PAK/3 TOS 3.06: UK Version?
I've found and am using the USA localised version of the PAK/3 TOS 3.06 ROM with my ST+TF536. Other than HDDriver 10 not wanting to boot from the UltraSATAN with it installed, it gives a far better compatibility with PP's game conversions than EmuTOS and it's fully 030 aware, unlike TOS 2.06.
The only real fly in the ointment is the keyboard mapping and localisation are for the USA and not UK.
Is there a UK version I can download and write to a 512K ROM?

Re: PAK/3 TOS 3.06: UK Version?
I can't help with the UK version, sorry, but I was just wondering if this
is a TF536 issue because the modified US TOS v3.06 set that I use here
with a Pak 68/3 board boots fine with HDDriver v11.x. Thanks.

Re: PAK/3 TOS 3.06: UK Version?
I'm pretty sure that it is a TF536 issue as it would boot with an earlier version of the firmware, but that didn't tell the OS about the TT-RAM from what I remember.Darklord wrote: Wed Nov 30, 2022 3:55 am I can't help with the UK version, sorry, but I was just wondering if this

Give my build of 206 a try ? It's got all the 306 030 stuff from 306 anyway.

Re: PAK/3 TOS 3.06: UK Version?
I could do, but then PP's loader wouldn't recognise the machine as a TT and hence doesn't apply the 68030 patches. Unfortunately he doesn't look at the cookies for CPU etc. and does his own thing to determine the machine and then assume the CPU from that.exxos wrote: Wed Nov 30, 2022 9:41 am Give my build of 206 a try ?

I had this on the Falcon with EmuTOS. It was enough to patch the TOS version.

PP is PP.

You could ask him to fix the problem..

Yes. Well, PP's loaders have a whole other level of incompatibility with EmuTOS.Badwolf wrote: Wed Nov 30, 2022 11:05 amIs this for his games, you mean?stephen_usher wrote: Wed Nov 30, 2022 9:51 am I could do, but then PP's loader wouldn't recognise the machine as a TT and hence doesn't apply the 68030 patches.

Yeah, he has an extreme antipathy to EmuTOS, I know, but most worked with it set to 0404.stephen_usher wrote: Wed Nov 30, 2022 12:03 pmYes. Well, PP's loaders have a whole other level of incompatibility with EmuTOS.Badwolf wrote: Wed Nov 30, 2022 11:05 am Is this for his games, you mean?

What I meant was, try 2.06, but just change the 2 to a 3.
