Short: Versatile Amiga Testprogram Author: jochem_caspers yahoo com (Partial Author J.J. Caspers) Uploader: jochem_caspers yahoo com (J.J. Caspers) Type: util/misc Version: 5.95 beta: Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 1.1 Distribution: Aminet An Amiga TestProgram for all Amigas. Remove hardware from the parallelport when doing tests on this port and real interrupt testing. Don`t use Amitestkit or DiagROM testplugs! Remove parallelport testplug when done using the program. Main features include: SAGA, AGA, ECS and OCS screen testing Audio testing Sprite testing Blitter testing SAGA texturemapping testing Joystick and Mouse testing CD32 joypad testing (insert first) Vampire joypad testing (wheel mouse not working?) Keyboard testing (CDTV extra keys) CIA testing ROM testing CPU testing FPU testing MMU testing (write protect test(040/060) and registers) RTC testing RTC jumpstarting Memory testing Addressline testing Real Interrupt testing Interrupt Request testing Diskdrive testing IDE testing Parallelport testing Serialport testing Diskdriveport testing PCMCIA testing Chip ID readout Akiko CD32 testing (Force CD32 in configscreen or open CD32 Screen to get more testing in other tests, (interrupt and "CIA/"Akiko-TOD switching PAL/NTSC). CD32 NVRAM testing (Not for ROM version will use nonvolatile.library) CDTV NVRAM testing (experimental) CDTV Card testing (experimental) AutoConfig testing not working on real hardware? and only on ROM Controlling one Amiga with another computer or receive debug data through a nullmodem or a selfmade parallelport -cable. Serial Speed is 57600 Baud and works with WinUAE 5.1.0 in transmit only mode. For ROM boot info you can also use a PC program that can receive ASCII over a COMport. *CD32 will use joypad control on boot (hold lmb for 6 sec to use mouse) *For master start terminal other Amiga will be slave automatic on mainscreen TestPackage include EPROM file single socket 68000(+) TestPackage include EPROM files double sockets 68020(+) TestPackage include EPROM file single socket 68020(+) CD32 TestPackage include EPROM files doublesocket A1000 (experimental!) TestPackage include ROM files for emulators (524kb use 020+ and 64kb=A1000!) TestPackage include ISO file (can be an older version, no boot CDTV/CD32) (you can make your own bootable ISO, use ISOCD from CD32-devkit) TestPackage include QuickDisk (diskdrive tests only) (BUG! versions 3.6b to 4.1b don`t work on an A4000 with 030!) (BUG! version 3.6b also dont work on an A4000 with other CPUs!) (ROM13.2 to 18 same problem!!!) !Vampire users with problems can try to update the SAGA core Hanging Audioscreen or no mousewheel readout. If you use an older ROM version, use right version of VATestprogram. It may give problems. Terminal mode hanging/wrong symbols/not working. Older versions of VATestprogram are included in the package. Update 5.95b Vampire Shifting texturemapping Test Vampire Audioscreen 16 channels Frequency, left/right volume control Selecting waveforms and lenghts Fast channel selecting button Quick Left and right switching, off and both switching 16 and 8 bits amplitude switch Channel switches Control over volume switches L/R and both Can play 7 samples when vatestprogram.dat is put with the program Vampire More work on SAGAScreen tests Vampire Mousewheel register test renamed Vampire extra RealInterrupt tests, ethernet interrupt is actually a request !Older Vampire Standalone SAGA core may give a black screen bug! !VATestprogram.dat file needed for some Vampire tests! Update 5.92b vatestprogram.dat file updated with texture. Older Amigas will not load the texture data from the .dat file. Vampire Screen Tests under SAGA display+ 8 16 24 and 32 screens added with colorblocks Screen sides and corner blocks for some color depth modes All resolutions added Vampire CPU Clock at CPUscreen Vampire 3D scaling test with speed results, 512x512x4 bytes per texture Vampire Bilienar switch for smoothing pixels with texturemapping Vampire Texture Light input, is used to lower RGB colors with texturemapping Vampire standalone CPU speed result added Vampire Texture mapping test needs to load VATestprogram.dat for a texture Vampire Texture Size mode used for test Vampire AudioScreen (under construction) 5.82b Version of program added (without new vampire tests) Update 5.84b Many changes to program to work with different sizes of chipmemory Vampire joypad screen fixes and is working oke Vampire wheel mouse test, not working for now? Vampire display testscreen (under construction) Selecting Resolution Selecting Color depth Selecting Scanline Selecting Zoom Testscreen with colors (15bit and 