ok possible 2.11 was already there, I usually use "Fusion", so maybe I did not notice

It would be helpful if you can find the exact core rev, where Wolfenstein3D issues started.

Can I flash back to 2.9 with the existing software setup or are there any pitfalls?

Should work, if you set software mouse pointer for RTG. Can't remember off the top of my head when FEMU is needed instead of HW FPU.

Where can I set the software mouse pointer? Thank you

SoftSprite=Yes from the monitor icon tooltypes.

And put the memory size back to VideoMemSize=8M or similar.

( in DEVS:Monitors/ -folder )

1. Full support of Native HD Games install (Fate Gates of Dawn does not work e.g.)
2. Maprom Function: SWIV is still not working.
Secondly it should work with A500 Rev.6 boards plus chipram mod (1MB) and Ranger Mem 1.5 MB

Should they work with A500 Rev.6 boards plus chipram mod (1MB) and Ranger Mem 1.5 MB and a very fast 040 CPU?
 
Have you tested WHDLoad version of them? WHDLoad slaves have often 040 fixes to make old games/demos to work with newer CPUs than 68000.

Didn't have time for testing yet, but I looked at a1k bord when I first reported the problem. It came with the 2.7 core. But I will thest with the 2.5 core to be on the safe side.

Yesterday I completely reinstalled P96 and SAGA as described in the wiki. But that dosen't help.

I just installed the 2.5 core. Unfortunately P96 doesn't work anymore, all SAGA screencs are gone. Any hint? Thanks

Thanks for your effort! Basically Gold2.0 and 2.5 are the same core, but 2.5 has an updated kickrom. Did you test oldest RTG driver? https://wiki.apollo-accelerators.com/doku.php?id=start#latest_drivers

The SAGA drivers are according to wiki from 2018 the 2.5 core is from 2017.. Which of the old gfx drivers should I test im comb. with 2.5?  Is it enough to change the vampiregfx.card or a complete reinstall?

Changing vampiregfx.card is enough, just backup current one first. If you get RTG, it's good enough for the quick tests. Try with oldest one first. If they was named as saga.card, you need to update that driver name to the monitor icon tooltype, Boardtype=saga.

No,same problem with 2.11. I can't remember exactly - I think the GFX issues came with 2.9 or 2.10. Marathon Infinity has also heavy glitches. Doom II and Duke3d are working.

To isolate the issue, could you please test if this helps for the glitches when using latest RC core and drivers:

Hello, Simo,
thanks for the foolproof instructions - i will test asap. The weather was too nice the last days for further tests. :)

Im made a quick test yesterday - but with this command Shapeshifter gets stuck while booting.  When I have time I'll post my Startup Sequence - I use an old CoffeinOS installation and there are commands I can't interpret. Maybe this is the reason.

Probably your MAC OS installation didn't like it. Here's yet another debug prg to test: EXTERNAL LINK

Wohoo - that file fixes the bug. Wolfenstein and Marathon Infinty are now working without any GFX glitches. Great - thanks. What was the problem?
