UPDATE:

Well, now the black screen happens with OS4pre4 partition too. This brings the HW explanation back into game, what do you think?

However, if I wait about 1 minute, the black screen turns to OS4 desktop. How come? I am confused. The boot takes longer than on WinXP now, heh.

@tonyw

XE, thanks!

@joerg

YAY! Thanks! The Wipeout2097 works, finally!!! The problem was I never did a cold reboot before booting into pre4 so the OS4Final Kickstart modules were in memory. That's why Wipeout2097 didn't work even in pre4 environment.

I will try HereticII with the ixemul later. Thanks again!

Btw. what about Shogo? No go? Anyone?

@AmiGame

Change the following values according to your monitor specification:

VSYNCMIN
VSYNCMAX
HSYNCMIN
HSYNCMAX

It helped here.

@walkero

Thanks! I reinstalled meanwhile. I will try your suggestion as soon as it goes wrong again.

Btw. the HDD led cable is not connected, where it goes? Is there a scheme picture somewhere? God, what a noob I am

I already downloaded the OS4 updates. While the Freespace works, the QuakeII does not.

@Chris
I have Radeon7000

@nubechecorre
Where can I find OS4 compatible ixemul library please?

QuakeII reports "Error: couldn't load baseq2/pics/colormap.pcx". But the files is there. Here's the Snoopy log.

Yes, but I have OS4pre4 installed on the other bootable partition and the HereticII, QuakeII and Wipeout2097 don't work anyway. I don't remember trying the Shogo OS4pre4 but I will.

I purchased several PPC games recently but somehow I am unable to run them under OS4 Final. The only game I managed to install and run successfully is Freespace. Terrific atmosphere and smooth with the highest details set.

However the others crashes or simply don't work:

HereticII crashes when asking for registration details at the end of its installation. First it complained about missing ixemul48 which I then installed. Now it crashes. I tried to blacklist that library but it did not help.

Shogo crashes on installation.

Wipeout2097 doesn't work or crashes, even on OS4pre4.

QuakeII, I successfully followed the instructions here but it complains about missing gfx file even though the file is there.

Anyone have these games running under OS4? I'd be grateful for any suggestion.

Do you really think it's a battery? I see no reason (yet) why it should be a HW problem. I have fresh OS4pre4 installed on the other bootable partition and it always boots up.

I copied the default monitor settings - still no go.

Thanks for the replies. The gfx is radeon7000 and filesystem DOS\7 FFS. PartitionWizard reports the disk as OK. What else can cause it? Hmmm....

Hello,

I have installed cygnix yesterday and the OS4 doesn't boot anymore. I always end up with black screen. I tried to boot with no startup, execute the startup-sequence manually and I ended up with white screen with the OS4 bar on the top. Nothing more. My startup-sequence has not been altered. Only some assigns were added to user-startup. I deleted new files in envarc: - with no success. I restored original OS4 prefs files in envarc:sys - with no success.

It happened even before (and I did not install cygnix at that time). I copied os4 backup back to SYS: with - no success. I had to completely reinstall.

Any idea, please? I don't want to re-install again. Thanks!

EDIT: typo

@GuruMeditation

Windows98 is the problem probably as WinUAE doesn't support it anymore.

You might want to contact Toni Wilen (the author of WinUAE) for additional help or try to use some earlier version of WinUAE.
