Need Help for Vampire V2 RTG/SAGA Setup

Hi,

Unfortunately I have no experience with the setup of P96 on a classic system. Only with FS-UAE. For this reason, a few questions to better understand the setup.

I've done so far:

1. Vampire600V2 update to Silver Core 2 (Is there a way to check the version of the core?)

2. Install Picasso96 from my OS3.9 CD-Rom (The installation script asks for the installed RTG card, nothing preselected! Which should be selected?)

3. Install unofficial Picasso96 package (Same question about the installed RTG card)

4. Install SAGA driver

Ok, after installation, i have two new display driver in Devs/Monitors: SAGA and Picasso96.

In Prefs/ScreenMode i don't have new screenmodes. There are only normal PAL modes like before (i know, after P96 installation in FS-UAE i had several new UAE screenmodes in there).

Ok, DIGITAL-VIDEO has no output! Then i start "Picasso96Mode" and i saw, there are several SAGA settings. But... if i check menu "Attach Setting to" there is "No Board" only! No board to attach the SAGA settings (i think, there should be the Vampire board selectable?).

Could it be that the update on the Silver 2-core is failed (but according Sysinfo the Vampire is working)? Or what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Martin,
 
  Correct processus is described into the README file put in the SAGA Driver archive. It specify you should install Picasso96 from the Aminet archive. This might be the point. This README will be elaborated soon if.
 
  For your problem, please make sure that saga.card is correctly installed in LIBS:Picasso96/
 
  Don't hesistate to come on IRC for further help.

Edit:
For easier installation, SAGA 0.7 driver installation script has been reworked to look for uaegfx (please download it again) and installation procedure has been simplified :
1) Flash your Vampire with latest SILVER2 core (mandatory)
2) Get and install Picasso96 package from Aminet. Select uaegfx during installation.
3) Install this driver

Hi Renaud

Thank you very much for your answer. Ok, i will install Picasso96 again with uaegfx selected (first time i choose PicassoIV) and the new version of SAGA driver. I hope, it would be work.
