Beta 5.3.0 OS 4 and OS 3
Hello, those interested. I welcome feedback.
WinUAE 5.3.0 beta series Beta 1: - CyberVision PPC/BlizzardVision PPC RTG board (Permedia 2 chip) partial emulation. G-REX needs to be enabled, C/BVPPC is basically Permedia 2 PCI card in CyberStorm MK3/PPC/Blizzard PPC internal PCI bus but I didn't want to to emulate "fake" G-REX with only single virtual slot. Yes. I wrote yet another SVGA chip emulator. Got it.. BUT I don't understand why G-REX needs to be enabled since my actual A4000 Picasso 4 and CVisionPPC doesn't have a G-REX. OS 3 and OS 4 see both just fine as standard. But, okay, if it requires emulation to work... "- If PCI device was non-UAE built-in (It was PCem SVGA card) and PCI was configured by single write to PCI BAR (Base Address Register), without first doing PCI bar size/alignment detection, device ignored all BAR writes. Fixes pre-44.71 CSMK3/PPC/BPPC boot ROM CyberVision/BlizzardVision PPC PCI configuration (Pre-44.71 support CV/BV PPC but not G-REX PCI). This was not a problem with PCI bridgeboards because bridgeboard drivers always first autodetect each PCI device's BAR size and required alignment." Beta 3: (Probably 2-4 weeks to go) - Small PCI emulation changes (For example G-REX + Permedia 2 + some other PCI card: same card appeared 8 times) - Added Apollo 630 emulation and boot ROM 5.61. Nothing special, ROM is only used to detect the RAM: "32Bit Power-Burstmode-FastRAM", apparently cool sounding name can make RAM even faster! (oddly ROM contains at least parts of IDE and SCSI drivers from other Apollo accelerators). I encountered that in some test.. "same card appeared 8 times". Beta 4: - Only "insert" CV/BVPPC in to CSMK3/CSPPC internal PCI slot. Insert any other PCI card in to G-REX PCI slots. OS4 does not detect boards in first "internal" PCI slot. (b3) For a little bit I wondered what do you mean from the first sentence. Probably RTG Board...select that and all is good. Nope. CSPPC doesn't see it. Enable G-Rex does it. AH, HA!! That's what he meant... From there after changing ROM to Indirect, on boot, OS4 CD Will detect it for a moment and then revert to native. OS 3.1 will notice it with G-Rex enabled and I may install P96 and it will detect it, but..has display problems. |

EDIT: so the usual testing: same in all color depths? Where does glitches appear? Screenshot. Picasso96 version. And so on. And make sure no 3rd party patches are installed. Last edited by Toni Wilen; 21 April 2024 at 15:42. |

For OS 3.1, without 3rd party patches. P96 3.1.1.. When I use ScreenMode and choose a different mode, Workbench will clear the screen and not go any further. Screen setting is saved before it locks. So resetting will display the new mode. If I switch to 1024x768x16 the screen is doubled.
As for OS 4.1, booting from the CD attempts to go into a higher resolution, but falls back to native. When installing anyway, CVisionPPC string can be chosen. Once install is down, and booting from HDF it doesn't go past this screen. |

I...have some understanding of what you mean. Yup, I can boot A4K and see CVPPC well in 15/16.. That's what I meant a bit ago that it doesn't look like Picasso IV. I don't expect you to recall that. It's (used to be) fun making CDs into Partitions to boot from. Looooove WinUAE! You remind me of a very, very, VERY dedicated Amiga user/programmer called Chris Brenner (great friend) from the early A4000 days. In CA... Anyway, thanks a LOT, Toni, here to help if I am able. |

As you requested, picture, config, and logs.
The config is currently set for OS 3.1. I went through all the 1024xXXXxX resolutions and ended with 800x600x16 which I use often. |

"Interlaced". Thats the important bit. Interlaced modes seem to be stretched. But why is it interlaced in your config? Permedia 2 can do at least 1600x1200x16 non-interlaced.
It sounds like you have selected monitor with low max vertical/horizontal refresh rates. Check Picasso96Mode (or P96Prefs if KS 3.2+) EDIT: It might be as simple as this: Permedia 2 does not seem to have interlaced mode support which means the only way to "support" them in P96 is to only show every other line.. = you get bad aspect ratio image.

Making that sound that says, "Silly me.." I didn't look close enough. Good catch, Toni, I should have looked closer. Change to test HDF made, and all 1024's look good.

It is correct result when attempting to use Permedia 2 interlaced modes. Chip does not support interlace but because P96 needs to support interlace, you get halved vertical. (which is better than getting nothing)