640 width only correct) Vampire ID text fix Update 5.82b LongSprites now also work witch Attach mode Diskdrive Selecting for destination and source with disk icons NoLock on diskcopy More Keyboard font characters for keyboard test Out of Memory message for mem needed to copy a disk to same drive Encode decode option now also works with copy a disk from diskdrive to another diskdrive Configscreen can select between two baudrates so the program is more compatible with older ROM versions of the program CLI arguments and configfile FSER option added to auto start program with older faster speed setting serialport Can viewhex of diskdrive raw read data No Sectors found will give questionmarks for hex value distance Work on guide (diskdrive screen use) ROM Update 30.4 -No Copperlist use when no usable chipmem detected fix in program -CIA timer test fix, if no memory can`t be used to program will output CIA counting, no VBL waiting is used for this and different counting on each different CPU speed etc Amigas -when VBR table can`t be moved will auto shut down interrupts in use in program this will happen when first chipmem is faulty for a 68000 CPU -maybe fix memory test without working VBR table what can happen with no chipmem, it will use no interrupts in that case CD ISO File Update (no CD32/CDTV boot!) Update 5.8b Better Disk Sector Error handeling DiskCopy bug fix Disk Header Error Code 4 Added Better sector distance numbers CopyDisk to same drive can use encode decode option, it will use alot less memory, 0.9mb to hold diskdata insted of 1.9mb SineWave can do 5 lenghts and bug fix freq/modulating tests Keyboard fix A500, return that repeats before BaudRate set lower so more null modem cables work, A2000 may need this also BaudRate is now 57600, slow Amiga controlling very fast Amiga may fail You can slow it down with eatingfastmem or turning off the cache WinUAE 5.1.0 version works with transmit only mode ROM update 30 -BaudRate set to 57600 use in combination with new VAtestprogram5.8b -Bug fix for hanging on TOD text when can`t use any memory -Bug fixing running from other memory -5 Audio wave lengths and calculated waves -Terminal Screen can scroll and show also bin values -Config screen can select diskdrive use through program Update 5.79 Display plus has now a calculated testscreen Display plus screen can calculate amount of pixel width and height May use a question mark if DDFSTRT DDFSTOP is set wrong Displayplus, DIWHIGH can be turned on and off OverScan screen changes and is used for testing a screen Displayplus OverScan calculate and print resolution text Keyboard control to change screen on the fly at showscreen Displayplus Up&Down Screen Y Pos movement, uses DIWSTART and DIWSTOP Left&Right X Pos movement (per 16 pixels lores) uses DDFSTART/DDFSTOP Shift Up&Down Screen Size Height changing Shift Left&Right Size Screen LongSprites mode added AudioWaves can be selected for different lengtes, will calculate samples Standard Audio waves will be drawn on the screen CD ISO File update (can`t boot CDTV&CD32, needs trademarkfile for boot?) Update 5.78 Sprite Attach mode works better in moving sprite test Moving Sprite over sprite added for moving sprite test Cursor hexview Screen Added Cursor can edit hexnumbers, press backspace to enter hex value Display plus screen can use DDFSTART DDFSTOP DIWSTART DIWSTOP registers SawTooth wave added to AudioScreen DisplayPlus screen native Amiga 15khz support added Calculate display resolution. For native Amiga screenmodes you need to set DDFSTAR/STOP registers to a correct value. Work on Displayplus screen Protection on displayplus screen changes OCS Amigas Bugs fixing Some Work on the guide CD ISO file update Update 5.74 Trace Exception test added CheckerPatterns on color adjust screen WaitDelay input in hex after index flag is set (diskspinning index) on read and also on a write (Word syncing ($4489) will hold the data stream till it finds the sync word from disk!) Sync off will now continue again for showing correct (Amigaformat) read sectors HPOS line test added under VHPOS test, will draw line and will output max wait hex number byte (VHPOSR), test can be to slow and line starts to jump abit Work on guide CD ISO file updated Update 5.7b At diskdrive screen, Wait on Word SYNC from disk at writing option added At diskdrive screen, program can try to find WordSync from disk when all SYNC is disabled. The estimated Sync Number keeps jumping and sometimes get found Going through menus with keyboard or a joystick it will use a buttoncounter insted of a mouse memorymap, which give less problems when program is in bad memory Program will do a fast