My A4000 - Page 3

@Steve

Clearly Fantastic Stuff!!!

from an unwated A4000 to a Super Class Z3 machine thwacking out doom and quake!!!

I think that A4000 found the best home it could my friend!

How are you finding quake on the A4000 - are you using the native AGA or do you have a gfx card version?

I am looking forward to seeing if my 060 can make a go of the Warp3D version on my CV64 3D/Mk2 (oh if only I had some time... and it wasn't so damn hot!)

Good luck with this project and please keep them pictures comming =D

Hi mate!,

Having trouble actually playing quake

The demo works ok and pretty smooth but when I try to start a game I get a looping error, I think I'm missing some files, I only have the PAK files from my origianal CD (grabbed quickly them off my PSP from PSP Quake as I can't find the damn CD anywhere!)

Any chance you can zip up your quake folder (without the PAK files for copyright reasons) and Zone it for me Zetr0? I knows yours works lol...

Just playing in AGA as theres no GFX card in the A4000 yet, its a shame I couldn't get that Apollo 060'd then I could be playing on the A1200T via the Voodoo...

Anyway, loving the A4k

Steve.

PS. I'm using this port of Quake, is that the same one you use Zetr0?

PM.... now loading.....

please wait.....

PM sent.....

For a speed boost my friend - use an NTSC screen mode, this should improve the CHIP bandwidth speed by about 20%

fitzsteve · 11 July 2010, 10:48

Any Ideas?

I get the same loading with no startup as well + all modes.

fitzsteve · 11 July 2010, 11:49

Hmm, not sure whats wrong with the clickboom Quake, I'll try some more later...

Anyway I got the other version working, as susspected I must have had some missing files, I aquired the original CD version of quake and copied all the files and now the game runs, and I was surprised to see its actually playable on the 040!

I made a short low quality video, take a look

Yep no doubt there

fitzsteve · 11 July 2010, 12:46

Quake is working now, but not the Clickboom - I guess I should read the manual

Thanks mate!

Pretty sure everything there is on the CF I setup for you

Enjoy!

Steve.

PS. You'll need a network card though and will need to install Miami and IBrowse which are included on the CF.

Oh also I introduced a neater CF-IDE option so there are less cables around the Apollo

ck1200 · 11 July 2010, 22:59

Looking great there mate

brill on the cf though Steve, cant wait until it's here

fitzsteve · 13 July 2010, 21:39

Most certainly did!! looks to be running very smooth there mate

fitzsteve · 13 July 2010, 21:49

First time I ever played it, had to get the ADFs and write them back to floppy LOL, the game has an installer so its installed now

ck1200 · 13 July 2010, 23:44

looking good mate good old floppy's lol and glad its installed!

I picked up my LCD TV today

However its not 100% Amiga friendly, was disapointed to find the TV will not work properly with the Miggy's via RGB Scart, it only displays a flickery black and white picture in all modes, I also tried another scart and then moved onto Composite which had colour but such an awful picture I was about to

So I thought I'd try the VGA input via an RGB/VGA connector (not expecting anything) and was astonished to find that the VGA input will accept the native amiga screens

Its a crystal clear picture, amazing in full screen & AGA modes but there is flicker in the Interlaced modes which is a bummer since I'm using Classic Workbench ADV SP. (Soon to change to CWB OS3.9)

So I guess I have to get a flicker fixer or RTG for the workbench screens, I did see nice Picollo RTG card at Amibay but changed my mind due to the seller wanting a bank transfer, didn't want to send my cash to a zero feedback seller with no paypal protection.

For now I can use it as it is, just at High Res without Interlacing, I was going to go the Indi or RTG route at some point anyway...

Oh, almost forgot - some pics

Hope you enjoy the pics, can't wait till I sort out the higher res modes

Steve.

Jimbo · 14 July 2010, 20:30

That looks awesome

/me drools

Great work

fitzsteve · 14 July 2010, 20:38

Thanks Jimbo =)

I also tried my Dreamcast and this also comes through as 'Black and White' through the Scart, do ya'll think that its just becuase they are old machines not compatible or a problem with the Scart on this TV?

My PS3 is stunning via the HDMI at 1080p(Maybe 1080i) though!

Steve.

Edit, don't think there is anything other then a compatibility problem, my freesat box works fine on the scart. it only has one scart socket by the way so its not as if only one is RGB.
