I'm getting a Cyberstorm PPC and I like to try this. Can someone upload this please or is that against EAB's rules?

AMIGAZ · 09 April 2007, 09:12

Ahh..you're going PowerUP, congrats!

I'm highly interested in IFusion too

The manafacturer is long gone so is their wepgage so I'm quite sure it's no harm uploading it

Flashlab · 09 April 2007, 10:08

Yep, now I have a new challenge; PPC on Amiga!

I'm really unexperienced with PPC. The whole WarpOS vs. PowerUP thing confuses me and I don't know what I can do with it yet...

But I do know I want to try MorphOS. It should be possible to use it with my setup.

It's not so confusing as you think

, PowerUP was Phase 5 PPC "driver", then Haage & Partner made their stuff called WarpUP (WarpOS) which was a competing PPC driver...WarpUP eventually "won" and most PPC apps/stuff use WarpOS
You can run both WarpUP/PowerUP apps bu installing PPCLibEMU which emulates PowerUP on a WarpUP system

MOS PUP is great, should run fine on your system and you also have a PIV which should be more than enough.
I use to run MOS PUP with my CybervisionPPC but now I'm using a Cybervision 64/3D...works quite well but it has it's limitations

Flashlab · 09 April 2007, 11:34

Yeah I know about the WarpOS PowerUP history. Typical Amiga situation!

Anyway you're running MOS too? Doesn't the PIV have similar limitations as your CV64/3D? They are pretty the same in specs?

The PIV has a faster GPU, memory and bus

Only thing which they share is the same amount of video mem and that they both work in ZII and ZIII machines

Flashlab · 09 April 2007, 12:12

Ah ok!

I was already investigating looking for a CV-PPC, Mediator or G-Rex. But I don't really want to lose the excellent SD/FF feature of my PIV. I'm gonna try MOS with the PIV first.

Just curious; do you know if you can combine a PIV and any other VGA card in one Amiga to use one monitor in such a way that it auto switches for every screenmode? I guess you need an automatic VGA switch, but can you make Picasso96 or CGX do it?

If you mamnage to find a g-rex Keropi has a solution for an auto switching solution between a videoslot scandoubler and the gfx card

Remember MOS doesn't work with a Mediator 4000, if you get a CvisionPPC there's aways nice electronic monitor switches...I'm using one myself with high end gold plated VGA cabes
Didn't want to use my CV64/3D scandouber modue since it's not fully 24bit

that's why I'm using a monitor switcher on this machine

Please, does anyone have IFusion? ...pretty please

Flashlab · 09 April 2007, 12:23

So no Mediator, hehe!

Getting back to topic (sort of): is there a mac emulator for MOS?

What are MOS killer apps?

kriz · 09 April 2007, 12:58

Mos killer apps ; Mplayer, Aminet Radio (also 68k, but much more enjoy able), mame, showgirls. But I use a peg2 .. Fun to try on the classic anyways

@Flashlab, Amigaz
iFusion PPC V1.0 + updates in the Zone! Enjoy!

Note: I think iFusion will only work with A3/4000 + Cyberstorm PPC because Jim Drew never resolved critical bugs that prevented it working on PPC equipped A1200s.

Amazing! thanks alot

Flashlab · 09 April 2007, 16:09

Thanks a lot, DrBong! Can't wait to try!

Now let me ask this: is it really that bad?

DrBong · 09 April 2007, 17:55

@Flashlab
That bad? How do you mean? From memory, it was fairly usable on A4000 + Cyberstorm when I tried it way back when. Wasn't a picnic to set up, though. Try it out and let us know what you think.

cv643d · 09 April 2007, 18:13

I never tried it myself but I remember that it was a horrible product when it was released. Do not remember exactly why, but I think it was unstable, crashed a lot and did not work with network cards. Oh and it cost about 200 euro I think... crazy!

Flashlab · 09 April 2007, 18:14

I read that is slow. Not like the original Fusion that is as fast as the Mac that it's emulating with the same 68k.

And no networking; so no internet.

But I'll try and see for myself!

AMIGAZ · 09 April 2007, 18:33

No networking sucks, gonna try with some apps and games

Now I can also add a new Mac HD icon on my desktop...

Flashlab · 09 April 2007, 19:30

Have you got it running already Amigaz?

Couldn`t find a PPC-MAC-Rom that works with iFusion. Could someone upload such a rom to the zone please. That would be great. Thanks.

Bye
