MCP troubles..?

Error · 20 January 2004, 17:15

Anyone encountrered problems with MCP 1.42 / 1.43?

I am not sure if it's MCP's bug [the project has been resumed by someone new heh] but when it's about to be launched [during startup sequence], my UAE screen flashes with random colors and system freezes...

I am not sure on which side the problem could be, but I am sure that both versions [seem to] work on my Amiga without any bigger problem...

See You around

I think what m0 was trying to get at was, What the hell is an MCP?

ouch

sorry

. I was thinking about Master Control Program [if that's what You need

]... such a can-do-allot commodity

I'm not surprised, it's a nasty hardware hitting pile of crap, it causes too many problems to be worth the hassle.

Use MultiCX (aminet) instead, that has almost the same features, but done in a more system friendly way, and it works with UAE, just drop it in the wbstartup drawer.

I've updated MCP from 1.42 to 1.43 and my WinUAE Workbench config still work perfectly. Just delete the mcp.config file and boot the emulator with mcp running but without commodities and patches activated, then enable them one by one until you get the commodity/patch that cause the system to freeze. Other solution is to renameing the config file (so the system will not load it) then load it into mcp prefs and save it. In this way a possible incompatibility issue between config files will be solved.

Would be fine if it worked anyway

I have a system configured to handle different environments [separate for amithlon, separate for uae and one more for real amiga], and I used to launch MCP right after a couple of assigns and patchcontrol. even if I disable all but hotkeys it still crashes [could it be that?], if I remove it completely WinUAE boots just fine..

anyways I will give MultiCX a chance. perhaps it will be even more suitable for me [I use almost nothing from MCP]

btw, anyone knows some 100% system friendly "lefty mouse" program? none I found works with Magic Menu...

Thanks a lot for suggestions! See You around

MultiCX is a godsend. I got onto it by Severin's recommendation and it has to be the cleanest, best patch control tool there is. I kept MCP only for its mode promoting but I think I already got rid of it already. MCP kept making my machine crash, now it doesnt happen anymore!

Get rid of that piece of shit for good, specially if you don't use most of its "features"!

I knew something stinks... thanks for Your advices

. I used MCP for long long time and had occassional, random crashes... but I thought these are my faults [except for 50% of crashes which happened due to unknown reason

right after I launched editor and started to develop some code...] anyways, now as I know it for good that it ain't any bugfree ;D... besides, anyone noticed that it's been developed by a man who's in basic alternatively only?.. sounds to me like xvs.library, whose "new" author learnt assembly language from xvs's code hahaha

Cheers friends

Is the MultiCX author still taking registrations or has it been abandoned? It seems the last update was in 98.

I almost made it to remove MCP from my system completely... it's just the swapbuttons that still doesn't work in os-friendly way [or is it magicmenu that handles rmb improperly?

]

Anyways, many thanks for idea

it's much better and much smaller

Cheers!
