WHDLoad and E-Matrix 68030 40Mhz

[XDelusion]

I installed my E-Matrix 68030 40Mhz from Amigakit today and I set up work bench in WinUAE directly to the CF card I use with my 1200 as the hard drive.

Everything was running smooth as could be on WinUAE, but when ever I try to load a WHDLoad game on the real Amiga, I get a ton of garbage on the screen and have to reboot.

Nothing works.

BTW I do not have Math Co-Processor yet.

Math's co-pro has nothing to do with it (eg 99.99% of games won't even use it).

Two most obvious problems are power supply and memory corruption.

What OS is it?

Have you got the 3.1 boot floppy?

450 Watt ATX Power Pack

030 and Memory arrived from AmigaKit today. (Brand new)

I do have the Work Bench 3.1 Floppies and am running 3.1 with MagellanII

Minimal Display so I still have the majority of my Chip RAM left to spare.

ok, try downloading a memory checker from AmiNet and run it against your new card.

Do ematrix and or 030 have timing problems that needs mods to certain a1200 mobo revisions ?

You need to update WHDload to the latest beta, to fix a specific bug with your accelerator card and WHDload.

Replaced files in C and S and still the same thing. Digital garbage on my screen, or a black screen, or a black screen that eventually reboots, or a black screen that eventually goes to a RED ERROR screen and then reboots.

Formatted Boot Partition, installed OS 3.9 this time. Updated the the latest WHDLoad and...

...well now I can sometimes see Company or Game Logo screen then back to the usual errors.

I don't think WHDLoad likes these E-Matrix cards AT ALL!

Is your 1200 a PAL unit?  Many games won't run in NTSC mode.

On bootup, you can pick PAL mode from the early startup menu by holding both mouse buttons while powering up.  Give that a shot and then hit one of the WHDLoad games.

(You'll need a 50hz capable display.)

Have you got a WHDLoad keyfile? If so, try deleting it or moving it to a temporary directory and try again with the same games, see if they load.
