When I changed the NVRAM of my (otherwise stock) Falcon, I realized it doesn't boot if the rear shielding (the metal plate that covers the plastics where all the connectors are located) isn't properly mounted. I assume some grounding problem but didn't investigate any further as it started fine afte...

If you can live with the GEMDOS trap overhead, the keyclick can be disabled from the conterm system variable.

What exactly did you try?

AFAIK (althouth never tried myself), redirecting MIDI ports *should* work on MiNT:Fmidipipe(). But Thorsten is of course right that this would only redirect GEMDOS I/O.

if you already have a functional LAN port on your MiNT machine, all you need is one of the cheap WLAN repeaters available on ebay.

Most come with a LAN port and can be configured with a simple web interface.

... But it did not show up on my Radeon output but on my Videl output. Am I missing something ? The CT63 -> loads CTPCI stuff -> Radeon HD screen came on, logo etc, skipping HDD boot -> GEM desktop on Radeon -> open A: run emutos.prg -> Emudesk desktop on Videl. Did this work any different previous...

Yes. Make sure you have enough space for the whole disk on the Linux side, then do dd if=/dev/sdc of=falcon.img bs=1M from a terminal window. Patience, this will take a while, but you should end up with a falcon.img file that is an exact copy of the disk contents. Then try starting hatari with hatar...

My question is, would an emulator, like Hattari, be able to read the files on the old IDE drive if it is connected by USB? It probably would (you can point Hatari at physical devices) but I'd try that on an imaged copy of the device contents only. It's just too easy to to do something wrong and des...

Below interesting figures for Firebee - Fast RAM vs ST RAM: Note that this isn't the default setup, but my own config (all FPGA-RAM = ST RAM). In the original setup, only the screen memory is (slow) FPGA RAM (not really slow but only accessible for the CPU through the FlexBus, mapped in using the C...

... Do you know how I can access Falcon VGA modes with SDL? I can get 640x480 but it limits me to 2 colours, regardless of what I set bpp to. Chunky modes work great though! Works fine for me. Can you show your code? My apologies. I got confused. It was OpenGL that I was having the issue with, not ...

CompactFlash is very similar to IDE, but not the same. Depending on the certain type and brand of CompactFlash card, its entirely possible you might not get it to work with a driver that doesn't know about CF (HDDRIVER itself required several versions until it reliably supported a wide range of card...

Two possible reasons: either the library got corrupted during download/install or Thorsten (or whomever you got the library from) did indeed forget to run ranlib against it. Do a
and try again.

Make sure your code is nice and clean and you won't get slapped.

Probably .

NVDI is not mentioned at all in any MINT.CNF example in the FreeMiNT source tree, AFAICS. doc/INSTALL (rather outdated but not wrong) says NVDI should be started before MiNT. That should be interpreted as "should be started before MiNT if in use". There is no requirement for NVDI in MiNT, otherwise ...

I think if we change anything at all with startup code, we should really avoid starting at all first place (but exit with a nice error message) when the code already knows it cannot run. I think that was already proposed long ago by Vincent but the discussion somehow went into an endless loop if I r...

Sure it is. Make yourself familiar with github pull requests (a lot easier than it sounds). If you want, I can have a look on it if you're not in a hurry (might take some tim).

I just used the contents of the 000 zip file.

All the 000 files on github I looked up have about 3 KB and were last updated on Saturday. No idea what went wrong for you.

*EDIT* Seem the NOHOG2.ACC itself makes a difference. I compiled a version from source, with Mintlib a 150K son of a b**** but this one comes up in the Desk menu and keyboard seems to be working. The 6K version from the large distribution zip seems broken. I don't know what you have there, but my v...

did you manage to get your GEM=ROM setup up and running? EmuTOS + current MiNT + GEM=ROM leaves roughly 1.7M for applications on a 4M machine (probably a little less with active networking). NOHOG2 still does not work for me... Does work for me (and apparently for others as well). You must have don...

That's sad and shouldn't happen. As they say: "All beginnings are difficult":

EmuTOS + current MiNT + GEM=ROM leaves roughly 1.7M for applications on a 4M machine (probably a little less with active networking).

Use the source, Luke! Everything is possible when you have them

GEM=ROM Couldn't "see" where the system was stopping before using MiNT 1.19.cur. Installing the latest MiNT package, now can see what the complaint is. This is just a warning - GEM in ROM does a fork here (duplicates itself to start another process) and MiNT recognises the ROM GEM doesn't have a pr...

I strongly opt for a Mintnet configuration that will work from TOS formatted drives. Unix stuff should be optional. That's entirely possible with the right combination of tools supplied from github. I have a similar setup on my MiST where the only sign of active networking is when you open a window...

@mfro the iron I am working on, pre-dates yours. It's a Cyber 170/865, with 1 megaword (60-bit word) of central memory, and 12 CDC 855 drives totalling approximately 6.3 gigabytes (adjusted for actual storage on my system, the PP's store in 12 bit words). The operating system is NOS (this pre-dates...
