WHDLoad & Mediator PCI A1200

[girv]

Anyone have any problems running WHDLoad games on a Mediator PCI
+ graphics card based A1200? There must be someone on here with such a setup...

On my system, WHDLoad games freeze with a black screen just after
loading although the quit & debug keys work alright. I've tried:
- removing everything possible from my startup
- running the Mediator drivers with and without MMU usage
- all the WHDLoad options
- running WHDLoad from its own non gfx card screen
- many different WHDLoad games from different patch authors

The only way I can get it to work is to boot into a non gfx card
screenmode like PAL HiRes (not ideal!). If I then switch to a gfx
card mode WHDLoad stops working; if I then switch back to a non
gfx card mode WHDLoad remains not working until I reboot, ie:
WHDLoad doesnt work after the gfx card has been activated at all.

I guess there is some clash between WHDLoad and the gfx card drivers,
but I've no idea what it could be or how to fix or work around it.

Specs:
A1200, Blizzard 1260, 50Mb RAM, Mediator PCI (original 4 slot),
Voodoo 3 16Mb, RTL819D fast ethernet card, OS 3.9+BB2, Mediator
drivers 3.9, WHDLoad 16.4 registered, A1200 native output displayed
on a TV via RF cable.

Any suggestions welcome!

I have the same problem specially when the slave uses osemu or kickemu1.3/3.1.
With VoodooInt = No (in env-archive/mediator/), all whd games run fine here.

VoodooInt=No did the trick! A thousand thanks, good sir

You also need MMU=No and VoodooMem=8, but I already had that set.

no problem

after some research:
if VoodooInt=Yes, whd game freezes when the slave or installed program enables ports interrupt for a keyboard handler.

I have MMU=Yes and all is running fine under whdload