check on chipmem used for program and report if it is failing, it will give an error message on the mainscreen, some tests make use of the chipmem and may fail if the chipmem is not oke CIA with "show counting" off will also not show counting for the combined counting. More polygons added for line&fill test Some work on the guide of program Adjust color screen has big color bars DisplaySettings screen !You may damage your monitor when set wrong, because you can send all kinds of frequency signals that the monitor don`t like! DisplayPlus screen is locked Displaysetting will start with the older settings that was used before for the 31/24khz test On Mainscreen with program unlocked you can hold RMB and press D to goto the DisplayScreen On The displaymenuscreen you can press D to show the monitor screentest DisplaySettings All Alice/Agnus registers added for a none standard Amiga Display, you can also select a resolution in BPLCON0 register Older Kickstart will look for files in VAT:, name of disk is changed to VAT: this way you can install the program any where you want and the files for the program can be found in any drawer when using an assign for VAT: Reading and copy disk will use standard error codes 1 Less Sectors on read 2 No SYNC 3 No sync for next sector 6 read checksum error 8 Verify Error DiskError codes will use a red color Keyboard fix not going to left diskdrivescreen menu buttons Update 5.64b Raw Clear disk, will copy $AAAA data for 32Kbytes after waitindex for each track Raw Copydisk, can copy disks but not all disks will copy oke Faster diskhead stepping, for slower stepping set timing to VBL WriteProtect warning but will continue !Some diskdrives need faster stepping before you notice the drive is not stepping oke !Copy disk to same drive need 1.8mb of free memory Some work on guide of program ISO file updated to latest diskversion and ROM Update 5.62b Auto selecting Gayle or A4000 IDE fix on startup IDE/SCSI screen ROM Update 29.4 -Adjust color screen upgrades from diskversion -IDE reading sectors etc upgrades from diskversion Update 5.6b 512bytes Hexview of sector/block harddisk, no need for; device to be formated or OS finding of device and can reach 128gb of space on any kickstart Option to read more then 512bytes per block Navigation with arrow keys up down for reading multible blocks of 512. Set readsize higher. You can test the harddisk buffer if it is larger then 512bytes. Navigation per sector with arrow keys left right Press S for putting sector number Press C for cylinder Press H for head Retry or no retry harddisk sectorreading Read last readout from buffer harddisk and view in hex DriveDiagnostic command sending to drive can indicate a problem but buggy, diagnostic comes from the drive it self! Listing of IDE registers and a Read write test moved to other screen More Errors readout of IDE devices and output text at the bottom Geometry can be used to lock sector/heads/cylinders that are not present, it needs you to read first the ID from the drive and incorrect ID readout will reflect(larger drives) MMU test will list MMU registers both for MMU 030 and 040/060 Last line draw test will loop HAM8screen with sprites bug removed ROM Update 29.2 -MMU register listing under MMUtest Update 5.5b Search option ASCII added hexviewer, press shift S for input and s to search !Search only do max of 1mb, ending in some memory that don`t exist can give a bus exception. ASCII search can do 32 characters and is case sensitive Better Marking of found search text Hexviewer Bug removed missalignmentmemory foundhexviewer Address input hexviewer press a CheckerPattern screen added with RMB to switch to overscan, usefull for LCD Left and right mousebutton can also scroll text in terminalscreen Adjust Color screen can spread, copy/exchange colors and set to a fix palette Extra linedraw test, will drawlines from middle to edge of screen going around More Efficient Palette loading in program AudioBeep when switching audio genlock !Use new vatestprogram.dat file or else data will load wrong ROM Update 29.1 -Larger ROM versions will put video port pinout on videoscreen Update 5.48b SCSI/IDE screen possible to list devices in an old way so it also works on ROM1.1 and up, Listing Devicename/DeviceDriver/unit/volume/filesystemmarker (HDToolbox may put wrong marker)/Maxtransfer/Bootpri/Mount AudioScreen will show a more full samplewave for longer samples Bug fixing, readalltracks bug removed, another fix diskdrive readsize changing Diskdrive selecting for readalltracks is linked again on 1e menu diskdrive use ROM Update 29 -ROM will check for odd data at even address fault and other way