ShapeShifter PrepareEmul

[Sebiohazard]

Hello everyone !

I have a problem with FS-UAE & PrepareEmul which is needed for ShapeShifter to work.

I edited the "startup-sequence" like this:



But when I restart the WB I have a black screen, nothing happens ? With WinUAE there is an option to activate for it to work, how to proceed with FS-UAE ?

Greetings

[Retro1234]

Is this any help https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php...t=PrepareEmulp

On my A1200 it was "PrepareEmul A1200"

[Sebiohazard]

Hello thank you for your help !

I tried with the argument "A1200" but same problem the WB does not boot anymore ?

I specify I am on FS-UAE not on a real machine

Greetings !

[fryguy]

if you just run it once manually, does it work then?

[Sebiohazard]

Manually ? That's to say ?

[fryguy]

I mean if you open Shell and type PrepareEmul A1200 and reboot.

EDIT: maybe it won't work, seems like it has to be run from S-S.

[Sebiohazard]

I don't know it's not practical to type the command all the time... otherwise I heard about "RsrvWarm" which would be an alternative to PrepareEmul...

You know ? Do you know how to use it ?

[Seiya]

with WinUAE (and i think FSUAE) not more needed to use "PrepareEmul A1200". I never used and i run ShapeShifter with no problem.

[Sebiohazard]

What is your setup ? Can you upload the file here ?

you have to enable "Shapeshifter support" in emulator settings

[Sebiohazard]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh but you are using WinUAE !!! I am with FS-UAE this option does not exist...

[Retro1234]

Never used FS-UAE has it got quickstart setups like WinUae?

[giantclam]

...I'm actually building from a clone of github fs-uae so thought I'd have a glimpse at this...

...short answer: No, I don't think fs-uae has this functionality currently....

....from what I can see, 'src/memory.cpp' includes a patch to allow shapeshifter a memory address to live in, however this doesn't seem to be exposed to userland right now....

....this is me guessing wildly, but historically the only Amiga model for which shapeshifter applied, would be the A4000T toaster -- in fs-uae that model designation maps to 'Unknown Amiga' as it's not an internally supported model configuration...yet... =)

[Sebiohazard]

Otherwise I heard about "RsrvWarm" which would be an alternative to PrepareEmul...

You know ? Do you know how to use it ?

[giantclam]

All I know about that, is bottom of http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=40073&styleid=4

[Seiya]

you want to use fs-uae to emulate amiga to emulate mac. Maybe you should try to emulate directly Mac with Basilisk II or Sheepshaver

[Sebiohazard]

Yes it's called nested emulation... with WinUAE I can do it very well why not with FS-UAE ?!

[giantclam]

It's because the target audience for each emulator is different --- see/read https://www.lemonamiga.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17224

[Sebiohazard]

I found the solution on another Amiga forum I share it with you here:

You must place the RsrvWarm file in the C folder of the WB then edit the "startup-sequence" by replacing the first line where there is PrepareEmul by:

C:RsrvWarm -f

I attach the file as an attachment greetings !

[mark_k]

You can also patch your Kickstart ROM image so the start of chip memory is set to a higher address, then no need for PrepareEmul.
