Ephidrena released a new 4k musicdisk called Hacks for tracks, available here.
Damn, can't wait to launch it on my trusty old miggy. And big up for releasing this outside a party :)

After watching this, I finally came to the conclusion that Ephidrena must have been send from an unknown galaxy far, far away to enlighten our life on planet earth... Cool interface btw, and even better tracks, even if it`s just four of them. Stunning.

Ephidrena is for me the best thing that ever happened to the amiga scene. And i really mean THE best thing EVER.

thanks for all the nice words.. Has anyone of you experienced the black screen of death bug? The screen is black and only the music plays... If so, what are your configs? ( so that I can pretend to fix the bug )

I can't watched/lissened ;( Tryed to run from 'clear' boot under AGA, and from 3.9/cgx - in any case, some bugs on screen, and nothink to play/happened. Config: ppc603e+040/voodoo3/64mb

maybe it is the nasty graphics library hack? Youre getting the copperlist before it has been initialized I guess.. That looks like garbage.. I'll fix it so we can test..

Today i resoldering my 040 on bppc to 060, and now your stuff work. But as you said - black screen, and only music play. After playing first track, some waiting and i can see graphics (but not animated), and playing second track. And for third track the same.

You swapped the 040 for a 060 yourself? I'm impressed!
|

bonkers, yeah. it was interesting. i unsoldered 060 from my old dead bliz060 board (only cpu is work), and putted it to bppc over 040. i using socket from i486 board. If you interesting i can put here 1-2 pict of this mess :)

@kas1e
Please do, that sounds mad. I feelt very proud when I manage to add an fpu to my 030, so this realy impress me =)
Btw can you do the same with a blizz040?

@bonkers
i only can change 040/060 cpus .. 030 have too different pinouts,etc. But for 040/060 difference only is cpu voltage (3.3v for 060 and 5.v for 040). Take a look on mess :) : http://sager.org/test/bppc_040-to-060.zip

@kas1e thats exactly the same result that frequent gets on his board. I've heard some rumours that these fancy boards already have some initialized interrupt vectors on boot and so possibly h4tx destoroy these important vectors.... I'll try to use some system interrupts.
Didnt know that it was possible to put a 060 on a 040 that way :D cool

Wohoo great 040/060 hack :)
The vblank interrupt is used evidently used for something important on fancy amigas. I removed the scopes and then h4tx ran fine on frequents machine atleast.. Full fix soon..

nope .. my config is it: a1200/bppc-266mhz+060-66mhz/mediator (with 10mbit realteck and voodoo banshi), fast ata and micronic scandoubler.
what about patches: kickrom from 3.0 to 3.1, powerpc.library remover and
resident driver from fastata. os3.9bb2 on sfs partition.

Im really certain that it has something to do with the audiointerrupt and the mainloop not synchronizing as they should.... What is really the correct way to handle interrupts on amiga? I sometimes seem to get double interrupts and stuff.. What I do now is just clear the intreq bits at the start of the audio interrupt.. Then do some stuff and "rte".. I've tried clearing the bits at the end, but as far as I can remember stuff crashed then... Should I turn off the interrupt while I'm in it?

Hey Loady!
So, are you working on that Hacks4Trax "SDK" for other Eph members (and me, of course!)??!? ;)
Hehe, C ya! :D

I just found out that I can wrap up all the 4k datastructures in macros in PhxAss and uses assembler directives for parameter checking. So now the "tracking" in assembler is a lot more friendly for other people since you get error messages if you do something wrong.. Neat :)
Now I need an editor that generates the "macro language".. I wonder if I could use octamed with a range of AREXX macros in some way.. Anyone know a good AREXX tutorial?

@rload
If you mean ARexx+Octamed, dunno what it is, but there's a sort of tutorial here:
http://exotica.fix.no/nostalgia/amfm/amfm16.dms
beware: haven't checked it... :)

Octamed came with a few examples on how to program it.. Haven't found what I need though. You can trigger arexx scripts for different commands though. That might be useful.
