Freedom by Nova

A500 OCS = OK
A500 ECS = wired behaving on last part scrolling (see pictures)

Well, it works on OCS Ok, but still testing on a real Amiga ECS might solve the dilemma.

Little Mega Demo by Mad Monks

QS A500 OSC (pic.2) / ESC (pic.3) ...

amilo3438 · 28 September 2013, 22:39

New Stuff by The Special Brothers

A500 OCS1.2 0.5mb+0.5mb ... on demo "2" running garbled scrolling text ... ?!

p.s. Possible the dms file could be damaged?!

EDIT: Found an ADF version of Demo Nr. 1 by The Special Brothers ... confirmed working on QS OCS1.2 0.5mb config. (see pic.5)!

I'm not surprised that I managed, though working slowly, end so quickly following 9 pages, because most of the demo was very simple, more like to an intro than demo.

Also, no new problem was found except those already mentioned on few posts before.

p.s.
Perhaps now is a critical point of which no longer makes sense to continue testing.

ECS A500 and A1000 confirmed (just making sure it wasn't some weird A1000 only feature). Need another version to confirm possible corruption.

(Previous two will be tested later)

A500 confirmed. It starts bitplane DMA 1 scanline before setting bitplane pointers = shows random memory contents, possibly nothing visible in some configurations.

Only did real A500 ECS test and it has same glitches. I assume it works on OCS A500. (I don't want to swap Agnus chips too regularly and break the socket)

Megademo by Intuition

A500 OCS/ECS ... scrolling text top pixels?!

p.s. It reminds on Megademo by Royal Amiga Force problem!

No Reality by Devils (DMS)

ADF file found on link !

QS A500 OCS/ECS ... HALT1 on both dms or adf versions?!

EDIT: Pouet discussion!

EDIT2: Confirmed ... It does work if "Cycle-exact=OFF" and "Fastest possible=ON".

Nanotech Mysteries 2 by Limited Edition

QS A500 OCS/ECS ... 2 strange vertical lines appear?!

Well, slowly finished another 5 pouet pages ... link ... and that it would be now >1000 A500 OCS/ECS demos already tested (42 x 25 = >1000).

So now is reached a critical point from where will continuing with testing only those demos that estimate are really worth to be verified ...

Tales of Mystery and Imaginations by Syntex

Also there is link to SYNTEX web DL site

Could not find right configuration to run this demo?! ... (after some loading time got only: 1>)

EDIT:
Cylindric Scroll by Concept

Also found one interesting very simple looking demo but it eats a lot of CPU time ... who knows why ?!
Maybe WinUAE needs some internal optimization or everything is Ok?!

... just thinking ... see on pic. below:

Works for me. (My crystal ball says: do not enable any external drives)

A500 confirmed. Quite weird because overscan isn't that large in this demo.

Nice, but on a real Amiga or what WinUAE config. you have used ?!

I still cant manage to run it on WinUAE b8 QS A500 (most common) ... so?!

That config (1.3 OCS 0.5+0.5M). Make sure DF1: is unticked.

EDIT: note that CLI prompt _should_ appear, it will still continue loading.

Well, this becomes wired ... Still same ... but isnt Quickstart A500 beta 8 (21.09.2013.) (most common) config. by default DF1 unticked?

Yea, right ... stupid me ... it need some more time to wait.

amilo3438 · 01 October 2013, 11:57

Has this been also confirmed on a real A500 ... cant find any info from yesterday:

Megademo by Intuition

No Reality by Devils

Wish to update these late findings on first page together with all other problems to not be forgotten.

p.s. Hope it has not been forgotten by mistake!

Not confirmed but most likely emulation problem. (Not exactly same problem as in RAF demo)

Quote:

No Reality by Devils

Fixed. CE mode CMPA instruction was 2 cycles too slow. (Quite stupid code in demo but because it was stupid, it made the incorrect CMPA timing easy to find

)

Another problem has been solved. Great! Many thanks.

p.s. I have been also check it in older versions of WinUAE and it seems it had never worked before.
