- Some frequently asked questions regarding the Fellow Amiga Emulator:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- (To be extended...., not much is covered here right now.)
-
- Q1: Not all documented graphics modes are available in the emulator, why?
-
- Q2: The emulator hangs when I enable sound!
-
- Q3: Why can't I insert "DMS"-files as disk-images?
-

-
- Q1: Not all documented graphics modes are available in the emulator, why?
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
- A1: Possible reasons why modes were not found:
-
- - The linear-framebuffer capability is required, and not found.
- - Your VESA driver does not support the given mode.
- - The VESA driver does not support VBE V2.0 extensions.
-
- Make sure you have a VESA VBE V2.0 driver installed.
- SDD (Univbe) is a good one.
-
- Univbe can sometimes run in Vesa V1.2 mode unless it is started with
- some additional command-line switches.
-
- A log of the interaction with the VESA driver can be found in
- "fellow.log" when the emulator is started with the "-log" switch.
-
- Q2: The emulator hangs when I enable sound.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- A2: This is a known problem with the emulator versus Soundblaster-clone
- cards (and maybe some real Soundblasters, too, judging from bug-reports).
- Current solution: Try using the emulator with sound disabled.
-
- Q3: Why can't I insert "DMS"-files as disk-images?
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- A3: Documentation for the DMS compression algorithm is unavailable.
- People have tried to get it with no luck.
- And even if it was, DMS-files are not always complete floppy
- disks.