around, done on address $100/$102 and $101/$103. -Can chooise between two modules and for the larger ROM versions 3 modules -Turning off the mouse 'm key' will disable the use of a clickbuttonmap in memory, so most of working memory is not needed in this case, only the memory for the stack and variables are vital, you can use a joystick or keyboard to select buttons. -Module added for larger ROM versions from Aquafresh of Mellow Update 5.46b Playing a sample of module will show wave drawing of sample Pause module track option added 32kb diskblock reading menu bug removed Bug fixing and enhancing program A alot faster memory test when avoid interrupts is selected Semi 64bit mulu and div instruction test added for CPU 030+ ROM Update 28.8 -Update most features of latest disk version except for diskdrive testing -32kb diskdrive reading menu bug removed and 12kb option added -Readalltracks bug fix Update 5.4b CDTV Screen added CDTV int2 bug removed CDTV force chipset added CDTV detection by none AGA and debox.library present check NOCDTV cli and configfile option added CDTV real interrupt INT2 test added NVRAM R/W Test (will save and restore old data and do R/W testing!) NVRAM Write (will save a 32bits number at end of memory) NVRAM Read (will check for the number that the writetest had placed before) Card R/W Test Card Read Test (will read all data that write put before) Card Write Test (will write data for readtest) SetSize Read and Write Card Keyboard screen will show extra keys for CDTV (play stop etc) ROM address set quick button in ROMscreen Module Play Speed adjustment buttons Module Play Song position control Keyboard input will clear text but restore text when pressing enter rightaway Keyboard bug removed A500 DMAspeed Readtracks no wait on diskblocks (buggy with real disksdrives) Bug fixing !CDTV Tests only tested in emulation, CDTV tests may not work on real hardware! CDISOFile Update Update 5.32b Audioscreen can also play any samples of test module Blitter Speed test with DMA activity HHPOS Register added for registertest Some work on Guide CDISOFile Update Update 5.3b Clearingscreen removed realtime addressline tests Cursor added for all keyboardinput BackSpace can remove keyboardinput Hires screenmode test noneAGA bug fix Keyboard can`t reach all buttons fixing Better SuperHires test for AGA Extended scrolling screen for AGA Amiga test on a superhires screen Extended scroller can switch to hires with RMB SR supervisor bit test added (not an accurate test) Better Sprite to SpriteCollisionTest. Will now test each sprite to sprite bit separate and not only test all set and all cleared which is also included with this new test. Test will run twice, first even and then odd sprites. Color adjustscreen will show color number Color adjustscreen halfbrite bug removed none AGA Amigas Color adjustscreen will also show color value in bits Verify for diskcopy option 12kb readsize added and program will preset this Highdensity will set the readsize higher when set on 12kb to 24kb Diskdrive screen changes and menu added Setting Source and destination diskdrive for copydisk Set write size of a track for diskcopy HD/DD switch will reset trackwritesize Auto Frequency Test on audio waves under audioscreen Diskdrivescreen on start will reset to DD Amiga disk !Diskcopy not working on real diskdrives, so it is disabled! Update 5.2b DMA speedtest, will loop CPU instructions to chipmem for 1 seconds and will show the CPU mips speed while switching DMA channels with DMA load. You can test how much CPU to chipmem speed is lost when there is other DMA acitivity. Pressing H for hires mode DMA speedtest Pressing L for lowres mode DMA speedtest Pressing S for superhires mode DMA speedtest DiskDriveTests can work with Highdensity disks but Paula can not always read enough data from disk for one Track, so it will not always read all sectors in one readout. DiskReadSpeed test, will test how many raw readblocks can be read from a disk per second WaitForIndex will make the readdiskdata tests wait for a rotation of the diskmotor. Distance of found data in memorydump diskdrive should be more stable. DiskdriveMenu2 overhaul RGB manual color adjustmentscreen with a mouseslider, RMB will show empty screen with the color of color zero, also a RGB hexvalue. Halfbrite test will switch to Hires with right button on AGA Amiga ROMUpdate 28.4 Diskdrive screen updates ESC key can exit keyboardscreen Extra VBR-table copy to chipmem before CIA switching overlay Update 5.1b Monitor function for AddressLine tests, will show data bits on lines. Can also be used for a single address. Will show first address and bits set. First