whdload + black screen

[Kawazu]

Have not tried whdload for a long time and since my last try i have now installed a promethus/voodoo3/pci network

And now 90% of the whdload games have stoped working, most of them give me a black screen but some ( like super frog) runs just fine.

I do now know if there is a tcp/ip stack running in the background and i dont know how to check it?

I have a legit cd-key for whdload.

Have not changed anything with the whdload settings or anything like that. Just put in new hardware.

Any sugestions?

Removed the voodoo 3 card from the prometheus and now it works.

But i dont want to remove the card every time i want to play whdload games.

I have heard somthing about settings the INIT on the voodoo 3 to off, how do i do this?

I don't have Prometheus but Mediator. In anyway I don't need to remove my Voodoo3 each time :wooha: and also the INT variable is set to YES.

Do you remember if WHDLoad games runs fine in the past?

You can post the prefs file of your WHDLoad config?

 

[Justin]

what version of WHDLoad are you running?

when i had this problem, it turned out to be the ip stack, it must be turned off completely, there's a post on here about it somewhere (i'll do a search later)

 

[Justin]

yep, ok so i just checked back through some notes.

any TCP/IP stack will have this effect on WHDLoad, you must make sure these is no stack running, i seem to remember i had to remove the references to it from my startup

The WHDload games ran just fine in the past before it installed the prometheus and still does if i remove the voodoo 3 card.

I have not changed the prefs for whdload at all so they are default.

Yes i know, i found your thread about the subject and i linked it in my original post.
The thing is that i do not think there is any tcp/ip stack running, if there where it would not work directly when i remove the voodoo 3 card would it?

 

[Justin]

doesn't the TCP/IP stuff get it's memory from the graphics card? so no graphics card, no memory, no TCP/IP?

are you using os3.9? i believe that has a TCP/IP stack built in?

 

[keropi]

but you gotta turn usb stack on/off
there are 3 things that get in whdload's way AFAIK

• tcp/ip stack
• usb stack
• voodoo interupts from picasso96 rtg system

 

[Kawazu]

Smal update: I transferd back up backup installation and whdload worked right away with the voodoo still in the machine but not configured in picasso.

But when i added the prometheus in the picasso96 and restarted the same thing started to happen again.

And how do i turn these off?

 

[keropi]

tcp stack: you need to run GENESIS , this is where you turn it on/off
usb stack: do you even have usb in your system? poseidon is what it controls it
picasso96 voodoo: you need to alter the voodoo icon tooltypes

mind you it has been years since I really messed with an amiga (don't even own one currently, so I cannot explain you the exact procedure...)

But i dont have any voodoo icon or anything like that, all i have is the prometheus icon in my dev folder.

There is no TCP/IP stack running, the damn thing work as long as i dont active the prometheus/voodoo in picassoPrefs.

And ofc i dont have an USB

I know that you can edit some stuff with the voodoo if you have a mediator but i have found no such information about the prometheus.

This is what i got on my prometheus icon.

(Borderblank= System)
(MemeroyClock=0)
(Quite)
Bigsprite=NO
BoardType=Prometheus
DisplayChain=NO
FakeNativeModes=NO
FontsFix=NO
GrantDirectAccess=NO
IgnoreMask=NO
NoBlitter=NO
NoPlanar2ChunkyBlits=NO
Overklock=NO
SettingsFile=SYSevs/picasso96settings
SoftSprite=NO
System2ScreenBlitz=NO

Dont know what any of those options do.

 

[Justin]

try yes on the fake native modes option

is there a monitor type in your DEVS drawer?

A3000T
No need for a scandoubler

Please do, do you think there is some difference in the picasso version or somthing like that?
If you read on this side
http://www.whdload.de/docs/en/bugs.html
You can see that the INT signal thingi is fixed if you have the latest whdload and that i have so it should not be a problem. But who knows.
