Emulated board is RT1000B. RT1000C apparently is not identical, at least it has IO/memory mapped addressing select jumper that B variant does not. (B is memory mapped only)
So there is no way to know if RTASPI1C.SYS is compatible with B. This is confusing.. RTASPI10.SYS is for "plain" RT1000 and RTASPIC1C.SYS is for RT1000C. What about RT1000B? Or is RTASPI10.SYS also for B? But lack any accesses to $dc000 makes no sense. |

Tony, right, different version pcb....., controller 8 bit,memory lack,....in manual there is write old verison of dos 6.22....it possible to have compatily with only old verison ms-dos (not 16bit).....tommorow test with old verison of msdos. Last edited by Zilog; 07 September 2018 at 23:22. |

I guess RTASPI10.SYS is only for RT1000 and RTASPI1C.SYS is for RT1000C. It is also possibly archive is not complete. |

Thanks Toni for the fix!
Some more random findings: I usually like to enable scanlines - reminds me of my old crt-monitor and adds some nostalgia. The "scanlines" setting under Host->Display gives a bit too high contrast so i leave this setting at "double" and mix in scanlines in the Host->Filter panel (-> extra settings -> scanline opacity -> ~50). As soon as the bridgeboard window opens, the scanlines disappear. The "normal" scanline mode enabled in Host->Display continues to work though. Also - it would be nice if (these kind of) filters could be applied to the bridgeboard window as well. If not independently configurable, then maybe same settings for both windows? After all, the bridgeboard vga was attached to a second crt-monitor in reality as well - so same look-and-feel seems reasonable(?) Reset is making emulation stutter: i think i've read somewhere we need to quit WinUAE completely - but not sure. That's what i'm doing now since after a reset the emulation starts to stutter. It's quite noticeable as soon as the bridgeboard bios counts its ram up. On the first run bios counts smoothly (twice?). After reset, it counts fluently maybe for a second then stops a couple of milliseconds (noticeable) and continues. Also sound output from the soundblaster stutters after reset. I also have no luck with x86 Bridgeboard CPU options (or is this a left-over from the previous emulation core that isn't supposed to work?). Even a slight speedup either crashes WinUAE or gives all kinds of side-effects. I had the mouse moving at variable (usually very slow) speed or the mouse pointer jumping randomly. Sometimes the mouse is not even recognized, the soundcard (configured correctly and working) is no longer being recognized by the game i use for testing, etc, etc. Are the peripherals getting out of sync with the cpu-emulation here? Maybe the whole x86-part needs the speedup, including the x86 expansions? Ala "fastest possible but keep expansions timing" Easy said - i know. You see - i know nothing about the WinUAE source or hardware emulation in general - i'm just dreaming. The reason i played with x86 Bridgeboard CPU options was the fairly slow response of my emulated CL-GD5429. I use the game Strike Commander for testing and the game plays an animated intro - currently it's more of a slideshow on my (admittedly) low-end notebook. But since it wasn't much difference on another pc i tested it (desktop pc and graphics fast enough for my cad work) i wondered if i could get this better by tuning emulation cpu speed. Nevertheless - keep up this incredible work! Back to play with my amiga now... Best regards, Michael |

Moved from beta thread because post has too many non-beta related questions..

Bridgeboard window? (I can count at least 3 different things that can be called "bridgeboard window") Also I am confused because Display panel scanlines only affect native Amiga modes, not bridgeboard/RTG modes. (photos/screenshots?) Quote:

Thanks for your reply
and sorry for posting this in the wrong thread at first. Quote:

A few seconds later a "pc window" opens next to it (rigth-hand side) with the pc-bridgeboard emulation showing the pc bios and boot process. At first when there's only the amiga emulation window open, the scanlines (set via "Host"->"Display"->"line mode" set to "double", "Host"->"Filter"->"extra settings"->"scanline opacity" slider set to ~50) are displayed nicely in the amiga emulation window. When the second window (pc bios screen) opens, the scanlines in the AMIGA window disappear. They stay intact though if you enable scanlines "the normal way" via "Host"->"Display"->"line mode" set to "scanlines". Quote:
Same thing happens when hitting F12 and pressing the "restart" button bottom left and then start emulation without changing any settings in the GUI. PCReset seems fine but my dos mouse driver doesn't work anymore after PCReset therefore i need to full-reset i.e. close and restart WinUAE currently. Quote:

And yes Winuae crashing not the emulated amiga or pc. No dump file though - Windows10 just closed the application completely without any messages. Unfortunately i can't reproduce it currently - i only get the application to freeze until windows complains and asks whether to close it or wait (forever). Closing it, windows wants to send a bug report to Microsoft... as if MS could help So - lesson learned is: leave the "x86 Bridgeboard CPU options->"CPU Speed" slider untouched. Quote:
Nevertheless, after all this is a new emulation core - incredible work so far! Greetings, Michael |

Toni - I've uploaded a zip-file "A2386sx_findings.zip" with screenshots, a bootdisk and my config to the zone.
Quote:
"Scanlines1.png" is right after hitting the start button in the WinUAE GUI. It's the moment the amiga starts booting workbench from hardfile just before the bridgeboard emulation window appears. "Scanlines2.png" is a few seconds later, amiga still booting to workbench. Second window on the righthand side shows pc bios prompt before memory is counted. Scanlines in the amiga window have disappeared. Quote:
Booting from this disk gives me "Invalid hardware for memory manager". 8MB or 4MB bridgeboard memory makes no difference. Quote:
I tested again and... bbsetup.com works from the attached bootdisk! So the esc-key and end-key (==Numpad1) not working issue i had must be due to my dos keyboard driver (using a german qwertz keyboard layout). Need to investigate further, so sorry for the false alarm. Thanks for your patience, Michael |

Does EMM actually work now? Program(s) that uses EMS runs without any weird behavior?
btw, does mouse now work after reset? (PC serial port was not reset). This change does not affect any other reset issues. |

Sorry - haven't tested yet.
I need to download fixed version first - but where? Sorry, i'm still new to this... If it's the file at http://www.winuae.net/files/b/winuae.7z, then no luck - zip file seems to be broken. Hopefully i can test tonight, when kids are in bed. Michael |

No - still broken. Tried different browsers and cleared cache first. Just to be safe...