addresslines that have no purpose to test on more data bits are removed When putting zero addresslines, in monitor test it will not correct any addresses from 16bits only 8bits alignment, it will also not block any address ranges. Poking in memory possible when pressing P in the addresstest it self, input data to poke and then address, when enter press rightaway it will use the base address from the address test it self. Adding addresses to addresstest while running pressing A, you can fill in an address and the bussize. (Q)uick button next to monitor in addressscreen to start with only one address NOCACHE cli command option added CACHE cli command option added NOPAD cli command to start CD32 mode with a mouse and not a joypad NOCD32 cli command to not check for CD32. Unfortunately it gives a bus exception when ussing the Akiko ID register readout on an A4000. To be sure you can disable the CD32 check if you amigas hangs on booting of the program. Program now also have a config file. You can type the words from the cli commands in the text file. ; in front of the words dont work. Protection on head move loop when no track zero sensor works! Holding ESC 5 seconds on keyboardscreen will jump to mainscreen. CD32 bug fix for hanging on CIA testscreen Keyboard transmit error bug removed entering keyboardscreen with keyboard EatFastmem Program will now load in chipmem so it can eat more. VATQuickDisk Some bugs removed ROMUpdate 28.2 Importand bug removed. Early exceptions caused a crash of program because no pointers where ready at the beginning of the chipmem after rom overlay switching! Exception and early interrupt error colors longer on screen When parmode is set on it will skip some of them customchipregisters such as the color code to color 0 with an exception. After parmode check and parmode was not set and you have an early exception it will not output on the parport to avoid cia activity. Moving some CIA settings to later in the program so there is more chance it can start farther. Update 5.0b Customchip registerstest can be used over terminalmode but is slow Less restrictions on diskdrive use in lock mode Diskdrive screen button changes Diskswaptest with better protection of stepping to highertrack on last track Repeat option when reading all tracks. Disks with errors will keep trying, this can remove abit of errors on disks, number 99 will keep trying for unlimited amount. Head Move Loop; will just send the heads up and down. It may remove some dust inside a disk Max is 50 times. Terminalscreen scrolling removed to gain speed Terminalscreen will now clear a line after printing, needed when looping back text with to much text on the screen(buffer). Terminalscreen can now also show only hex numbers, configscreen have a switch Terminal wil use alot more memory that is there anyways for the text on the screen. More lines before it will loop back. Program can use CLI arguments to not use exceptions and unlock the program right away. These are AVOIDCHIP, UNLOCK and NOEXCEPTIONS you type behind the cli command VATestprogram. These only work from ROM 2.04 and up. (use /?) NOEXCEPTIONS will skip exception changes and storing and tests with exceptions! Some CPUboards and running software may not like the use of some exceptions. AVOIDCHIP will move the buttonscreen to fastmem if any, some tests will use the buttonscreen memory also. Harddisk readout and C2P test moved to buttonscreen memory. Program will verify chipmem that is reserved for program and with a fault will move the buttonscreen to fastmem if any. More Easy to remove lockmode in aboutscreen Small program added in C directory for removing most fastmem, the testprogram can then run from chipmem only. Bug fixes. QuickDisk Made alot smaller and can boot from disk. Is 9 diskblocks large. ROMUpdate 28 Program placed in other memory sometimes show extra long click button bug probably removed. Unlocking in About screen more easy !Extra tests added when no memory can be used ROM version! -INT2 INT3 INT6 line high Text -Longer waiting to cancel VBL waiting CIA timer tests -Horizontal position counter test (VHPOSR) -Color Screen Test with bitplane set open. Memory for screen data will run without control. -CPU writing to audio and bitplane data direct screen test -Text added when pulsing in loop on chipmem bus at Address $400 Update 4.95b CustomChip registers test can now also mark bits red when holding a different number then expected (use RMB). CustomChip registers test should now also work over terminalscreen Pre set Address test chipmem A1200 rev1 added Pre set Address test chipmem A2000 rev6 added Auto DatalineText added for some of the