Because Radeon has its own VRAM (also Mediator buffer is in Radeon RAM), Voodoo3 have full VRAM for applications (16MB VRAM). |

The Radeon driver W3D driver (Hyperion) is dependent on the R200 2D driver (Aeon), that's the problem.

I understand that Hyperion is not a charity organization, but don't understand why they don't want my money. And very sad that Hyperion don't want make AOS4.1 for "Sonnet cards". I have AOS4.1 Final Edition on Blizzard PPC, and this system have few things amazing for me, like: - near prefect and fast emulator of SNES - great and fast emulator PSX (playable with sound on CyberStorm PPC, and without sound on Blizzard PPC) - .mp4 video player - M.A.C.E,- wonderfull shooter - WWW browser Power of "Sonnet cards" with G4 450mhz, or G3 800mhz with 256MB or 384MB are much more that every Blizzard PPC or CyberStom PPC have, and much more ram that the fastes and expensive CyberStormPPC.. Have potential, have driver, have OS but don't have enough goodwill- sadly.. Last edited by BULI; 10 April 2022 at 22:43. |

I don't think that AOS4.x is still in active development. Arguably development slowed down massively in 2012, probably when they were still hoping to shift some Amiga X1000s. They then realized that the Amiga NG dream was never coming true and went into maintenance mode.
The last "real" version that came out was in 2014, then two minor patches came out in 2018 and 2020 but nothing else. It would be great to have AmigaOS4 for Sonnet.library cards, though. It would be an inexpensive way for most of us to finally get it on real hardware. |

There was a short time that it was possible. Sadly, also here parts were moved to AEon (ExecSG, amongst others).

I'm not saying that AEon is the culprit here btw. Just that the stuff (sources) and rights are all over the place.
I was thinking at that time using the OS3 boot loader together with the non classic parts of OS4 as the chip set is out of reach for the PPC on the PCI bus. So everything non-PCI should be provided by USB. Including HDD. Effectively making the Amiga a big dongle. |

On the same note, it should be possible to boot a Lunix on the PPC in much the same way, using a PCI SCSI (maybe IDE) and USB. Just make sure the PPC hasn't booted yet and you don't initialize the PCI.library. I've written about this before but just because we're on the topic again.

How do you load and start the kernel?
(Fun note, I looked at the Haiku kernel for inspiration for the WOS kernel inside the sonnet library. But only for startup, exception vectors and context switching) |

So, the firmware supports these HDD controllers. I only had a weird OEM version of a 53C810 and it refused to see the disks on it. I was meaning at some point to find a generic Symbios Logic PCI card to try again... some day. But basically I plug in a serial cable to the Ragnarok, open up Term on an AGA screen and it's sitting at the PPCBug boot menu. You select S (for system startup) instead of D (for diagnostics) and you can select your controller and boot device which gets saved on the NVRAM on the board.

On my BlitzQuake setup, and when Workbench have high resolution desktop and more bitmaps in system and VRAM is smaller, Quake GL have problem with smooth animation (I will show video soon). |

Moving to this thread again. Still not everything is running, but making good progress on my:
AA3000+ Voodoo 3 Apocalypse 128MB Warp3D gearsPPC & 6k work Wipeout works Payback works WOS & Warp3D, but screen flickers a bit (in none PC screenmode, not tried PC screenmode yet) But Quake 1 (Latest Blitzquake) & 2 (Latest Cowcat) won't run. BlitzQuake 68k works fine BlitzQuake PPC gives me Data Storage PPC exceptions Quake2 gives me either grey screen, no screen (display cuts out) or similar Data Storage PPC exceptions. AHI not installed (yet), but I cannot imagine that's the issue, since BlitzQuake 68k runs and also has the -ahi switch when executed. Update: With AHI installed, BlitzQuake PPC started working! However Quake2 is still a no go. This is driving me nuts. I ran fine (apart from overheating crashes) on my A4000 Mediator setup. Last edited by spudje; 29 March 2022 at 17:55. |

@spudje
All stuff that needs to be running on Sonnet alike hardware needs AHI to run. For Q2 check if snd_paula.dll is there and remove it: Use only snd_ahi.dll. Hopefully you run my BlitzQuake and not the old-old-old from Aminet (that is broken for warpos). Maybe a look to SnoopDos while you try to run the games? |

Spudje: you mentioned non-PC screenmodes. I think you should stick to PC screenmodes as they are much more compatible.
