ChrisS is trying to build a H5C1

* Seems to be an Acsi - Altram issue after some more testing today causing file corruption and read issues.

...

Under TOS 2.06 altram and blitter works however sometimes when the blitter is enabled I see some screen defects.
Mostly missing pixels.

Sounds like DMA is patchy into AltRAM. I see this from time to time and it's annoying.

Can you check if it's still an issue with the old firmware? If so, it must be a long-standing bug I've not worked out.

I thought I had, mind, so it's possible the latest hack has broken it again.

Sorry the older firmware has the same issue.
The oldest one just crashes when I try to load Emutos from floppy (no tos decoding so need to load Emutos to see altram).

This one does run stable but the 030 means loss of compatibility.

OK, thanks for the report. I'm not in a position to investigate this at the moment, but will make a note of it as a test case.

Are you able to supply me zip of the failing ScummVM/Fate of Atlantis install, at all?

Cheers,

BW.

Thanks.
Yes could do this but this issue is there on all ScummVM ST games (tried multiple).
The TF536 was in just to see if it maybe was something else. But the TF536 runs perfectly.
I assume you will see this issue if you run something which hammers the ACSI and Altram.
It is so bad that it can corrupt the files (on Ultrasatan).
As HD device I currently only can test with Ultrasatan + DSTB-1.

I just don't have any ScummVM ST games set up so it's a barrier to replicating the issue, that's all.

Which hard disc driver are you using?

Tried Hddriver and Emutos (build in)
Also tried some different settings in hddriver.
I also have the Petari one but did not try it in this case.

No, that's great, thanks. EmuTOS would be my test case du choix.
