When geenman decided to take off his drivers (NVme and HD Audio) without any reason, i was suspecting Matthew of having secretly contacting him to include his softwares in the Enhancer Software Pack.

Matthew doesn't want people to offer for free their work (moreover if he can make "more" money from them and add more value to his own software pack). I dont know what was promised to geenman.... but all this drama comes from this.

But anyway, if it had not been a secret (I'm pretty sure Matthew asked Geenman not to talk about this publicly since he wanted this to be a "surprise"), if evertything would have been told to anyone that these drivers will be included in the next relase of Ehancer Software, we would not be reading this thread. And noone whould given a f... anyway. We are used to see drivers included in the Enhancer Sofwtare Pack, no need for secrets.

But well, it's usual in the Amiga world, let's say...

He's a member of Amiga-NG.org

I will point him to this thread.

Thanks !

As you say, not really faster. ScummVM has become slower and slower release after release (not inherent to the OS4 version).

@Raziel

It's the latest release from OS4Depot.

But it has been like that since many versions now. I know Roland MT32 emulation requires lots of CPU power but with former versions I could play without hickups.

A new .ini has not changed anyhing.

Has anyone, ecept me, tried the Roland MT32 Emulation ?

@afxgroup

Any game supporting the Roland MT32 emulation (you need the specific MT32 ROMs) eg. King' Quest VI.

@Raziel and thread

I'm playing with Roland MT-32 emulation bus since latest versions, it's unplayable. Sound stutters and everything becomes slow as hell when playing the musics.

Is there something to do to improve this?

I'll start with my humble score.

@Gebrochen

MiniGL is not supported natively by Radon SI cards.

Only Warp3D Nova / GLES is supported by the Radeon HD driver.

If you want original Warp3D/MniGL support, you will have to either :

Buy Warp3D for Radeon SI
or
Buy Novagridge

The 1st is a Warp3D/MniGL driver developped exclusively for Radeon SI cards.
The 2nd is a wrapper redirecting/translating every Warp3D/MiniGL calls to Warp3D Nova ( https://keasigmadelta.com/blog/novabri ... bility-amiwest-2021-talk/ )

W3D_Radeon.library is the Warp3D Nova library for Radeon cards.

Warp3dPPC.library comes from Rewarp3DPPC, a sort of Warp3D emulation for AmigaOS 4 which needs ReWarp to work (allows to use old WarpOS softwares on AmigaOS 4.1)

@thread

For information :

Version 5.20 2023/05/25
- Fixed a potential crash in the find card code when the card is already in use

Anyway, this game is way too hard (I bought it to support AmigaOS games developments), I can not manage to pass the 3rd ennemy wave.

What is the point of making an annoucement for this update (except promoting your own Updater tool)?

Everytime you update this topic, I hope it is for something about updating one of the key component of Enhancer Software.

But no. AmiSSL can already be updated with AmiUpdate for OS4 (or even dowlonaded directly from many locations).

When you release the A600GS, please create a new thread named "Updater tool for A600GS : latest releases and updates" and use the old one to really announce updates for the Enhancer Software pack for AmigaOS 4.1 (or software being bought from AmiStore).

It would prevent disapointments for us, OS4, AmiStore and ESP users, waiting to have some exclusive updates (and not an automatic ones).

@cloverskull

It will never run with Petunia (OCS/ECS game). It will only work in E-UAE.

@trixie

Same as mine. Really quiet and powerful enouh for everything I throw at it :)

@Thread

Here is what we can do with an AmigaOne X1000 and a Radeon RX560 :

Playing Heretic II (Hyperion - Amiga version from 1988 with audio music) :

https://video.amiga-ng.org/w/8ZDs4T1mvapgJCdJTu42We

No cinematics (resolution not supported?)

Playing a full HD video (1080p) or a heavy compressed 720p video with Emotion (notice the CPU usage for the second video than even 2,7Ghz PowerMac can't read with MorphOS) :

https://video.amiga-ng.org/w/7Vy9jzoX4f98NRgTrsKix7

Playing a YouTube video (Odyssey + aisotream + Emotion) from Invidious (website allowing you to watch YT videos without ads and way lighter than the official one) :

https://video.amiga-ng.org/w/8ttgPzHZgGRsPo6G6ig6x2

Sorry for the "humming sound" in the background, my video capture is not the best of the best unfortunately :(

@thread

I got rid of my R7 250 Southern Island card in my X1000 even though I wanted to keep it for way longer.

And it was the best decision I made since I replaced it with a RX 560.

Let's be honest : except for supporting Hans' marvellous work on Radeon drivers, forget about using Radeon HD Driver 5.x with Southern Islands cards : it will not allow you to play any MP4 (x264) video above 720p (and even most of those ones will stutter).

The only enhancement versus the 3.x version is that instead of using 95% CPU, you will be using 10-15% of it when playing a 720p video (granted it will not stutter, which will be the case with some heavily compressed ones).

And you will lose warm reboot.

With an RX560 (ok, a little hack is needed to make it work on X1000 but it's worth the hassle), I can finally play 4k x264 videos on my X1000! I have lost the warm reboot but never mind.

I also need to use a little hack to get rid of some weird freezes but it causes some tearing sometimes (know bug wich is should be fixed in the next version of the driver).

So if you want to experience the best of your X1000, go for a RX 560 (forget about the RX 580, most of them won't display anything).

@walkero

It's ok, I'm now using Invidious instead of YouTube and it's working correctly.

The problem is of course not the video.

Thanks for the new release.

@AmigaSociety

No benefits at the moment buying the V5 (except from supporting Hans of course).

VA decoding doesn't work well : you won't be able to play video higher than 720p. And you will loose warm reboot.

Best option (the one I chose) : go for a Radeon RX card.
