How can that be if its working with an earlier version.
I have never been able to get newer version to work on any PS32 with Pi3.
They can't all be faulty with same issue. Stick Pi4 or cm4 in and same newer version works 100%.

Unless your talking about, it boots EMU68, passes buptest, then just sits there on black screen.
Then that is a fault. Generally dry joints on Turion chip.

I don't think anything is faulty. It was working until I put my dirty fingers on it I just replaced the old 0.3 by the 1.0 files and...it's not working anymore.



BUT : the grey pistorm splash screen appears, and the version in the corner is the correct one.

Go back to your 0.3 backup?

My backup ? What can I say... I was so stupidly confident that I didn't make a backup.


anyway, last test I did (to be sure nothing is wrong with the amiga), I started successfully the system on my cf drive, without the pistorm. OS is working fine. So the problem is on the pistorm.

Eventually everybody learns to make backups. Usually the hard way

Pm me your email. I will send the version I do testing on for PI3 with.
It is just pi files, setup to run as accelerator with extra ram and buptest enabled. NO ROMS!!! though.

Sorry, not sure I understand what you mean ?


thanks


edit : by the way, on my pistorm partition I also have 3 folders.

system volume information
lib
include

edit 2 : I tried to reinstall the files, but letting the original config.txt in the archive (where the initframs line is not commented) : same result. So here's the problem : the pistorm cannot find both software (I never had one) or hardware roms.


edit : by the way, I have a licence of amiga OS 3.2 : I '"ve got a bunch of roms on the cdrom, wich one I need to make a test of software rom ? do I have to rename it ? thanks
