AMiGA 1200 Setup for Games - Page 2

Eny- · 23 June 2004, 11:59

Btw... all this addons i can grab from aminet right?

Unknown_K · 23 June 2004, 12:08

Workbench 3.0 works fine for me, which is what shipped with most A1200's

Amiga1992 · 23 June 2004, 16:04

Yes all addons can be found at Aminet.

I use a Workbench 3.0 setup, with these addons/patches:

MUI
MCP(only some patches turned on, I actually should remove it, it's not good)
MultiCX (THE patch tool. Use this and not MCP, I only have MCP as well because I'm masochist :P)
MagicMEnu (can't live without it)
FBlit

And something else I forgot. It's another speed improvement patch much in the vein of FBlit (Can't remember, one was for letting you load all icons and shit in fastram, the other accelerated the chunky-to-planar videomodes or something)

I probably have been hinted at it by you, ant! Can't remember. There was a thread I started just when I got my 1200 where I asked about addons and people replied with nice suggestions, but I couldn't find it!

Amiga1992 · 23 June 2004, 18:16

OK found the thread! might be of help to you:

Is MultiCX and MagicCX the same because they are made by SASG, right? Which one is newer?

Eny- · 24 June 2004, 00:35

Thank you all... i will begin by those.

Those nice game icons is from NewIcons right?

MultiCX does that already have the ' Patcher ' tool for example?

Amiga1992 · 24 June 2004, 01:01

"Patcher" tool?

bamiga: really no clue, you killed me there!

not "Patcher"... "Installer" i needed to dll that from aminet to install some apps.

Btw, can "we" start with the network bit first? Since transfering stuff through Serial is boooooring... it takes so much time...

Eny- · 24 June 2004, 01:44

Btw Akira, your room looks great at least @ '02

Amiga1992 · 24 June 2004, 02:42

Hehe the room is new now because I moved, should take some piccies I guess ;D

MultiCS doesn't include Installer. It's a patcher, not a multi-utility thingy. You have to download that from Aminet, yes.

As for the network bit, I bet Miami can get through to your NEC card with some generic driver, but you said you had AmiTCP going already, so cool. Dunno about Samba since I haven't installed it ever

You shoudl be more specific thabn "I cannot install Samba"... why can't you install it?

Eny- · 24 June 2004, 03:02

Well... what can i say... hum.... i *can* install it, but in the install dir i've got no exec file, so how can i run it?

Eny- · 24 June 2004, 03:18

I've decided to give it a go at WinUAE...It's a lot faster that messing with the real thing... i can transfer all back to my miggy afterwards can i?

The WinUAE config. should be:

CPU Type: 68020+FPU <Blizz FPU>
CPU E. S.: Fastest possible...
Cache Size: 0mb
Chipset: AGA
Misc Chipset opt: Cycle exact...
Collision Level: Full
ROM: 3.0
RAM: Chip 2mb ~ Z3-Fast: 8mb <8m SIMM from the Blizz>

Is this right?

[ Real A1200 < 3.0 Rom : Blizzard 30@50+FPU > ]

Amiga1992 · 24 June 2004, 13:52

Probably, I don't know. Maybe the emulator doesn't react 100% like your Amiga will so be careful, you night end up with different results in your REAL config.
If I had a network card I would try to help you with Samba but I really can't get access to one. Have you got this program?

http://ftp.uni-bremen.de/pub/aminet/comm/tcp/smbfs.lha

It will mount your PC drives in the Amiga if I'm correct. It's easier to set up than Samba.

The config is wrong BTW, you must set it for 68030 + FPU Dunno if you can do that in the emu though.

Eny- · 24 June 2004, 14:07

I've tried SMBFS already same results as Samba.. ok i'm a newbie... i may by installed but can't use it!
Btw... i would prefer Samba so it can map the miggy drives on the PC, not the way around as SMBFS does it...

---

As for the setup, i've installed:

-BlazeWCP
-FBlit
-FastView
-MUI
-MultiCX
-MagicMenu

It's that all?
What about those nice looking icons? NewIcons?

Eny- · 24 June 2004, 14:57

As for the WHDload everysingle WHDLoad i install, after running the game, the screen flickers and stays that way in a white/black/green whatever...

Well slap me silly and call me Mildred, I have finally found out why my A1200 ran like a rotting dog!

256 cols = BAD!

Amiga1992 · 24 June 2004, 22:49

You really were running 256 colors? how could you stand it?
