RunInUAE : WHDload & JIT
Just popping in
Just popping in


See User information
I`m trying to run the whdload version of "Alien Breed 3D II: The Killing Grounds".

As the WB starts, just before whdload splash window, the JIT led is green. When the whdload game is loaded, the JIT led turns to red.

The JIT part needs an 68020 to kick in, the game requires AGA chipset and at least a MC68020 processor, so it should be OK. UAE starts with JIT enabled (as I see the JIT green led flickering, just before the whdload starts).

Is it something that I`m missing? How can I enable JIT to CPU demanding games?

I`m using E-UAE_1.0.0_AmigaOS4-amigfx E-UAE 1.0.0 (Jan 1 2015), RunInUAE 1.8 (31/03/2018), Kickstart 53.89, Workbench 53.15 (28/12/2016) .

If JIT is flashing then JIT is working, maybe you try increases JIT cache.

Not every game or program will work with JIT, there are some cases where JIT cache get flushed too often I believe,

What whdload slave version do you use?

WHDLoad 18.6 [build 6128] (22/09/2020)

@LiveForIt
Didn`t work increasing the JIT cache from 8192 to 16384 bytes. A further increase of cache (32768), turned off the JIT LED (black).
Maybe you`re right about the JIT cache flushing.

Is there anybody that managed to run "Alien Breed 3D II: The Killing Grounds" with JIT enabled?

it probably doesn't help much
i use the 4.1FE with winuae and the jit works with the killing ground 3D II
the configuration of e-uae is similar to the one posted by Raziel but I also tried his and it works.

It would help if you could post your .uaerc, so we can rule out some setting mashup

Also, what hardware are you using?

And what WHDLoad slave version?

Isn`t supposed to be hardware agnostic? Are there specific hardware known problems?
Anyhow, it`s a SamFlex440@800.

The installer is the latest version, I think : Version 1.1 (01.04.2011) by Psygore.

The JIT compiler works with cpu grunt, the lower your cpu power the less the JIT can gain...

I haven't tried this, but i see two problems in your .uaerc

The WHDLoad install info says that the game needs
Quote:

That install applies to "Alien Breed 3D II: The Killing Grounds" © 1996 Team 17

It requires:
- WHDLoad 17+
- 368 KB ChipMem & 1.5 MB other memory (2MB version)
- 884 KB ChipMem & 2.4 MB other memory (4MB version)
- AGA chipset and at least a MC68020 processor


You don't set any fastmem
Quote:

fastmem_size=0

and you have the ECS chipset set
Quote:

chipset=ecs


Try with fastmem_size=8 and chipset=aga

btw. (edit) --- heh, that was the other thread
That is what i meant with "try to boot the workbench" in RuninUAE, you can make out any kinf od problems from there *and* you get far better feedback from WHDLoad (e.g. if there's not enough ram etc.)

So your problem is that the jit-led is red or that the game does not run at all?
I just tested AB3d2 from whdownload.com and the jit-led was red for me also but it worked and runs good on my X5000.

Then i tested to set the cpu_type to 68040 and now the jit-led is flashing green.

You are looking at the wrong config file.
.uaerc_RunInUAE is the config file to fiddle with in this case and the settings are quite good. :)

But as i said in my previous post when setting the cpu_type to 68040 the jit-led is green in AB3d TKG.

Ah, yes...i have my cpu setting at 040, so that's why it probably didn't hit me

You nailed it! I changed the CPU to 68040 and the JIT works ingame.
Thank you all for the feedback.
