grafx2 for Amiga OS 3.x doesn't open

Amiga1992 · 25 September 2016, 19:40

Alomst copipasta from this thread
I have been trying to run grafx2 to no avail
Get the OS 3.x version here: http://pulkomandy.tk/projects/GrafX2/downloads/22

Requires a new ixemul.library that I got from here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ami....library/63.1/

It then asks for an AmiTCP: volume (???) and if I assign it anywhere the program just won't load. If anybody could make it run, let me know.

AMIGASYSTEM · 26 September 2016, 00:41

I do not know if I understand correctly, i have not had any problems to run the GrafX2 yourself attachment on my Afa OS.The ixemul.library link you posted does not work (is abbreviated ...)

Correct link
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ami....library/63.1/

N.B. These libraries are for system CPU 68060

Amiga1992 · 26 September 2016, 05:13

You say the library you linked to is for 68060. Is there one for 000/020/030?
Nowhere in the grafx2 page it says 060 is required.

AMIGASYSTEM · 26 September 2016, 07:10

I do not think GrafX2 functions only 060, the problem is that the libraries "ixemul-63.1-m68k" are 060?

Strange because also worked with the 040

, i now make a test with the 030

Tested with AFA OS 68030 and GrafX2 is started without any problem; probably ixemul-63.1/060 also it adapts to the lowest CPU, or there is an error in the comment file.

Is required AmiTCP: because look library "usergroup.library etc... (to enable bsdsocket.library)", Then they are asked to "cybergraphics.library" and 040/060 Libs requested by da ixemu.library

I'm sorry, I don't understand anything you have said and also I am using a real A1200 setup with a vanilla Workbench. Don't even know what AFA OS is nor do I care about any emulation-driven tests.

Anyone with a real A1200 and no whistles, running an 030, has been able to run this? Because I can't. And why would I need AmiTCP? It's a fricking paint program.

AMIGASYSTEM · 26 September 2016, 21:04

Akira unfortunately my English is based on Google Translator, I'm sorry you did not understand what I wrote. AFA OS is an Amiga OS 3.9 with the addition of some graphics libraries AROS, but it is to all effects a AMiGA.
At the moment without AmiTCP and without libraries 040/060 Libs GrafX2 It never starts, stop here for my help !

I think you understood that I am requiring help with REAL HARDWARE and real AMIGAOS 3.0 and not any emulation guff. Your setup ISN'T to all effects an Amiga and it isn't anyway similar to MY Amiga setup. Your post does not help me, it isn't my usage.

A bit rude ...

Amiga1992 · 26 September 2016, 22:43

Amigasystem has a habit of butting in to threads where help is required without any idea what he is saying or reading, many times misinformating or just confusing those requiring help. Would be glad if he had stopped doing that.

AMIGASYSTEM · 26 September 2016, 23:22

I may have misspelled, but I also did the test with Real Amiga (i attach little video) an GrafX2 it worked perfectly, just give GrafX2 what you are asked, but as I said my site is finished here.

Yeah sure buddy thanks for your help, this sure is a real Amiga right there:

Anybody can actually help? Anybody managed to run this on an A1200 with a 030 and 3.1?

daxb · 27 September 2016, 00:44

It seems it needs SDL, zlib, lua. At least it outputs "Couldn't initialize SDL.". Read Readme.txt. Tried it on A1200 040 3.1.

That's weird, I get absolutely no output. I had read the readme, and I have SDL. DOn't think I have lua or zlib (where to get them?)
I give up on this

This is too rough of a port for me to test.

It, my friend, this system is the clone 1:1 of my Amiga 4000/060 Real
however for me it worked with the 030 look at the screenshot above.

You don`t get any output because the startscript shows that it goes to >NIL:. If I use the startscript a screen opens with an icon in the middle then nothing. Try to start from shell then you should see some output.

I guess I`ve this zlib installed: http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/zlib-library

lua is some script language if I`m not wrong but maybe the programm works without it.

Amiga1992 · 27 September 2016, 16:42

I'm gonna give it one more try, from the shell. Thanks daxb for your valuable help.

I'm author of this port.
It needs FPU peroid.
