N.AES

Post by lp »

I have patched N.AES in theory if some brave soul wants to test it. Direct link:
http://gfa.atari-users.net/atari/html/n_aes.htm

Note: I only provide a single patched file (n_aes_fb.sys). You will need the RSC file(s) from your original N.AES v2.0 disk.

Technical bits:
I fixed one move.b (sp) and two TAS instructions. Requires FireTOS/CF68KLib.

I was able to test it on ARAnyM. The desktop comes up and all seems ok.

I tested it on the Firebee. As far as I can see, it works! Hats off!

Wooow! This is really great!
Good work Lonny. This is really nice and usefull contribution for the FireBee users.
I really liked N.AES running it on my Falcon in the past ...

It needs a bit more testing as it was only tested in the default video mode when the machine came up, but I think it will be ok in other modes. Yet another option for FireBee owners if all goes well. ;)

Good work Lonny :) Now I have another challenge for you - could you fix Geneva as well?

I tend to work on stuff I care about, unfortunately never used Geneva. I would rather not spend time on that.

Isn't there a patch for the FireBee + NVDI already?

FB has NVDI 5 patch, I never tried anything lower than that on it.
May be I try NVDI 3 on the FB over the weekend.

I really like N.AES. So I understand this correctly Do I install N.AES from the CD (SD in my case) on the FireBee or do I copy over the N_AES folder from an installation and change the MINT.CNF and N_AES.CNF files replacing XaAES? Then replace the n_aes_fb.sys file?

I just want to make sure I go about this the right way. MiNT on the N.AES 2.0 CD is version 1.15.5 dated 1999.

I can't really help with replacing a working xaaes setup and its been years since I did an actual N.AES install. The setup on TT030 was copied from my MegaST4, then swapped out for the 030 version, then that was copied to my Hades060, and when that died it was copied to aranym.

Ewww, I can still remember trying to guess what the German menu's said and making
the correct choices when I first installed it from the N.AES (v2.0?) CD I've got.

Just curious, what CPU did you chose during installation? From memory I remember 68000, 68030, 68040, and 68060 or Hades.

I don't think shoggoth used the installer. For the firebee it must be the 68000 version, that's the one I patched.

I took my 68000 installation of N.AES 2.0 that I did in Hatari and copied it to a blank CF card. I then replaced the N_AES.SYS file with the FireBee Patched one and booted. Here's as far as I get in the boot process before it locks up solid. In the AUTO Folder all I have is the MINTNP.PRG and nothing else.

If I had to guess, you must use a current MiNT kernal, because it was changed for the firebee. It never even gets to N.AES.

Lonny is right, you need a ColdFire MiNT kernel. Use your current MiNT/XaAES setup on your Firebee. Then start n_aes_fb.sys instead of xaloader.prg (see the "GEM=..." line in mint.cnf). You also need to copy over your N.AES folder from your working N.AES setup.

What is the difference between XaAES and N.AES? Sorry to be a noob! Why would someone choose one over the other?

XaAES is further developed, it has more oprions and runs native on the FireBee.
Still I really liked the n.aes when I had my falcon. It is great piece of software.

I used n_aes previously when Xaaes was still a baby, but i cannot remember what was the difference.

I still use N.AES. For me personal preference.
