Anyone help with WinUAE config for octaMED???

04 July 2005, 15:25

hi guys my first post here!

I used to use octaMED about 11 years ago on a friends amiga and another mate has just convinced me to put WinUAE on my PC so I could get back to those 8bit octaMED roots!

However,I am having loads of problems configuring WinUAE to work properly with octaMED.Basically it runs fine for about the first 16 bars then starts to stutter and it gets worse from there,if I change the settings in WinUAE it goes back to normal then repeats.I am a total n00b to configuring an Amiga so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am running it on the following setup:

Acer Aspire 1500 laptop
AMD64 3000+
1GB RAM
ATI Mobility M10 64MB
Internal Realtek AC97 soundcard
WinXP Pro with SP2

I have Kickstart 3.1 rev40.68
and Amiga OS 3.9.

My WinUAE config is as follows:

EDIT: sorry guys my WinUAE is v1.0.0

Emulated A1200 mode

CPU = 68040 with JIT enabled
Fastest possible...with min. cpu idle (slider to left)
8MB cache with Force Settings,Const Jump,FPU Support and No Flags all enabled

Chipset is AGA with Cycle exact CPU and Blitter enabled.
Collision Level is set to Sprites and Sprites vs. Playfield
Sound Emulation is Emulated 100% accurate

RAM settings
Chip 2MB
Fast none
Slow none
Z3-Fast 64MB
RTG 16MB

(I have tried lots of other settings too but to no avail

...however all suggestions are welcome

)

Displaying in 640x480 16bit windowed
FPS 50
Using uaegfx 640x480 8bit (just to try and coax some more juice out of it) mode in workbench

Sound settings:

Enabled 100% accurate
Buffer Size 5 (371ms)
44100 (although I have tried 22050 and 11025 with the same results)
Stereo 70%
Interpolation disbaled
Audio Filter emulated
67% Disk Drive Sound Emulation
0% lag compenastion

I hope these settings are detailed enough for anyone to see where I'm going wrong.

Thanx

Try adjusting lag slider in sound-panel.

Which version of Octamed are you using? I always preferred the classic v5 release, however there were newer versions that allowed the screen to open on an RTG screen (this may save on chipset overheads), and possibly even an AHI supporting version (again, this would provide smoother playback).

Take it easy,
James

Which version of WinUAE?

Have you tried a bog-standard A500 setting?
