Sonnet 7200 PCI programming - Page 83

Cego · 03 February 2018, 09:46

i‘m gonna make a complete fresh install later today. i have a lot of patches on my system and old drivers for hardware which got removed in the process. the problem could be anywhere. so i’m sorry for not being able to be more specific. system crashes while browsing in ibrowse, running ppc-gears (at the 2nd or 3rd try), playing wipeout. so i really can’t tell.

i am using the pci.library v13 and the sonnet drivers from aminet. funny thing is, there’s no env:sonnet config
Should i probably try v12 of pci lib? is that one more stable?

first of all i‘ll make a fresh install and report again. thank you!

I sent you the latest sonnet driver yesterday. What happened to that?

that is strange. i checked my emails several times yesterday. your e-mails appeared just now. i‘ll test it as soon as im home! thank you!

On another note: Voxelspace has been running for an hour now on my A1200 with a Sonnet installed. Still some ways to go, but it keeps on looking promising. I hope to hear from Elbox soon regarding their address range fix.

When MMU=yes the Zorro2 windows slides automatically (when in user mode). However, this is setup for $80000000-$A0000000. All kinds of weird stuff happens with WarpOS programs with 'negative' addresses. I asked them to also define a window in unused space ($10000000) on the A1200. They are working on it.

Looking at your video on A1K shows me you have 24MB installed. This is not enough for stuff like WipeOut and such.

Cego · 03 February 2018, 17:36

yeah, right now i have 48MB installed on the Sonnet. I ordered some new 64MB Dimms from ebay. They should arrive within the next week hopefully.

Hedeon · 03 February 2018, 17:48

Which 64MB Dimms?

Hedeon: if you do get powerpc.library working with the 1200TX, you deserve a medal!

Cego · 03 February 2018, 20:06

i bought one of these: https://www.ebay.de/itm/162065692999

Cego · 03 February 2018, 20:18

can somebody tell me how to get WarpDatatypes running? The installer complains that my WarpUp version is too old.
I haven’t installed any of the WarpOS stuff yet.

Hedeon · 03 February 2018, 20:31

Put the warp.library in LIBS: from the original WarpUp archive and remove it again after installation of WarpDT. The installer of WarpDT physically tests for LIBS:warp.library and LIBS: powerpc.library.

Or just install for 060 and copy the WarpOS datatypes over it.

Installing the datatypes will result in that the Sonnet needs to be started during your startup-sequence. See Wiki. I only recommend this when your system is stable.

Cego · 03 February 2018, 21:04

Thanks Hedeon! It worked

Btw, it seems that the crashes are gone. i removed a 16MB Dimm and nothing bad happened yet.

pci.library 13.1 is now availkable from Elbox. Is there a reason non Sonnet/Raprtue users should upgrade or not?

Crossfire2, Payback, Shogo, Hexen2, Quake3 and two FPSE WOS games tested and described in my article HERE.

Rapture only works 13.1 and up. 13 and up does not seem to work on my A1200 with a 060. Currently, I'm testing the sonnet on the A1200 with 12.

Always great to read your reviews! I haven't got time to test quake 3 myself since alpha 4 I think, but I'm amazed how far it has progressed, wow. Thanks Cowcat!! Some magazine attention would be cool on this.

@Hedeon

Without a Sonnet driver Q3 is an anecdotal slideshow

, or his cousin OpenArena (few know that changing one var on makefile you have OA - but that's another issue)

Amiga 1200 + G4 running Q3: Could be the WTF of the year.
That is a Magazine front cover.
