- Q: I have problems extracting the files from AMIGA .lha sidtune archives,
- which I downloaded from Ami-Net or <frodo.hiof.no>, on my PC running
- DOS ! Further I can't get SIDPLAY to accept the extracted files !
- A: Consult the FAQ to SIDPLAY. It is available in the latest SIDPLAY
- package or by asking the author <3schwend@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>
- to send you the latest version (SIDPLAY v1.25b handles fixed
- *.INF/*.info files).
-
- Q: Has anyone been able to get the A64 emulator for the Amiga running?
- Every time I start it up, the system crashes.
- A: What version? If it's V2, then it always crashes under Kickstart 3.1.
- V2 works under Kickstart 3.0, but not if you use the OCS/ECS chips
- (using AGA scrambles the display :-P).
- To be sure of getting A64 to work you have to use Kickstart 2.0.
- If it's V3, then you may have to turn the data cache off on a
- 68040/060.
-
- Q: Hey, could it be possible for Frodo to take over the whole system
- like A64 does? Would it speed up the emulation much?
- A: The author informs me that there will never be a non-multitasking
- version of Frodo, as the speed gain would be marginal enough (1-2%)
- that it wouldn't be worth it.
-
- Q: Anyone ever get C64 Alive working? I can't seem to figure out what to
- call the ROM files, and the docs are of no help.
- A: (Part 1) You don't have to call ROM files, just type 'c64alive.exe' - if
- this doesn't work - for me it works fine - there must be some other
- problem like the extended video mode (on my Speedstar 24 (ET4000)) C64S
- does not run instead ...
- (Part 2) Load NO drivers except himem.sys. It worked fine from there.
- It only loads single files, and in raw format which trans64 converted
- fine. (from George A Neal <gneal916@netcom.com>)

- Q: I'm running A64 v3 on my AGA machine and the sprites are messed up!
- A: Questronix fix: Set your sprite pointer to lo-res.
- BETTER FIX: Use the PD utility KILLAGA to trick your Amiga!
- 1) From the CLI, type ED A64! (Be sure to specify directory!)
- 2) Type KILLAGA A64 (specify directory of KILLAGA)
- 3) Save A64! (In same place as A64)
- 4) Go into ICONEDIT and save A64!.icon as a PROJECT
- 5) Go to Workbench and get info on A64!. Enter ICONX as the default
- tool.
-
- Q: I'm having some trouble getting Trans64 to work.
- A: Don't just press the "test" button once, press it ten times and
- if any one of the test's fail then adjust your delay. I say 10 because
- if your delay is not long enough it will show up in one of the 10 tests.
- I have the delay set to 40; the machine I have is a 486 DX/2 66 and
- my parallel port comes off one of these vesa local bus ide multi i/o
- cards.
- If I drop the delay to less than 40 then sometimes I get unpredictable
- results with the test.
