pciinfo shows two memspaces for the sonnet:

MemSpace0: $5c000000 - $5fffffff
MemSpace1: $40300000 - $40300fff

What is the exact line i should try in MMU-Configuration to inhibit the cache?

Sorry about the photos! I tried rotating them on the phone but eab always seems to display them 90degrees out!

I have tried commenting out virtually all extra stuff from my startup-sequence, but it does not help.

Actually, success with IDLEWOS! It now works!

I think maybe stackattack 32768 was stopping it working!

Nothing else seems to be working though.

Looking at muscan makes me say don't change the mmu config.it is fine now.

Stack attack shouldn't be the problem. I'd rather guess patch control. Does it give any output?

WOSIDLE loads up fine but everything else (gears, blitzqukae) still gives the same instruction storage exception.

Don't forget s:user-startup and sys:wbstartup.

Tested patchcontrol here at it works here. So that's not it. A lot of patches on my system though, :-)

Just comment out EVERYTHING.

IdleWOS probably does not have any PPC code. It just jumps to PPC functions inside the powerpc.library.

I shall try again tomorrow and I'll look in wbstartup. I'm not sure there's anything
In user-startup but I'll have another look!

Thank you for the support so far!

Interesting. However idlewos wasn't working before, it gave the same Exception error as everything else but it now works.

My educated guess would be that there is another patch on LoadSeg() interfering. Good luck tomorrow.

If you look a few pages back is my mmu-configuration file.
My line is:
SetCacheMode from 0x70000000 size 0x0BB00000 CacheInhibit

So for you something like
SetCacheMode from 0x5c000000 size 0x04000000 CacheInhibit

Which I don't know why yours is only showing up as 64MB. Can you post your Showconfig?

I see that users are generally struggling with correct installation of mmu.library + Sonnet libraries. @grelbfarlk since you have that exact setup, could you do document this in a separate article on the wiki?

Hi grelbfarlk, it's a 64mb simm, but are you saying the window should be larger?

I'll post up a showconfig tomorrow evening and report back if disabling more stuff maybe in wbstartup, startup-sequence and user-startup change anything. I'll also see if I can post up some better photos of mmu-configuration, muscan etc without the dodgy rotation!

By the way, what stack sizes should Stuff like blitzquake, quake2, the gears ppc demos have?

The strange thing is that the config file looks manually adjusted. All hex letters are capital letters except for the 0xfffffff next to the sonnet memory entry. Also the size is way to big. Should be 4000000 like Greg says. Then again like I said, the actual setup seems correct now. Don't change it.

Sorry! I should have said! I did manually input that line when I was trying to figure it out after reading grelbfarkls posts a few pages back. It was after this that I commented out all the lines in order to make the MMULibs 68060.library start initialising the sonnet correctly. With the original four lines active only phase 5 060 library would initialise the sonnet.

Sorry for any confusion!

Sure I can do that.

Instead of a photo, if it's not too much trouble from a CLI muscan >RAM:Muscan.txt Showconfig >RAM:Showconfig.txt. Then copy the txt files off and post them, sorry if this is insulting to your skill level but it's just better-unless it's too much of a burden to shovel files off and post them.

I thought you had a 16MB SIMM too? Or are you just using the 64MB?


Gears and Quake GL are not good programs to start with because you are also trying Warp3DPPC at the same time. I would try something like CyberPi to start with since that will peg your CPU at 100% but it doesn't really bang your memory. Then maybe something like Amigenerator or ADoom which will stress the rest of your system (not Warp3d). Then maybe WarpSNES to see if you have AHI set up correctly. Then finally Gears and then QuakeGL for Warp3D.

Not insulting to my skill level at all! When it comes to Amigas my skill level is very low!

I'm just using the 64mb stick at the moment.

Actually, in showing my noob ignorance here - do I need to install WarpUP from aminet? I kind of assumed os3.9 and the sonnet library's PowerPC.library did everything and that that package was purely for cyberstormPPC and blizzardppc?

You don't need the WarpUP archive, there are some demos in it that might be useful for testing.

You might eventually want Frank Wille's ppc.library emulation:
http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/ppclibemu

A few games will want this library:
