Since today, auraFly is available at OS4Depot
https://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=audio/misc/aurafly.lha

@AMIGASYSTEM
That's a pity. To be honest, I was expecting it should work fine, since it is developed using Hollywood. Unfortnately, I do not have a system set up with Aros to test. Do the Hollywood apps work fine on Aros, or is it a generic issue?

@dwolfman
Which version of kyvos are you using? If you use the latest 1.1.0, but you had the virtual system set up with the previous version, go to the Media tab and click on save changes. This will update the config file to make the CD device available.

Trying the new version, and since I was trying to figure out before how to get a CD to load, I went straight to trying to mount an ISO in it after it booted.

Thing is, I get this error: "Error: device 'cd' not found"

According to the FAQ entry, in the monitor window enter "change cd <ISO file path>". Though I didn't preserve the case when typing it in. I'll try that in a moment. And case doesn't matter, still get the same error.

Anyone with a suggestion on what is going on with it?

I would like to inform you that Kyvos got updated to version 1.1.0 with plenty of new features added.

This is available at https://ko-fi.com/s/6476fdadd2

I wrote a post about it at https://ko-fi.com/post/Kyvos-1-1-0-got-released-F1F41IPGEN

and here is a list of the updates

### Added
- Added a context menu at the items of the left list. Now there is a menu showing up by right-clicking on an item at the left sidebar. There are options to Start/Remove a VM and to see the Qemu arguments
- Added a window that shows the Qemu command and the arguments, opening it from the context menu
- Added a better error message when Qemu fails to start, explaining the reason, as returned but the program. This is not available in the Windows version
- Added a button in the Info tab, beside the "VM Path" that opens the folder where the VM files are stored
- Added three new file fields in the Media tab to attach up to three hard disk images
- Added a new window for creating a new hard disk image. This can be then attached to a VM

### Changed
- Removed the dependency to the xad plugin
- It is possible to attach a CD from inside Qemu, as the device is now available
- Various fixes on layout, tooltips and UI improvements (issue #1)

### Updated
- Updated the manual with a new section called "next steps" which is about how to update the AmigaOS 4 system. Also added some extra information in the FAQ section. Overall, 26 extra pages added with information.

@nbache

Thanks for the suggestion! I actually tried using FOREACH, but I couldn't get it to work recursively across subdirectories based on a pattern. To make it viable, I’d need to first feed it the output from a LIST command anyway. So at that point, I don’t see a clear advantage over just sticking with LIST and EXECUTE directly.

@walkero


Please do

Hello walkero, the AROS x86 version of auraFly is not functioning; I am receiving a ‘Guru’ error.

@FlynnTheAvatar

Let's hope another update to the bug report catches the attention of someone who happens to know a solution. But of course there are a number of medium or minor bug like this competing for that attention.

Best regards,

Detailed steps to resize PNG icons on AmigaOS 4.1:

1. Save this script as s:resize.py


2. Install PIL (https://os4depot.net/share/development/library/misc/pil.lha)
2a. Extract to RAM
2b. Execute RAM:PIL/Install_PIL

3. Create a script that calls s:resize.py on each #?.info file. Execute in Shell in the directory containing the info files:

3.a (Optional) Check the t:resize_all script in an editor

4. Execute created script in the same Shell:


EDIT: Please note the *" around %P%N. It is needed because the Path/filenames might contain spaces.

@DigitalDesigns

I am working on a version that works on Amiga OS 4.1. The initial script uses a few features that are not available on Python 2.5. The script is ready, but you need to install PIL from os4depot to make the script work.

Additionally, I need to figure out an easy way to call the script on each file. I keep you updated and I will provide steps how to do the conversion on AmigaOS.

@FlynnTheAvatar

Thanks, i dont know how to run scripts in amiga os.

@DigitalDesigns

The script is something I created with the help of CoPilot in a few minutes. It scans a given file, extracts all the embedded PNGs, resizes them to a specified dimension (default: 64×64), and writes them back as a single binary blob.

It was built with Python 3 and runs on Linux. You can pass in a custom size via the --size argument, and note: it overwrites the input file, so make a backup if needed.

I don’t take credit for the idea — feel free to tweak and use it however you like:


Usage Example — Convert all .info files in the current directory:



Let me know if you find it useful, or have ideas for enhancements!

It's exactly as @FlynnTheAvatar described. Thank you for adding the missing parts to the “infinite icons theme pack.”

Since some users have already reported that the 256x256 PNG icons take a little longer to load, it would be great if you could also offer all icons in 64x64. I hope you can find a solution for this.

Thank you for this great work.

@FlynnTheAvatar

I'm interested in your Python script. Would you be willing to send it to me, or, as DigitalDesigns indicated, I'm also willing to purchase it.

I'd like to extract the second icon. I tried with icontoiff, but I can't get it to output as webp. Icontoiff gives me an error message.

And in IFF, my Mac displays a rainbow instead of the PNG icon.

Thanks.

@FlynnTheAvatar
Thank you for your kind review and the constructive comments!

- Missing Emulation drawer in the Workbench setup
(Emulation drawer will missing but inside icons is there, i will
make this drawer)

- Lack of icons for APPDIR, PIPE, and URL DOSDrivers
(That i know these is missing, working on for them)

You've created a fantastic variety of custom Utilities drawers, but there are no icons for commonly used apps like:
- AmiPDF
- AmiUpdate
- AmiGS
- and more...
(I will make these, some list of commom apps should be nice)


And a few wishlist items for future updates (if you’re taking requests 😉):
- Filer drawer + app icon
- RunInUAE drawer + app icon
- Emulation Floppy drawer
- Emulation CinemawareGames drawer
- IMP3 drawer + app icon
(I will make these)

BTW: I have a small Python script that splits your PNG icons, resize the individual images to 64x64 (configurable) and concatenates them again. The 256x256 are really detailed, but loading a lot of them (e.g. when opening Prefs drawer) takes a lot more time.
(Would it be possible to get a script, it would make importing icons to other platforms a lot easier, I could even pay for it, I understand if you don't want to give or sell it)

@DigitalDesigns

First off, I recently purchased your Icon Pack and… wow. It's absolutely spectacular! Beautiful work!

Based on Maijestro’s feedback, I think he might be referring to a few things:

- Missing Emulation drawer in the Workbench setup
- Lack of icons for APPDIR, PIPE, and URL DOSDrivers

You've created a fantastic variety of custom Utilities drawers, but there are no icons for commonly used apps like:
- AmiPDF
- AmiUpdate
- AmiGS
- and more...

Some minor suggestions:

It’d be great to have a DataTypes folder with matching icons, similar to your DOSTypes drawer

And a few wishlist items for future updates (if you’re taking requests 😉):
- Filer drawer + app icon
- RunInUAE drawer + app icon
- Emulation Floppy drawer
- Emulation CinemawareGames drawer
- IMP3 drawer + app icon

Thanks again for such a visually rich and thoughtful pack — these icons would really look great on my Workbench!

@nbache

Thank you very much for the update.

I found the first mentioning of this bug from 2011. So it is best not to hold my breath until it is finally fixed.

Note I am still compiling on various versions (CPU options etc.), as soon as done the full archive will be ready for all betatesters.

@Majestro: The version you had was BTW the default G3 version. There will still come one compiled for x5000 specific (though I expect no big difference in speed).

The open issue (crash on starting a second game and too quiet sound) I will investigate (specific on Mame 2015 Core issues).
