Guru with ShapeShifter and Blizzard 1260

tygre · 21 July 2015, 20:59

Hi all!

I have a recap'ed A1200 with a Blizzard 1260 and an Indivision AGA as well as a EtherLink III PCMCIA card. It works fine

but I cannot manage to run ShapeShifter

I boot the Amiga and press the two mouse buttons:
If I run PrepareEmul, nothing happens;
If I run PrepareEmul A1200, the Amiga reboots and display a yellow screen after rebooting;
In both previous cases, if I run ShapeShifter, I receive a visit of Guru 8000 003D.

What should I do?

Cheers!

Try another PrepareEmul equivalent. If you use BlizKick there is a module that can be used. If you use MMULib the use its PrepareEmul replacement. In all cases reading the docs seems to be a must.

Shapeshifter itself could be the problem. Some switch or not supported MAC Rom or ...

I don't know what happens with my Sys4Aga installation but it hangs when I try to run PrepareEmul.

In my AKReal 8.5 I've got preinstalled ShapeShifter. On WinUAE I've used MorpheuZ/Preferences/CPU to use an 060 and then added a B1260 (just to try your specs). Then I've added a Mac HD, the ShapeShifter Prom, a Mac rom and also some Mac Games from the file server.... It works very well as long as you use 16 colors or less. You can try Prince of Persia (if you've got MMU you can use the MuEvd external monitor as I do with my ACA30/56).

Anyway I don't know how to use more colors as it shows a distorted screen, maybe I was using a bad Mac rom.

Hi daxb and Retrofan!

Thanks for your suggestions, I will try other PrepareEmul programs and also in my AKReal install and, hopefully, it will work in one of these cases and I'll be able to track my problem from there

I'll keep you posted!

Thanks!

you should use mmulib http://aminet.net/util/libs/MMULib.lha and http://aminet.net/util/sys/Mu680x0Libs.lha there is tool which can do prepareemul and also remap some staff like exec.library and expansion.library, supervisor stack to FAST ram. Check this out.

Nice, I didn't know. But then it would crash the same to him?

Well, it's just to try it.

Hi all!

Just to close this thread: after some many reboots

, I found that I must use PrepareEmul at the very beginning of the MODULES list of BlitzKick and also avoid other patches like MCP... Using OneTouchMac ShapeShifter runs like a charm!

Thanks and take care!

If you find a copy of Fusion, you can run a newer version of MacOS than you can with SS.

I haven't tried OneTouchMac, thanks for the tip.
