Oooo yeah, the hits just keep on coming!

Just scored a PPS 040 2000 as well!

Maybe my A2000 will become the machine of choice soon?

Zetr0 · 22 September 2010, 12:14

WOW PPS 040!!!!

you must take some pics of this setup my friend =)

Fingerlickin_B · 22 September 2010, 12:52

Heya Z-man!

Cards probably won't arrive until next week, but pics WILL be taken & posted!

Just to make me feel silly about how much I paid...what would you expect to pay for the PPS 040?

PZ.

Zetr0 · 22 September 2010, 16:25

sheesh my friend I have seen this sell for silly money!!!

I expect it to be around the £150 - £200 mark - ($300/$400AU)

.... your gonna tell me you got it for nowt arn't you?!

Dont hurt me too much my GVP Combi-040@33 (16MB Fast) cost me £150 inc postage - add a GURU ROM and we are looking at £190

cosmicfrog · 22 September 2010, 23:54

yay another 040 PPC user in the world

though I seriously suggest u play with WinUAE and Picasso as once you get it sorted it`s simple to back up to real hardware, well it is if you got the right connections

Fingerlickin_B · 23 September 2010, 02:38

Cost me $220AUD including post

I can't wait!

!!!Great Deal!!!

Fingerlickin_B · 23 September 2010, 13:01

I just hope it works!

Picasso arrived today, so I downloaded the install disk/s from Installers Heaven.
Installed & no new screenmodes available.
Also I get "Can't open vilintuisup.library" on start-up...even though it IS there.

Whaaaaah!

@Fingerz

I am not mistaken you need an 020 or better to install Picasso Drivers and P96 - if you did this via WinUAE then its most-likely possible that some things just wont work untill the PPS040 is in there =)

what OS are you using btw?

Thanks yet again for offering help man, I REALLY do appreciate it!

The machine already has an A2630 fitted, so the minimum '020 CPU requirement issue should in fact be a non-issue...I guess?

As for OS, it is running 3.1 with Classic Workbench Lite additions.

*EDIT* - Nah, I did nothing within UAE, all done on the actual machine itself.

Agreed your whaaaaaah - you tried the original software which is dead old. If you have a better processor (OK, you have), get Picasso96. But you have to clean the rests of Picasso software carefully - they can disturb P96.

Cool, I have wiped the HDD & reinstalled my files from last week's backup, so there will be NOTHING from tonight's failed setup in there.

Could you please advise on where to find the best/real Picasso96 disk?

There are plenty scattered on the net, but which one to choose?

*EDIT* - Downloading v2.0 (1999) from AmiNet now, which seems to be what is needed

PZ.

Fingerlickin_B · 23 September 2010, 16:29

Nope, tried it & no good, even more problems, even earlier in startup the before.

Can't remember what it said, will report more tomorrow....got work in a few hours...time for sleep!

Anyway, I think it has something to do with all the stuff added by Classic WB, so I'll try with plain old 3.1 tomorrow night & see.

Thanks all the same everyone

PZ.

cosmicfrog · 23 September 2010, 19:50

yep fairly sure its something in classicWB
try turning off fblit
or even better start from a basic wb3.1 , which as I now see is what u are going to do

heheheh

zipper · 23 September 2010, 20:57

Fblit clashes with RTG.

fitzsteve · 23 September 2010, 23:33

I could never get classic workbench adv sp to work with rtg. Use the os3.9 pack or the p96 pack they both work.

Fingerlickin_B · 24 September 2010, 00:58

Cool, thanks guys, I was hoping (or dreading?) it would be that simple!
