's effectively an 040. I wonder if it would work on a real Amiga with an 060?

have you some patch in startup-sequence o user-startup?

[motorollin]

Yes I have the following:

PrepareEmul
Setpatch NOROMUPDATE
VisualPrefs

and a few others, nothing too strange. However the same thing happened in a clean 3.1 install with no patches except PrepareEmul, and no software installed except CyberGraphX latest version.

Yeah I guess it's a 060 problem too. I tried to disable as much as possible with the cpu060 command but alas...

I guess you could use 8.0, but it really is frustrating, eh?

[motorollin]

I doubt there is a significant difference between 8.0 and 8.1. But yes it is frustrating and it has become personal now :lol:

Would ShapeShifter run 8.1 on an 030? If so I think I'll try putting my A4000's original 030 back in just to prove once and for all whether it's the CPU.

Officially 8.1 doesn't run on 030.

There are some workarounds though:

Had a look at that link and it made absolutely no sense to me. If anyone near Milton Keynes, England has a CS 040 board and want to help me get to the bottom of this, I'll make you a cuppa if you come round and let me test with your 040 :-)

maybe can be CyberGraphX..
With CGX you could use Fusion that with this graphic driver is much faster than Shape.

 if you have Cyberpatcher or Oxypatcher try to disable them

At least this is the last chance..

have you tried to run Basilisk II?

[motorollin]

Flashlab is using P96 and he has the same problem, so I don't think it's CGX. I tried Fusion but I can't get the emulation to run. I don't have Cyberpatcher or Oxypatcher installed. I did try Basilisk II but I had the same problem.

read this guide:

maybe it could help you or not..

[motorollin]

Thanks for the link. I did read all of that. I think I'll try a different ROM with Fusion as it says problems getting Fusion to start might mean an incompatible ROM.