Preset Addresstests (32bits&16bits tests that test by each byte) DiskdriveTests only program on adf for faster booting from disk and more chance it can load from disk. ROMUpdate Less use of customchip registers on roomboot to avoid problems when custom chip lines are bad. Pre CPU exception errors output a letter on serial and parallelport Pre IRQ activation will output a letter on serial and parallelport Bug fixing BPLPRI test bug removed Hanging on Serial register int stuck bug removed !Letter codes will wait abit and output a return also on serial and also parallel if it is set on. !Rom files added for A1000 64kb, will use bootstrapROM startaddress, these ROMs have not been tested on a real A1000 and are experimental! Interrupts probably work. !65kb ROM file added for A1000 emulation Update 4.9b RealTime mode added for Hex viewer Parallelcable can be used in terminalmode and works between two Amigas Parallel communication turn on with keysholding at menus p, a, r and alt Readonly mode for addressline testing (different behavour then Read/write and can be used for ROM addresses, can show when oke but not faulty will use a "same" message Keyboardscreen will also show binaire reading keyboard keys Keyboard special codes will show a text comment (keyboardreset, buffer full, transmission error, keyboard selftest error) IRQ monitor test will not block VBL anymore for int counting level 3 CustomChipRegisters Monitor under registers and will mark bits that dont change for checking stuck bits. RMB will try to activate bits for testing and change mode also from each chip to each register for marking bits not stuck. Can scroll up and down with keyboard in terminalscreen boot info and errors ROMUpdate 26 -Hold fire button on 2e joymouseport on boot and let go when screen will show bluepurple, if parallelport all bits are high then it will enter parallelmode -Hold p a r and shift keys on keyboard for parmode on menu -Terminal can do parallelmode -Can output boot errors and info when on parallelcable mode -Program can output displaytext to terminal over parallelcable -IRQ monitor test will not block VBL anymore for int counting level 3 Update 4.8b Configscreen more options for mouse/joystick control Terminalscreen can receive text from ROM version Terminalscreen can list text that is received and will scroll down when needed Terminal receiving screen will loop back when receiving more then 145 lines Less chance of bogus connection between terminal and other computer !Older VATestprogram and ROM version will not work anymore with new version ROMUpdate 25 -Mouse/joystick control update -Terminal mode update -Less chance of problems on wrong connecting -ROM file will not use small colors codes any more -PC with a COMport ASCI program can receive text output of an Amiga with VATestprogram ROMs, set to 115200 baud and will only give boot info and errors -ROM that have no working memory will output some tests on the serialport with text (CIA timers/ CIA register test, some customchip register tests and output interrupt requestregister (you can check for interrupt activity) -ROM 3 boot stages will output S1, S2, S3 -If other memory is used for program, it will output this on the serial -Flashing screen will skip when a nullmodem is connected and terminalmode is open on the other computer. ISOFile updated to latest version Update 4.76b Joystick can also be used to selectmenus Swap mouse and joystick control with letter J and M About 3 seconds holding fire button on mainscreen will swap mouse joystick Right mouse button also works on second port CD32 detection will put joystick as control Right mouse button on second port being stuck will show message on startup Update 4.71b ISO file added for Amiga CDdrives, bootable and can be used for CDTV&CD32 Update 4.7b CD32 NVRAM testing, read/write/(data r/w check)/ delete save file !Makes use of the nonvolatile.library, CD32 should be pre detected !Unlock mode for more testing *ROM Update 24 -Set of Sprites moving to other memory with bad memory -bug fixing -boot errors review -green flashing can be skipped with a left mouse click -speed change green flashing -extra Sprites other then mouse pointer can be switched off -if memory moved it will give a message -better use of program with copperlist off -interrupts avoided when VBR can`t move which will mostly fail CPU interrupts. !Testing on real hardware with heavy memory bus problems, see ROMreadmem! Update 4.69b Hexview search crash bug removed 68000 CPUs PCMCIA Warning message *ROM Update 23 Stackpointer, copperlist, Variables, VBR(020+), Screen and screenbutton map can be moved around when having bad chipmem.
