RemAPollo doesn't work
« on: August 30, 2009, 06:43:11 PM »
I tried to use RemAPollo to remap my ROM to fastmem so it could be patched for PowerWindows-NG, on an Apollo 1240/33 with 16MB RAM, 3.0 roms/3.1 WB and the following startup-sequence start:

DRAP
IF WARN
remapollo QUIET
END IF
setpatch QUIET

(with DRAP and remapollo in C)

AmigaOS booted but froze as soon as I tried to access any drive. Does anyone know what's causing this?

Thanks, Matt

Sorry to bump an old thread here, but I currently find myself with a similar problem:

Apollo 1240/40/16MB, 3.0 ROMS, Workbench3.1 (clean install)

After unpacking the RemAPollo.lha archive, I think I should be able to just click the "RemAPollo" icon to get my 3.0 kickstart copied and re-kicked from fastram. But it doesn't work, after it automatically reboots I just get a black screen, and no amount of resets help. Can't even get into "Amiga Early Startup Control". Soon after caps lock becomes unresponsive too.
What I wanted to do was use my 3.1 ROM image, but alas, same problem here...reboots with a black screen.

Maybe it's the 3.0 ROM/3.1 WB configuration like me and hayashi have that throws remapollo off?  Mind you, that's half of the whole purpose of RemAPollo right? So maybe not...
Am I missing something obvious here?
Thanks in advance...

Firstly EndIf is all one word.

My startup-sequence has:
Code: [Select]
DRAP
IF WARN
remapollo MAC QUIET
ENDIF

IF Exists C:IDEFIX
  C:IDEFIX reboot quiet
EndIf

C:SetPatch QUIET SKIPROMUPDATES scsi.device

Works great on my Apollo 1260

Have you remembered to patch 68040.library? I don't think RemApollo will work without this being done, and if this is the case you can find a tool and instuctions for this in the RemApollo archive.
But have in mind that the patched 68040.library may not work properly without using RemApollo, so it may be a good idea to keep a backup of the original file.

Yes, I did patch the 68040.library.  I kept a backup as well. :)
Any other ideas?

Anyone?  Maybe it doesn't like my motherboard revision (1A)?  Maybe hayashi had a 1A as well.
