E-UAE Problems

Hi all,
I've tried to run E-UAE several times on my A1-XE with OS4.1, and so far have not been able to do it. Basically, it seems to initialise fine, I get a black window and the debug output lists the screenmodes etc. However, after a couple of seconds I get these two lines:

Illegal instruction: 4e7b at 00f80c38 -> 00f80cc0
Illegal instruction: 4c41 at 00fbd99a -> 00f80ad2

followed by a pause (which I think is the emulation restarting), and then I get a reset at f800d0 message. The window refreshes and it just loops like that...

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I've downloaded the latest version from Richard Drummond's site, reinstalled it, and tried taking a new ROM dump from my A1200, but still no joy. It's a shame, I'd like to run stuff from OS4.1 with Gluae...

Thanks!

No ROM was found...

kickstart ROM's can be found anywhere on the net.

@LiveForIt

I have several ROM images here (which are all dumped from Amigas I own by the way), and my .uaerc file has the following entries for the ROM:

amiga.rom.path=Work:Emulation/UAE/E-UAE_0.8.29-WIP4_SDL/Roms
kickstart_rom_file=Work:Emulation/UAE/E-UAE_0.8.29-WIP4_SDL/Roms/kick40.68.rom

That seems to be the way the readme says it should be configured - have I missed something here?

@Daedalus

maybe you could post your .conf file ?

@Daedalus

I run E-UAE 0.8.29-WIP3 SDL on my MicroA1 on OS4.1.

I have E-UAE installed on my main system partition.
I only have one rom image available.

kickstart_rom_file=SYS:E-UAE/Kick.rom

I have not defined any amiga.rom.path and it works very well for me.

Okay, I found the problem - I was emulating a 68000, and was trying to run Kickstart 3.1. I was sure that combination would work, but for some reason it didn't. Now I have it set to 68020/881 and it's booting fine.

Another issue I'm having now is that it runs fine from the shell, but if I run it from the icon it crashes with a DSI followed by an ISI just as it reads the .uaerc file. The stack in the icon is 64k - the same as my shell, and it's set to launch from shell... Any ideas?

@Daedalus

you need a much higher stack under AOS4.1, like 1'000'000

@Lio

Fair enough, I'll try that when I get home tonight... Just seems strange that the same amount of stack works from the shell, but not from a Workbench icon which launches as Shell...

Thanks for your help guys!

Okay, I've tried upping the stack to 1,000,000 bytes in UAE's icon, and still no joy - still get a crash as soon as it reads the config file. Running from the shell works fine every time...

@Daedalus

Have you tried setting the icon to run from Workbench?

@Raziel

Yeah, that works fine, but I don't get any debug output. It's quite a strange one! But not too major I guess...

@Daedalus

I haven't had the need for debug output since the latest revision of EUAE came out. It never crashed...

Funny enough that most programs or games i tried crashed (if ever) but didn't take down EUAE, so ... no need for debug output

...It's quite a strange one!...
It's been a key feature of E-UAE since day one. Icon for system boot; shell for debug boot. I used E-UAE FreeList years ago.

Oh, I don't mean no debug output when run from Workbench is strange - many programs do that, including apps I've written myself. What is strange is that if you set the icon to run from shell, you do get the debug output but it crashes when it reads the config file, whereas if you run it from a separately opened shell it works fine. Possibly a bug in the startup code, or a bug in the Workbench feature to start programs from a new shell automatically...

@Daedalus

As I indicated in a previous post, I am using E-UAE 0.8.29-WIP3 SDL.

uae-sdl icon is set for stack size 32768
Start from Workbench
