Hi Holymonkey. that's a bit hard to answer without more info. can you post a picture please?

HD installed i assume? what screenmode are you running Workbench in? RTG is off?

[SamuraiCrow]

Yes, as Hungry Horace said, you must be in an Amiga Chipset screen resolution because the AmosPro editor doesn't support Picasso96 modes with chunky pixels (these would be listed as UAEGFX modes).

I'll do that when I get the chance.  In the mean time, is anyone else using amos in WinUAE that could send me their config file that they use?  I've been messing around and got amos to work properly once..I then used the same config but just added another "hard drive " and then it (only Amos) was back to having a gabled screen.

I just found this:

I'm guessing that wil fix the issue for me too Ill let you all  know once I have a chance to try...

YUP.  That fixes it.  I  updated Amos pro to version2.0, then installed the compiler....now it runs perfetly.  No garbled screen.  Strange.

Did you select AGA mode in WinUAE for the older version of AMOSPro? (Some CPU settings might also break it.)
It had known incompatibilities with AGA which were fixed with AMOS Professional 2.0 (included with the compiler). WinUAE will perfectly reproduce these bugs in AGA mode. I'm not sure if it had problems with ECS also, but it was originally designed for OCS (i.e. the original Amiga 500/2000). The 2.0 patch fixes all compatibility issues.

There was also an AGA patch for AMOS The Creator, version 1.35 I believe, which also made it fully compatible with the Amiga 1200/4000/expanded CD32 (but didn't take advantage of the new chipset features, same as with AMOSPro).

Older versions of AMOS/AMOSPro could still be used on an AGA Amiga by the "Early Startup Options" (holding down both mouse buttons immediately after starting the computer), selecting Original chipset (and maybe disabling the CPU cache), then launching AMOS. AFAIK, this setting is only temporary for one reboot.
