MagiC on MIST

[MasterOfGizmo]

I just fixed a nasty CPU bug that prevented the Magic 6.20 ROM from booting. I've never used MagiC before but it seems it really has a use for the STEroids mode

I've been using the german version MAGIC62D.IMG from http://atari.8bitchip.info/magic62.html

Amazing! Just installed. Works great! Thank you very much.

Now the last thing left on my wishlist is a (16 or more) colour big screen video driver. Christmas?

[MasterOfGizmo]

How much resolution do you consider "big screen"?

Something like 1024x768 @ 16 colors might actually be possible. But definitely not this christmas, sorry.

Sounds good! And next year's easter is definitely good enough

I can't make it work, probably because I didn't figure what to do. I've put the mag62.wd.img in ACSI0 and MAGIC62E as TOS. Then I seen something booting (a yellow wheel turning), and after that 4 bombs with a *** System destroyed *** notice...

Horraaaay! Thanks a lot! MagiC 2.0 worked before, but 6.2 a is a lot nicer/better, esp. for Internet usage. Do you want to have a local delivery of Tannenliebe?

Did you use the latest core?

How cool .

I've just been testing Lua-5.3.0 in Gulam shell started from Magic 6.20 (Steroids mode).

Thanks Till.

Ah, i have the same symptom when using that premade harddisk image.

I have successfully used a harddisk image that i previously prepared under plain tos with ahdi 6.06 and to which i then copied the files from the MAGICD62.ZIP onto it. I then switched to the MAGIC ROM and everything was fine. Dunno what this prepared hd image is ...

ok, thanks for trying it. Yes, I had the latest firmware and core.

I'll be trying this probably tomorrow.

MiST plus MagiC plus Steroids equals a pretty nifty development environment.

Sounds like a good topic for a new youtube vid

Can confirm that this is working great until not using 68020 (= "System destroyed"). Many thanks for that fix!

+1 - That would be a great improvement. Can't wait to checkout MinT then...

Me too! This resolution would be perfect for my purpose. Even monochrome. Using available DIY TFT-Displays, the 1280x1024 resolution is too much.

Maybe this Christmas?
