AMOS Pro hangs on real A1200

elanstra · 20 October 2019, 20:48

Hi all,

I got some issue that I cannot solve

Any copy of AMOS Professional that I try (Amiga Format or downloaded from various places) hangs after a few seconds of been run. Sometimes I go as far as opening a file, but then hangs again. Most of the time hangs with the screen totally brown-ish and a cursor on the top left.

I tried with a clean 128MB CF with just WB3.1 files. I tried directly from the disks.

It works on WinUAE, but not on my A1200.
I also tested The Creator and it works.

I have an A1200 with 3.0 ROMS and 4MB Fast RAM.

What can be wrong? Thanks a lot in advance.

I bought AMOS Pro in the early 1990’s and I seem to remember it had problems with the A1200 when I got one a little later. I don’t think it worked on AGA machines, it’s been many years I hope I’m remembering that correctly. Do you have AGA turned on in your WinUAE config?

I think you might need an updated version, as I'm certain I've run AMOS Pro on an A1200 without problems. Seem to recall a patch and/or new version was issued to fix this problem for both AMOS and AMOS Pro.

Yes, I have the chipset as AGA. That's why I'm quite surprised.

Anybody knows where I can get that updated version or a patch. I searched on Internet but I couldn't find anything.

Exactly which version of AMOS Pro are you trying to run?
