First aid for problems with WarpOS ---------------------------------- - Problem: Every demo which opens the powerpc.library, crashes. - Solution: - On systems without PPC board, the env variable 'noPPC' must absolutely be set to a value unequal zero. After that, all demos which are able to run without PPC (but which try to open the powerpc.library) should run. - If the 68060.library of the PowerUp distribution of Phase5 was not installed of if this library causes problems, the problem can be solved with the env variable 'boardtype'. Owner of a CyberStormPPC board should set the variable to 2, owner of a developer board to 1. - Problem: If a demo is started several times in the shell, crashes occur. - Solution: The problem can occur in conjunction with the WShell, which frees signals that were not allocated by itself. The problem can be solved with the env variable 'earlyterm'. If this variable is set to 1, the problems should be solved. Restrictions: no global settings can be made in the shell, which could affect the PPC, so the tools 'stackppc' and 'changemmu' don't work anymore. To set the PPC stack size, you have to use the command 'stack' (the PPC stack is about double the stack size of the 68K stack). - Problem: Since version 1.6 the voxelspace demo doesn't work with Picasso96 anymore. - Solution: The voxelspace supports the OS3.0 multibuffering for Picasso96 since V1.6 to achieve a better display quality. Therefore it is required that an appropriate new version of Picasso96 is installed.
