Morphos 1.4 for BPPC

[jj]

Some quick questions, if I can get it working on my setup

Is GOA part of this release or is it 2.0 only ?

what about other cooly stuff, tinygl and reggae etc ?

Basically does this version have warp3d and powerup support ?

comes as default

what about other cooly stuff, tinygl and reggae etc ?

Reggae has to be downloaded from Krashan's website. IIRC TinyGL is included as default, you can download 3d update if you are unsure.

Basically does this version have warp3d and powerup support ?

Of course. Both powerUp and WarpOS are suported. Warp3D wrapper works great too.

What gfx card do you have? If you use a virge/permedia2 you will have to install Warp3D as 3D part is not supported by TinyGL/Rave. If you have a Voodoo it should work without problems OOTB.

Previous attempts at installing morphos have never been good, never managed to get it working though I admit to not having a lot of patience.  I have got into the mindset of os should just install and work  :-D

I have A1200 3.1 roms, powerflyer gold Mk III, bpcc 040/25 175 603e, 64 mb ram, bvision, a few other bits

How do you think it run speed wise on my system ?

175MHz and 64 MB ram are enough for many things (but you better avoid to open many screens, reduce use of MUI textures and so on). I had a similar setup (had SCSI drives thoufg and my Blizzard ran at 200MHz) and it was convenient. The difference to the 68040/25 was huge - the JIT is more than twice as fast as the real 68040.
I once did a brief comparision of my setups:

Does WHDLoad work in MOS on the PUP?

[jj]

Good question, does it? I would suspect not, guessing you would have to run E-uae

Really on the JIT as well, so native 68k non hardware hitting apps will run faster than on  AOS. Intersting mr Bond

Well the real hardware is there... I assume the 68k JIT has full access to the address space and assuming it is privy to the amiga interupts... It should work...

Dang, I just noticed the MOS install requires a CD drive... Could someone image their HD with a MOS for BlizzPPC already installed, for me? Cheers :-)

Yes, but games dont work on AOS4 for classic either and the same is true

Then my guess is that interupts are not handled properly... Or maybe the lower 2meg is not mapped into the 68kJIT address space...

Bah! Where's Piru when you need him? ;-)

Where's Piru when you need him?

At work.

MorphOS wasn't designed to support the HW banging apps/games. This allowed some optimizations to be made.

Amazingly some stuff still works.

Touché

Yeah, I guess things can be made a lot faster when not worrying about chipset timing etc...

Any ideas how to install MOS without a CD drive?

@bloodline

Mount the ISO image rather than burning it on a disc?

For example http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/diskimage_device-os3

For this to work you need to do manual install though, but it should be possible if you know amigados a bit.

[bloodline]

Hmmm... Yeah...still seems like too much effort, can I install using UAE, or does it look for a BlizzPPC?

[jj]

You really do not have a cd-rom drive for your miggy ?

I have a couple spare you could have one for p&p.  god got so many even threw out a load with a load of old crts and old pcs systems i binned the other day .
