Voodoo + Picasso96 + WHDLoad

[Lurch]

Has anyone managed to get this working?

Ive read a few howtos but still end up with either a black screen or garbled graphics in WHDLoad.

If I switch back to an AGA display mode everything is fine. This is with the Voodoo card still installed.

Ive tried different versions of Picasso and have tried changing the tool types for the voodoo.

Ive set it to Voodoo init no, but all this does is slow scrolling and locks up WHDLoad before it even gets to switching to AGA.

Ive tried setting the voodoo to 8MB and no MMU still the samething.

I have pci.library version 10 installed for the Mediator.

Everything else seems fine, Workbench looks great :-) But WHDLoad refuses to play along.

Will start on trying switches under whdload.prefs next :-/

I checked this morning Agony with WHDLoad v17.0 and all is fine...

Here my configuration : http://warpclassic68k.blogspot.fr/p/ma-config.html

I gues you have tried picsso96c?

@ Cosmos - Have a very similar setup to you, can I ask what your command line looks like for remapollo?

@ Kawazu - Yes have tried that, same result. Although after changing the tooltypes to the same as Cosmos sometimes I get whdload freezing just before the splash screen or the RTG display remains active but the cursor disappears so I switch to the AGA output and the graphics is just a garbled mess most games allow me to quit some lockup the keyboard.

Have reinstalled picasso a few times LOL.

Might also go through what I have in WBStartup/startup-sequence/user-startup.

I don't have experience with this particular config, but some other observations I've noted over the years:

Your USB and/or network stacks need to be disabled for WHDLoad. The hardware interrupts they generate cause a conflict. You can set them to automatically turn off (and restart when quitting WHDLoad) in S:WHDLoad.prefs

With CyberGraphX, there's a setting to always enable 56KHz audio modes. I've found that this causes *huge* problems with native screens, especially with WHDLoad. If P96 has something similar, try disabling it.

USB - Removed from startup-sequence, user-startup.

TCP/IP - Using Miami, so only loads when I use the Miami GUI.

If I switch Workbench to an AGA mode WHDLoad works fine, so it has to be Picasso96.

I've tried older/newer versions of Picasso96 and WHDLoad, still get the blank/black screen.

Other AGA games/demos that don't use WHDLoad work fine. Other RTG games work fine.

Also my WHDLoad I've registered so it's a legit key.

So my workaround is to switch Workbench to AGA and then run WHDLoad.

Annoying.

So ran snoopdos and I noticed these two items :

ramlib Load LIBS:powerpc.library FAIL

So I don't have a powerpc and the library isn't installed.



igame ToolType SLAVE Fail

This above error gives me the impression it can't find it, so going to try running straight from the game.

[Lurch]

Well it's not igame, and the games run fine if I switch to AGA.

But running the game outside of igame I also get tooltype fails, and some games garbled sound aswell as no picture.

Could it be the sound card? I'm using AHI and SB128.

I've given up on this, will see if there's a quick way to switch to AGA and back again instead :-)

What about Displaychain tooltype - does it have an effect?

[Lurch]

Have played with that, yes/no. Also tried the fakenativemodes=no still black screen.

Going by the WHDLoad site from 16.8 onwards the voodooint on/off is now builtin so don't need to change that under the Mediator preferences.

So have WHDLoad 17.2 and Picasso96 2.??c, have tried pci.library 9.6 to 10. Other AGA games switch nicely, just appears to be WHDLoad.
