CacheCDFS configuring
Which are the all possible BufMemType options ( numbers?!) available ?
So, when I open my Cd0 file on DosDrivers drawer for editing the values, the BufMemType is set to "1" as default. It does mean the local public memory ?! ( I assume that with my real A4000 setup, it would use the Fast Ram on the mobo. Is that correct?! Ihave some 32 bit Ram added to my Faslane card and also a BigRamPlus card installed! So, if I have plenty of 32 bit Ram added to my machine, I' d like to do some experimenting and change the BufMemType as 32 bit Fast Ram. So, what is the value( number?!) To write that value as used ?? Sorry, but didn' t find that information on the docs. |

You cannot select a specific kind of Fast RAM. The only choice is Chip RAM, Fast RAM or Any.
There is a description of the possible flags: http://amigadev.elowar.com/read/ADCD.../node02A8.html And there are the values: http://amigadev.elowar.com/read/ADCD.../node062D.html (if it says 1L << 9, you have to take 2 to the power of 9, i.e. the actual value is 512 or 0x200). Be aware that if you demand a type of memory you don't have, allocation will fail and the task might crash. You might not be able to boot any more afterwards. Experimenting is not a good idea. You should know what you are doing. |

Thanks, thomas, but I just thought it would be as simple as changing the current value (=1; Public Mem?!) To 0 ( Any?) or 2 or 3 or 5 ..?! On the configuration / dosdriver file CD0 ..?!
I want to tell you that I'm using the CD32Emulator and running it from floppy disk, and because I had strange problems ( sudden freeze/ hang) with some games, I thought that modifying the CacheCDFS configuration would be a good idea to try. But No, I don' t exactly know what I' m doing, per se. I think my Scsi configuration should be ok , but Im not sure. There might be the place for another thread, sorry, but is someone else using an old Matsushita Cd-r Scsi drive ( v.2) with Amiga ? If yes, it would be nice to know if there has been any problems with that drive ?! Last edited by macce2; 03 April 2020 at 01:50. |

Excuse me, but I was after the correct values / numbers on the CD0 Dosdriver file..!?
Couldnt find them on the CacheCDFS doc text file. And Thomas, thank you for your reply above on this thread, but as a stupid, non-programming end user I didnt quite understand. So, the current ( default?!) value for the BufMem type for CacheCDFS seems to be Publicmem ( value = 1). Is this correct ?! Id want to use the setting FastMem instead, what would the value be then ?! More precisely, Id like to use 32 bit Dma mem, if possible ..?! |
