Powermac G4 Cube E-UAE freeze issues
  • Just looking around

    Hello,

    I'm playing with MorphOS since a couple of weeks and really love it.

    One issue with E-UAE. When I start a software (game or other software), it freezes after a couple of minutes even if I just let it run.

    I tried many combinations of sdl/non-sdl, JIT/non-JIT, fullscreen/windowed and it's all the same

    Tried those 3 versions:
    - E-UAE_0.8.29-WIP4.lha
    - E-UAE_1.0.0.lha
    - E-UAE_1.0.0-JIT.lha

    I did the memtest to find out I had a bad DIMM. Solved now.
    I know the video card is not the best in this system. Could it be related?

    I've attached the conf I'm using. Tried many changes in this file as well.

    This Cube was upgraded with a 1.3ghz CPU from G-Celerator. I didn't try to put back the original Apple CPU. (Still have it)

    Any other ideas?
    Thanks very much!
    Pitou!

    Just found out there are jumpers on that board to set the speed. I lowered to the minimum which is 1Ghz and all is fine now.

    This is so strange...
    That's a G4 7455 CPU module, right?
    How does the CPU command from CLI recognize it?
    Any other unusual behaviour when stressed out?

    Yes that's weird. I did more test and the only combination is 1Ghz with the WIP4 sdl version. Others freeze as well.

    Yes it's a G4 7455 module.

    Everything else is fine. MorphOS works normally. I cannot close the e-uae window, so I reboot.
    Is there a way to kill a process GUI or CLI?

    Here is the output of the CPU cmd for 2 CPU configs, 1Ghz and 1.3Ghz. Only the CPUClock differs. (Cannot attach files)

    Thanks!
