GFX MSX problem

OSH · 25 November 2003, 15:26

I have much problems with WinUAE:

v 0.8.22.r9
1. Always, when I save on PC-Floppy (real) and WinUAE is running in background, the WinUAE crash. This appear in WinUAE 0.8.21 and newer. (older are OK).
2. When I run Delitracker for MP3/MOD playing, and I scroll something (for example any mail in YAM, I get cracklingsound. I don't know why? (Sound Buffer is 7, Direct Primary Soundbuffer is marked) CPU cache ist set to 8MB. I have Athlon 1GHz.
3. Sometimes, when I scroll text file in Opus, and I switch to WB screen, everything on WB-Background is shredded. Why?

Maybe Athlon 1 Ghz is just not fast enough for perfect sound emulation and scrolling.

But I do remember that installing rtg.library from the WinUAE package over the one in libs: gave better performance. You can find this file in the directory Amiga Programs. You should give that a try.

Also if you use ahi then update the drivers with the ones in Amiga Programs. For perfect emulation, create a text file
envarc:ahi_minbufflen
and this textfile should contain only the numeber 1

About the screen corruption, maybe enlarge the screen memory.
I used 4mb before, this gave problems. Then I decided to use 8mb, which worked much better.

Hope this helps

That can't be true, since all runs smooth in my P3-866

Probably your sound card is to fault? which one is it?

I haven't any soundcard. I have AC97. Can this cause problems with sound?
