Neverending story.

Problem - 32 Mhz with tos 2.06 and blitter,
and this blitter warm up to about 25 Celsius - when I move with the window - screen is damage.
when i cooled the bliter with cool finger screen is OK.
On 8 mhz is all OK.
And strangely is: in Tos 1.62 it doesn't happen, only in Tos 2.06

Possible could be blitter is not happy.

Though all these problems is basically why I just stopped making booster for STE, because they are just never ending trouble on some machines.

You could try it.

Nothing I ever tried or needed to do. So I really can't comment.

Great work! I need to get started with mine to get it working. Just installed it when I bought it but never got a screen.

Another Atari, a STfm I was working on, also didn't show a screen. Turns out that I have some problem with a hdmi cable, OSSC, flatscreen or/and scartcable. Display sometimes. *sigh* So it seems that it wasn't the STe fault.

Is your running at 32MHz or 36MHz now?
