P96 Native issues on OS 3.2

What happens if you start the Native monitor driver manually from WB?

just tried and nothing happens..why is something supposed to happen?

That could mean that there is a start order (or race condition) problem with something else. At least it seems that the manual start of the Nativ monitor driver works.

Yes you do unless it has an EC030? Just make the changes to your startup-sequence as described in the manual.

"SetCPU cache“................... Cache (Data and Instruction cache) on
"SetCPU nocache“................. Cache (Data and Instruction cache) off
"SetCPU data cache“.............. Data cache on
"SetCPU data nocache“............ Data cache off
"SetCPU fastrom“................. MAPROM on
"SetCPU nofastrom“............... MAPROM off
"SetCPU cache fastrom“........... Cache and MAPROM on

Nothing is supposed to happen. The only thing this "driver" does is to enable the P96 software blitter, and load P96. That's it. There is no visible difference. This "driver" is so elementary there is not much that can go wrong. It just sets "ENV:Picasso96/PlanesToFast" to "Yes", and "ENV:Picasso96/DisableAmigaBlitter" to "Yes", and then opens the rtg.library. That's really it. All the magic happens within P96, aka the rtg.library.

@ alexh


thanks I have a full cpu so added SET CPU fastrom to my S-S and system booted with no error but as soon as I added the Native monitor driver in my DEVS:monitors same thing with the constant re-booting...take Native out and all is fine

@ Thomas Richter

sounds good to me but my Amiga 1200 with 030 refuses to boot up with that little file in the DEVS:monitors with the the latest P96 and Update 3.2.1

Try removing the upgrade of the graphics.library, then check again.

renamed the graphics.library but same issue

[klx300r]

I'm now getting 'LoadModule failed return code 10' for the first time ever

Haven't done anything to my system...last thing was I removed the Native file from my DEVS:monitors to get it booting again all ok..today got this error....tried removing the Set CPU fastrom from my S-S since that's the only other thing I have done to my system last few days but still getting LoadModule failed??

[Thomas Richter]

First, the SetCPU command better goes into SYS:Trashcan. If you want ROM to RAM mapping, use MuFastROM. Second, if the command line of LoadModule explicitly contains the graphics.library then of course it fails if you renamed the file.

ah lol yes couldn't find an older graphics.library in older Picasso96.lha on aminet and forgot to rename it back where can I find an older version?


Ok SetCPU command is no go

graphics.library is in ROM. Just remove it from the LoadModule command.

@klx300r btw., please tell us which P96 you’re using exactly.

I thought I need that to use the P6g native driver

No. Thomas still suspects a bug in graphics.library shipped with AmigaOS3.2.1. By removing it from the Loadmodule line, the version from AmigaOS3.2 will be used, since your are using a 3.2 V47.96 ROM, IIRC.

Are we confusing AmigaOS and P96 version numbers here?

@ bubbob42

ok thanks for the help removed graphics library from LoadModule line in S-S and now system boots fine with Native in Devs:Monitors so looks like the graphics.library was to blame afterall

That’s only one possible interpretation, but now we at least have something we can possibly reproduce and investigate.

Does this work okay with ClassicWB or is there a clash with FBlit installed? Would there be much of a difference made to the screen update?
