Looking for Top Model, installable

@Chris
I use this Version on RPCEmu (StrongARM) with 3.71 and it is working without bigger problems.
It fails on RPCEmu and 4.02 and 4.39 and a real RiscPC with 4.29 and StrongARM.
With Aemulor… no success with all of my machines.

Thanks for the info. Raik.

Hi Chris, My apologies for the late reply, My mam has died a few weeks ago so I’m in the middle of getting things settled. I’ll reply as soon as possible.

Condolences. I know how hard that hits. 🥺

Hi Chris,

I have TopModel-2 Version 2.07 running on my RiscPC. I have tested TopModel 2.15 and it also works. The 2.15 version is the same version as on my website www.markerdesign.be.

My RiscPC is a StrongARM OS 4.02 not a OS 3.??
I have set boot to look at !ChangeFSI Version 1.16 and Png2Spr Version 1.33.

There must be a reason way TopModel works fore some people and fore other it does not.

I have send an email to Paola with the question which software needs to be on your computer and seen by the filer for TopModel to work properly… up until now no answer. She may be on vacation so I’ll send a reminder in a week or so.

I had to poke Paola several times, but I’ve gotten an answer to the questions about TopModel. The question being what does TopModel need to work properly. It seems to be only two things !ChangeFSI and !TopRes.

Way it is so dificult to get TopModel working fore some people is still a mystery.

Despite being a fantastic bit of software, it was always very buggy even on a Risc PC running RISC OS 3.7, so I am not surprised there will be problems the further away from that you get.

I’ve been talking to a few programmers in Holland home told me it is huge task to get TopModel Working on 32 bit hardware. Hey suggested to get TopModel working with Aemulor on all platforms would be easier to do, and less work. Personally I feel that is a road with is a dead-end…
