Netsurf V3.0 Amiga release 2

[x303]

EDIT2: I've found a file called ixemul-62.1-m68k.lha. I've unpacked it, but can't install because it wants the files to go in a fictional GG: drive. :angry:

Just copy ixemul.library & ixnet.library to libs: manually.

Funny you say that, I've done some googling and got the answer that I should install GeekGadgets. Worth a shot anyway.

[wawrzon]

yeeah, x303 must be right, ive forgot, but its obviously included in netsurf archive.
have no probs to open http://amiga.sourceforge.net/ here anyway. (?)

edit: you dont need gg.

Installing geekgadgets is only for compiling (*nix) stuff, not for running netsurf.

Well fair enough. I moved the files like you said, now netsurf tells me : 68040 math emulation code not found.



and then I click "abort", and then it says:

need at least version 61 of ixemul.library.

Which it has. Because I put it there. In accordance with your instructions.


FINAL EDIT: I owe x303 a beer or two. I might also write a guide on getting this thing to work.

Which machine do you have in the first place ? Sounds like you don't have 68040.library in libs:

Winuae.

68040 with FPU and JIT turned on, AGA, 8mb fast + 128MB Z3 fast ram, 2mb chip, rom version 3.1 and 32mb RTG.

So i'm looking to copy a file from the OS3.9 disk or something?


EDIT: oh joy, it's not booting any more. Now it just sits at a black screen. Any ideas, or Should I just put it on the list of stuff I've failed to do, like find employment and learn guitar?


That guitar was expensive, too. Shame I'll take such a huge loss If I sell it.

EDIT2: deleted the files i copied out of the libs folder that came with netsurf. It actually boots now.

EDIT3: Installed 68040.library and rebooted. It had no effect.

Incase you were wondering, I also have a nice little window pop up afterwards saying "netsurf failed returncode 20"

[x303]

We're going off topic with winuae questions. PM sent.

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but could you please run FFplay_060fpu from the Aminet (with some random mpg and avi file) and see if MuRedox outputs any unsupported instructions?

Ran the latest aminet ffplay_060fpu, no hits whatsoever with muredox.

You need a 68040.library that is install from AOS.the one i have is from 1994 and 43.888 bytes in size.

but when you move files from a classic 68060 install you have a 68040.library that want load the 68060.library

if you want use that you can choose as CPU 68060 in winuae.then it should work as before.

but never switch on in winuae 68060 CPU if you have not the phase 5 or from somebody else 68040 and 68060 library install

also i think best is use 68040, if you notice any problems in winuae 060 mode.

I've got it working. I'm going to write a tutorial by the weekend, so others doing the same thing won't have as much trouble as me.

Here is a program that show what PixelModes your GFX Card support.seem not all Amiga GFX Card choose the in the CGX Manual suggestet RGB16 Pixelmode for screens.And when this is not done, data need convert and slow all down.

I change now in test SDL so it ask for a Pixelmode that the GFX Card support.This work ok with P96 and Voodoo 3.

maybe there is some common pixel Mode all GFX Cards support.The test can run from shell and check if a mode id is here for RGB16, RGB16PC and BGR16PC

winuae can support screens in RGB16 and RGB16PC when choose in Page expansions the mode all.

when use RGB16 also SDL games run 60% faster on winuae.

Here can download and should start from shell

http://www.daten-transport.de/?id=D2npn5h4tcyW

so please post values you get and the GFX Card you use.If you have CFX and P96 install and you are able to post both values, its also usefull to see what P96 and CFX do.

Try also the test 2* to see if the values are the same

The new version of NetSurf doesn't work for me.
I have set it to appear in its own screen and this works with version 1.3. In this one, it opens a black window in the WorkBench screen, the navigation bar appears very messed up after a couple of second and then it crashes.

Are you using the same settings that you were using for 1.3? I did clean install of 1.4 (ie haven't tweaked the settings at all) and 1.4 runs fine.

1.4 looks nicer in terms of GUI but I don't think its any faster in terms of page loading etc. t least not on my 060 A4000D.

 Yes.

I did clean install of 1.4 (ie haven't tweaked the settings at all) and 1.4 runs fine.

 I can't test this right now. I will ASAP and see what will happen.
