Problems with my expanded A1200

[Delbhoy79]

I'm having a couple of problems with my A1200 and new ACA1221 when certain games are loaded. I'm kinda new to the Amiga scene so from the video would this need the timing fix?

It does it on anything with mouse control and even a few non-mouse games. Bubba-Stix, Turrican, Flimbo's Quest etc.

I've tried all the whdload ToolTypes to see if it helped but nothing differs.

Did you have this issue before upgrading card?
Have you tried switching jumper?

The jumper only had 3 settings. Trial, parked and unlocked (for upgrades). Ive put it back into park mode as I have added all available upgrades.

I'll try a game this evening with the card out and see what happens.

If I recall, after 10 boots in trial, it no longer works as trial (jumper does nothing).

Yeah that's right.

To confirm I get this glitch without the card too. Hmm wonder whats causing that?!

well it doesn't do it workbench which os odd. Does it happen in ESM. Do you also have any patches loaded?

No it's fine in esm. It only seems to do it when I have a game loaded. Either from a floppy with no cf card or accelerator attatched (like an original standard Amiga) or thru whdload with cf card and accelerator attatched.

It's driving me mad!

At first I thought it was to do with the aca1221 but this doesn't seem to be the case.

What about changing resolution in workbench, try a see if you can get it to show issue. Sounds like a hardware issue.

I think it's hardware 😕

My A1200 does this kind of glitches too. Cursor sprite kind of jumps a little bit. Changing resolution didn't help. What kind of helped once was cleaning of power supply. But it began again.

I'm also having issues with my ACA1221, but I'm fairly sure it's me doing something wrong. Now, I have an ESCOM A1200 with Classic WB and 3.0 roms. I managed to install ACATune (the newest one v191), but for some reason 60mb fast ram gets added. However, I haven't purchased any upgrades. After this, running WHDLoad gives me a guru meditation (recovarable alert 0100 000C).

The jumper is in "idle" position. I am clueless. Without the card my Amiga works as before, and also without ACAtune it doesn't crash like this. Any ideas what to do?

[Delbhoy79]

Is it definitely in idle mode? You get 10 trials of having everything unlocked. This is 10 power off and on trials. They don't go down from a restart. http://wiki.icomp.de/wiki/ACA1221

Also where are you putting the code in the startup-sequence?

I'm positive about the jumper position. I also tried without it, since it's basically the same thing.

This is acatune -status:
http://www.picpar.com/fe7b

This is my startup:
http://www.picpar.com/ge7b

And finally, this is the error message:
http://www.picpar.com/he7b

I think I'm hijacking your thread and my issues are probably not on topic. I'd really welcome any advise, though. I guess Amigakit has some kind of support I could contact?

I have mine set to:

C:ACAtune -Maprom ** -Maxmem >NIL:



Then at the very end of the startup sequence before the load WB bit I have put:

C:ACAclock s 3



so that it loads my clock speed to 28mhz.

I can't load the last image in post #14. Image error?

Delbhoy79 your S-S is wrong. The Acatune line has to be the first.

When I put before the "IF EXISTS DEV:" bit, it loads black screen and I have to boot without S-S and edit it.
