Dopus Magellan II and WinUAE

[jjsmith]

I use Dopus Magellan II and WinUAE 8.21 r4 and have problems with the speed at which I can set WinUAE at with it. I have to set WinUAE to 'Adjustable between CPU and Chipset' instead of 'fastest possible', otherwise WinUAE will crash and reboot the emulation.

I find 'fastest possible' to be better for my system, but I can't use this because it crashes Dopus. If I leave it on Adjustable, SetPatch for OS3.5 refuses to load and the 'Boot with no startup sequence option dosen't work! (freezes WinUAE). 'I have to keep on switching between fastest possible and adjustable just to boot my WinUAE HD.

Is there some setting I have on which can cause this sort of problem? Turning JIT off works, but it goes sloooow.

Is there a utility to switch CPU 'speed' on-the-fly Toni?

Please help!

Looks like known JIT Pentium 4 incompatibility..

Ok, must be something else.

Try to disable uaescsi.device emulation. Try different CPU models (68020/68020+FPU/68040) Check log.

Have you tried adding 'set echo on' at he beginning of your startup sequence to see where abouts the emulation is locking up in the boot process?

I know that I have had problems with DOpus if you are using visual tools like visualprefs on the emulation. If it is because of visual prefs you willl need to set a env varible so that it doesnt 'break' DOpus.

I aint sure otherwise - are you running the emulation with the Picasso96 RTG driver?

Toni: I've tried switching the CPU and it exibits this problem when a JIT-enabled CPU is used (68020/FPU - 68040). I tried turning off uaescsi.device and it made no difference.

I've attached to this message my WinUAE log file

Sam: I use the Picasso96 2.0 graphics card driver and have tried my setup with and without VisualPrefs, but to no avail
