Topic: Black screen under kickstart 1.3

Hi
While I have an AGA configuration working fine, I want to play old games and I get a black screen.
I'm using the 1.3 kickstart provided with my CD of AmigaOS 4.1 for classic.
I read that black screen is related to CIA.
I've seen a post here about the same issue but no answer was ever given.

If I do a reset I see a grey (maybe white) screen and then black again, once it's black I can't have the OSD menu to appear.
It would be nice to be able to change ROM in the OSD menu.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Regards
Kamelito

Re: Black screen under kickstart 1.3

since no one is responding :
1) wrong thead it is not a replay issue so please move it to the Amiga section.
2) it is an issue but nobody is having a solution, so please write known problem no solution.
3) wrong ini file so please post a working one for me to try.
...
thanks

Re: Black screen under kickstart 1.3

ooh, I'm sorry! I do check here often but most stuff is on slack nowadays. You can always mail me if there are problems.
Best bet is always to check the serial output, it will tell you what's wrong if the screen does not come up.
If you go to Release on the website you can get the latest core.
Use the ini file for that, but make sure the rom name matches that in the ini file

ROM = kick_31.rom,0x80000,0x00F80000

for example.
Feel free to mail me further details.

Hi Mike, this forum has looked like extinct for a long time. Absolutely nothing happens here. What do you mean "most stuff is on slack nowadays"? Did I miss something? How can I get there?

Re: Black screen under kickstart 1.3

Ok problem solved, help by Mike and others over @Slack
There's 2 lines for kickstart 1.3 in the ini file and I only put one uncommented because I thought one was for 256k and the other 512K kickstart.
Uncommenting both lines solves the problem.

Time to fire some game, and build an 1.3 HDF

We still check back here from time to time yes, so feel free to post your questions etc, Currently as well tho, The slack.com is where we have most of the current development going on and you have also developers there and other users to talk and chat with on both replay1/daughterboard and the upcoming replay2. We have the newly setup Github now https://github.com/FPGAArcade and releases section https://build.fpgaarcade.com/releases/ and also the WIKI https://www.fpgaarcade.com/kbtopic/all/ and support DOCS site https://docs.fpgaarcade.com for information on Both the Replay1 and Vidor FPGA boards. Replay2 information will come soon enough also once the designs are completed. Currently this is in the design phase. The Replay Team is very much alive.
