Trying to get this to run on my 32mb Apollo 1260, so far all I get is a flashing screen and then a crash....anyone got some tips?

Is your VBR moved to fast ram? AFAIR the demo won't like that. And it has to be started from a native screen, it won't work from RTG screens.

Hiya StingRay,

I'm using RemApollo so my VBR will be in FASTRAM. I tried using a 3.1 boot disk but still get the same crash.

Maybe I just haven't got enough memory to run it, anyone know how much it needs?

This demo was released for the revision 2011, you need a 68060 and 16 megas 
to run the show. Only 50% of the optimization are present, wait the final 
version to judge the speed. This demo was tested on winuae 2.3.1 version,
if you use the 2.3.0 version it will not work:( 

Thanks to Kalms for support all my question and Winden for his division tricks.

Tried it without RemApollo and still got a crash.

Has anyone got this to run on an Apollo?

Can't get it to run even with the latest WinUAE, just sound but no GFX. I don't bother to search the working settings.

Works just fine with Blizzard 1260.

Very nice demo

I have already mentioned the reason for this:

I was trying on PAL mode.

I can confirm I ran this on my Apollo 1260 (32MB 80MHz). I can't recall if anything special was required to get it going, unfortunately the system is disassembled at the moment. I had a hacked 3.1 ROM installed and was running the cpu library from the mmulib package. Usually, if a demo didn't work from WB, I could boot with no startup-sequence, run setpatch (and maybe some of the mmulib tools), then start the demo without any problem.

I'm using the official Apollo 1260 library (patched for RemApollo).

I'll try making a boot disk that uses the MMU 060 library to see if that helps...

Ok finally got this to work and it also allowed me to run TBL's Silkcut on my 32mb Apollo 1260.

Here's what I did:

1) Created a 3.1 boot disk
2) Copied my 'dummy' 68040.library and Cosmos's updated 68060.library over to the libs folder on the floppy boot disk
3) That was it actually.




BTW Massive is very very cool @ 80Mhz, must do a video

[Mendel]

Massive runs just fine at 66MHz too. Actually it´s still okay even at 50MHz. Not a "we come in peace" or anything like that.

[roy bates]

i was watching the video and happenrd to see one of your other vids,the one with tfx on nova would you say it was playable.yes i have the game.


yeah,we come in peace is a nice demo.

[NovaCoder]

Hiya Roy,

Yep TFX is just about playable on my system so it should run quite nicely on yours

I'll do a write-up when I get the time.

[SaphirJD]

Anyone can tell me what's necessary to activate/deactivate in winuae to run that? i managed it once, but i can not find that comb ination of winuae functions which did the trick for me
