Thing is, I need to get the mediator too. I would mainly do my dev on a towered A1200, which looks pretty promising now. However, as 040/060 accelerators usually goes above £500-700 it's above my price range at the moment.

I'm getting each part over an extended amount of time.

Thanks for the offer, will have to think about it over the summer!

It's a limited time offer, limited to the amount of time it takes you to respond to Stachu in the marketplace and place an order on Amigakit. It's only money, remember you can't take it with you.

Lol, I have exactly £554 to live on until the end of the month. I don't have any extra savings I can take from either.

EDIT:
Just checked Stachu's sale. Lmao, 900 EUR. Brb, just gonna sell my kidney. :P

Maybe someone has an A1200 accelerator to donate too. Hey someone want to donate an A1200 040/060 Accelerator so Marlon can port Sheepshaver/GemRB and FPSE?

I'm about 60%/85%/0% done on those anyway, it should only take him a week!

Hah, wouldn't that be great? I could probably do a lot of groundwork on PC and trying it in UAE. But my experience with running WarpOS ports compiled with newer tools, that work on real hardware, on UAE have been disastrous and never want to work properly. :/

I could also focus on getting stuff to either work on MorphOS or 68k Classic and then make the rest of the changes later to get it to run on WarpOS.

I'm so peeved that there's no proper cross tools for WarpOS, such a shame! There would certainly be much more ports for these cool cards if the toolset was there. Has anyone contacted H&P to get hold of the sources for the older toolset? Just getting hold of the sources of Elf2exe2 would go a long way.

It was without audio as that hangs the A1200. Based on this I wouldn't recommend buying anything yet. I would wait until Warp3D plus audio running.

I got time until I can afford anything anyway.

The progress so far is still promising though and I'm hopeful you'll get it working properly eventually.

I’ve got a spare A4000 with an A3640.

I’d be willing to long-term lend it to Marlon for development purposes. He’d have to get hold of a Mediator for it, and a keyboard. I could supply it with a fresh OS3.9 BB1&2 install and a Voodoo 3 2000.

It’s got an original PSU but that’s the one I’ve run a sonnet and rapture on with no issues so it should be fine.

trixster · 13 July 2018, 15:42

I’m seeing Quake3-jit fail to load maybe 70% of the time with #359 360 and 361. I’ve been using #336 for the last month with no issues. Haven’t had chance to test any builds between 336 and 359 yet, sorry

Hedeon · 13 July 2018, 17:36

I'll then wait until you have pinpointed the build which introduced it. :-)

That’s very nice of you! I’ll have to think about it. Currently not at home

Ha ha! I knew you’d say that!

I’ll start going through them from 337 onwards when I can. Sometimes I get a data exception like the one linked

. Stuff like Q2, blitzquake, GPMark, gears seem unaffected, no crashes so far with those with 361.

Hedeon · 13 July 2018, 20:37

Do it in steps of 10 then do 5 back when it crashes etc. Don't do 336,337,338 etc

trixster · 13 July 2018, 20:57

That's more or less what im doing

340, 345, 350, 355 all ok so far it seems.

grelbfarlk · 13 July 2018, 23:28

I'd try 358, that's what I'm running on Rapture and Ragnarok and it's stable.

Hedeon · 13 July 2018, 23:41

He's trying to find the first unstable one. Not a stable one. And why are you not on the latest?

trixster · 14 July 2018, 00:09

I think the problem I’m seeing starts with #355. 355 did seem to launch Q3-jit ok but I then started seeing random crashes in-game or on the title screen after a while. I then tried gears and got crashes too, sometimes after only a few seconds. I was a little surprised by this as I hadn’t seen crashes in anything but Q3 so far with the latest drivers. I tried #359 again and sure enough it crashed gears after about 25 seconds so maybe I just haven’t tested 359+ thoroughly enough with stuff other than Q3.

I’ve gone back down to #354 and that seems all fine - an hour of Q3-jit played with no issues and gears has just been running for 45mins without issue.

I’m going to leave the machine on overnight with #354 running gears to see where we are in the morning.

I thought >359 was A1200 updates, I'll updratege.

I thought I was using 358 but it is 359, I got confused because the file sizes are the same. It was that one magical night when you fixed all those things.

Hedeon · 14 July 2018, 09:46

What card are you using? 355 only contains changes for a card with a harrier chipset.

trixster · 14 July 2018, 10:21

Quake 2 has just been running loops overnight with #354 so I think that’s probably ok. This is all on a rapture.
