I don't do AmigaOS software support and this thread is not for AmigaOS software support.

EDIT: I don't even know how install PPC stuff correctly because I don't care. I only copied required libs and that was it.

ppctest disk I tried 2 days ago, it doesn't work either with b10

powerup test says there is no ppc library
warup test freezes here and winuae crash


here is the config Im using ,what's wrong?

[Toni Wilen]

Switch to 68060 CPU. For some reason BPPC flash code does not like 68040's (does not init any PPC libs), perhaps there was specific 68040 flash code version?

(But still it is better idea to use CSPPC first, less unknown variables)

EDIT: Check PPC status info during boot, it should show "RUN" momentarily if BPPC is configured correctly.

On AmigaOS 3.9 CDROM is an Installer for WarpOS5. This should do the job. I did installed this and - i.e. - WarpDatatypes and it simply works!

The blizzppc had specific flash updaters for 040 and 060 cards and it does perform a cpu check and wouldn't run if you used the wrong one. My 040 rom is in the zone that you had previously requested.

EDIT: Solved the phantom memory appearance. Some reason Processor Memory and accelerator memory had become two different things with blizzppc. (processor ram slider wasn't ghosted)

I noticed but it still said only 68060 in boot rom version string. I assumed there is no difference between 040 and 060. It must be 68040 vs 68060 library difference, I guess only one will fit in flash.

They are two different things with Blizzard boards (different address space). Blizzards are special.

Maybe but I don't trust installers, some of them have habit of installing incompatible or old versions if OS has never versions/patches installed.

Thats why I don't usually care about software problems that can't be confirmed on real hardware. Million things can go wrong due to mismatching versions etc..

Look in the Zone

Yes! This is right! Only if we test with existing configs.

I test with new config (new installation of AmigaOS 3.9 from scratch) to get not to many variables...

best regards

ok I switched to 060 now powerup test says ok
but warpos test says that warpos can not run in parallel with ppc.library etc
I deleted powerpc library but says idem thing

what I do now?

[amigafreak68k]

which PowerPC is emulated with BlizzardPPC? I can't check it at this moment. Maybe the problems are related to the PPC type? On Cyberstorm it is a 604e, on Blizzard 603e or 603e Plus

It is 100% correct behavior. BPCC has ppc.library in flash rom. There are workarounds but it is not topic here, as usual. Not specific to emulation.

Just don't use BPPC if you aren't sure what to do.

What problems? Nothing here is PPC CPU related.

I repeat: BPPC is special. It has LOTS OF flash built-in software that is normally disk based only.

ok warpdatatypes are working there ...,now my question is: does warpos test is working in your config?
can you upload the config you are using, thanks

WarpOS test works on my single-core cpu laptop! (Note: Not allowed WinUAE PPC test platform!)

p.s. Just dont ask how fast it run! (aka how long it takes)

I tried lot of configs for cyberstorm PPC...none of them works here
only BZPPC I could make it to work (partially)
which version of cyberstormppc rom I must use? 44.71 ?

[amigafreak68k]

Maybe you must rename it (one of it) to "cyberstormppc.rom". After this it worked for me.

Beta 10:

- Added CyberStormI/II/II/PPC and Blizzard PPC flash rom images to rom scanner, name based detection only. (Remember to click ROM rescan button) Now opens usual ROM missing dialog when flash rom image can't be opened.
- Added GUI support for manual accelerator board ROM image selection.
...

[amigafreak68k]

I know! I can choose the ROM from every place, but this doesn't work. The accelerator board isn't registred by WinUAE in this case (not present in Early Startup Menu)

[Toni Wilen]

Logs, please.

Same here, after rename all works fine.

After transfering system files to my hdf image (previous was corrupted somehow): yes, it is working fine on 2900b9, 2820b8 and 2.8.1final (hdc: uae or ide).
When using latest beta 10 and QS A1200 4MB (cycle exact on and approx a500/a1200):
020 4x, hdc: UAE or IDE it's OK
030 8x, hdc: UAE (after long time loading) it's OK
030 8x, hdc: IDE "Software Failure"
Keep in mind that OS files from directories (System and Work dirs from Amiga Forever '12) are working fine always.
But if no one have similar problems maybe it isn't worth time to spend... You have more important things to do for sure
