Do check & double check everything is as it should be, please! Sometimes, just pulling it all apart & reassembling can resolve issues like this & all due to bad contact. ![]() Also, there should be no need to edit any of the CONFIG or exec files from the Archive you download from GitHub. You only need the kickstart ROM on the root of the 32Bit partition where you copied EMU68 files to. |

I'll do tonight, but I didn't move or remove the pistorm, only removed (carefully) the sd card.
Concerning the rom, as I said I'm using a physical 3.2 rom, not a file. thank you all for your help ! |

EMU68 needs a ROM file present on the same FAT32 partition as it's own files or it will not work. Workbench 3.2 ships with ROM files in the archive. Copy the ROM file to the root of the Fat32 partition & name it kick.rom See the link I posted to Wiki earlier https://wiki.amiga.org/index.php?title=Pistorm32-Lite I'm off to work now & won't be home till late evening.... |

I don't know how many times I've solved problems by simply reseating hardware. Accelerators for old CPU sockets are notorious in this regard, it takes so very little to cause a bad connection and just giving it a slight push back can make things work again. Not saying that this is the issue, just saying don't be to quick to brush it off because you think you haven't touched it. Removing an SD card and putting it back can be enough to disturb the connection. |

Cleaning motherboard's side edge connector plates with deoxidizer spray will not harm.

thanks One thing I don't understand, is that I do not have a kick.rom file in my sd card....I didn't erased the files before upgrading, just putting the new files instead. So I don't understand. TOnight I' will also double check the connections of the hardware, but I really have been very carefully... I really think that sending the sd card (and maybe the pistorm itself) to the amiga store i bought it will be easier ![]() |

You don't need a rom file - if it can't find the one specified in the config file or you have commented it out it will use the onboard one. I must have missed where you mentioned you were previously using the physical ROM. You don't really want to do this by choice as it is significantly slower but it will work. Upgrading the EMU68 files in of itself can't explain the issues you are having. Based on the bup test error and that it was working before I'm still suspecting its the connection. It's possible it was marginal before and you removing the SD card moved the pistorm sufficiently to cause a problem. |

Only during the boot time following a power-on. From then on it is in RAM and works as fast as including a file on the SD card. |

[QUOTE=demether;1696000]
![]() This confirms you have a RAM communication error between the Amiga and PiStorm. Best way to solve this would be to clean the Amiga's edge connector with a pencil eraser and then IPA. Then reseat the PiStorm and retry Buptest, if it still fails you might have to leave the PiStorm out 1 or 2mm from the edge connector. |

https://wiki.amiga.org/index.php?title=Pistorm32-Lite It's all I know and have seen so many just grey & dead screens and ALL for not having put a kickfile on the root for being a noob; OMFG!!! If I'd actually known putting # initramfs kick.rom would copy the physical ROM where needed, I'd probably still have hair now & spent less on MicroSD cards for a bonus! ![]() @ demether Any luck fella?

Here we go :
I tried to use the amiga without anything : no ide CF, no pistorm. Just the bare machine. when it launches nothing happen. THe green light is lighted, but no "clic" from the floppy drive, and nothing displayed (black screen). So there is a rom problem apparently, am I right ? |

When you power on, watch the Power LED brightness..... Does it go from Dim to brighter or is it staying the same brightness after powering on? Pressing or wiggling the roms in their respective sockets & then pressing firmly may help alleviate the pink Screen. I've seen RED screens on my Rev 1.5 Re-Amiga before now but resetting gets rid of it. RED screens are usually ROM issues afaik. |

it stays bright. I tried to plug and unplug, nothing new happening. Would it be a solution to put a software rom instead of the physical one ?

If so.... If it stays bright, you might not be seeing the subtle change from dim to "brighter". There are two stages for the LED brightness.... Dim for about 1 to 2 seconds when powering on & then you should see it get brighter once the basic system check routines are done. It might sit there for 30 seconds looking for a hard drive (certainly on 3.1 ROM) if there isn't a drive on the internal 44pin header & then you should get the ROM screen on RGB output. Out of the door for work now. Good luck! ![]() |

You don't have to remove the physical ROM's on the motherboard for this. But does the Amiga go to the kickstart screen when the PiStorm is disconnected ? And what revision A1200 do you have ? On Discord there's somebody with A1200 1A revision that's having trouble with newer builds of Emu68. Revision of number of your A1200 is printed on the motherboard near the edge connector. |

I tried the amiga "naked" (no ide, no pistorm) and the result is no kickstart splash screen...just a black screen.

Don't know how long you've waited but without anything connected the time out for floppy and IDE are quite long.
Can take up to 30 sec before it will show the kickstart screen with nothing connected but the essentials. |

I had similar problem to this and in the end I sent it back to the Amiga seller for replacement and they confirmed it was faulty
