ASM-Pro memory issue

[Toki]

Hi

I'm watching Phaze 101's excellent Amiga Programming course on Youtube. To follow along I've installed ASM-Pro but I'm having problems with chip/fast/public memory. When ASM-Pro loads it gives you the option to set the memory size, a sliding bar etc. Except I don't seem to have this full functionality. I've tried installing Asm-pro on winuae and on my A1200 / '040, but this functionality doesn't seem to work properly.

Does anybody know of any easy solution?

thanks

What version are you using? Do you have reqtools.library installed?

Otherwise see if Assembler (from the menu) -> Preferences -> Environment -> General Parameters -> Show startup win. is unchecked

ASM-Pro will remember your last allocation and it won't ask you again if you disable startup window. Type ! and select restart to start over, which also includes memory allocation.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm using version 1.18. I went into preferences and ticked the "parametres" box. I'not sure it's made any difference. When I restart the window pops up saing that Workspace memory is 2047 kb, Chip memory is 2047 and Fastmem is 0. It doesn't let me increase them.

Once it loads, I am able to type "=m" and add memory. When I type in 3000000kb it responds to say Workspace is now 2096128 kb. So maybe it's all fine and that's all the memory I need???

Not 100% sure what you mean.

When I start AsmPro v. 1.18 it looks like this (after selecting screen mode):



(Note: It seems to max out at 32MB even though I have 128MB configured here).

Are you seeing something different? I'm assuming you actually have fast ram configured/available.

3000000kb for workspace seems a bit excessive You'll probably not need more than a millionth of that.

Is AsmPro still being worked on and developed?

Don't think so. FWIW I use v1.17 since I ran into some issues with 1.18 a few years ago that I don't remember now, and I didn't need the changes.
I mostly crosscompile/assemble though, and only use AsmPro (or AsmOne for 68000 only stuff) when timing/tweaking.

Hi

Yes the popup screen on my A1200 /040 now does look like your screenshot, which is good.

But Winuae still has the problems I previously mentioned. Yes I've got Fastram. I'll have a tweak with it though.

Turns out I didn't have any Fastram in Winuae!

Just shows the solution to most things is often the most obvious.

The pop up window now shows I have Fastram!

Thanks for your help.
