Re: Enhancer 2.2 Freezes X5K during installation

@AmigaSociety

Hmmm, no problems on my X5000 but I have had a lot of issues installing Hyperion updates, to the point that I once bricked my machine. I have found that if I select "Novice User" (I normally select Advanced), the installer doesn't crash out. Bit of a long shot, but give it a go.

What happens if you use NTFS as the file system?

Re: Annoying problem on AmigaOS 4.1 FE Update 2

Not sure I understand your reply, but it sounds like your system was stable for 2 days without using MAME.

This could indicate that MAME is the issue, trashing memory and causing lock ups.

I suggest you contact the author and report the problem.

Thanks, haven't switched my A1200 on since 2020, if I resurrect it, I might get one.

My initial plan for my A1200T back in the day was to expand via IDE, but after trying multiple expanders that simply didn't work I gave up and added a scsi kit to my Blizzard. It was more expensive, but a better decision as it was more expandable.

It worked fine, but with nothing on the internal IDE, took quite a while to boot up.

Just as a matter of interest, what happens if you use your X5000 for an extended period without using MAME? Do you still get the lock-up?

It's unfortunate, but I think alot of people think like Dave - retro computing is still fair niche, and not everyone wants to relive the good old days.

My own first programming came from the Atari 130XE manual. Great days.

Amiga spotted in "Painkiller"

Posted on: 2023/8/21 21:38 #130

Not too shy to talk

Was watching "Painkiller" on Netflix over the weekend, and rather surprised to see an Amiga appear.

The series dramatises the US opioid epidemic. In the early 90s, the company Purdue was pushing the FDA to approve OxyCotin, which was being held up by FDA officer Curtis Wright. Purdue sends him a webcam so they can "keep in touch".

Wright is shown plugging the webcam into the back of what appears to be an A3000. There's no branding, so its hard to tell, but the monitor is prominently labelled "Commodore 1084". It's running Windows 3.1 though.

Very surprised to see an Amiga - or at least a Commodore monitor - being used in a production in this day and age...

I tried selling my A1XE a few years ago on Amibay and got zero interest, so I don't know what the market is for older machines.

Re: Game Competition for July/August 2023- Breakhack !

I belatedly had a go at playing Breakhack. However, when I start the game the menu covers the screen. Apparently, Esc toggles it off an on, but for me it does nothing, and I am stuck with it covering the screen.

Re: Guide for New A1222 Users

Thanks for the interesting guide.

I noticed you mentioned an SDBackup tool comes with the A1222. Is this an Aeon app? Exclusive to the A1222? I don't have such a tool on my X5000 and as I'm currently getting my head around a uboot upgrade, its quite interesting to me.

Do you mean the TimePrefs from Enhancer? It's fairly broken. I haven't seen it randomly change although I have seen it fail to correctly calculate the date as per the rules you select in the UI.

Yeah, I once tried to set up an account there too. I literally received the confirmation email months after I applied, by which time the link had long expired. And no, I don't mean I checked my spam folder months later and found it, it didn't get sent to my inbox until months later.

1. Speed of the C:Copy implementation. Unless a lot in the AmigaOS version changed and was improved, or even better it was reimplemented from scratch, it's a very slow way for copying files and for example ASyncWB is much faster.

Interesting. AEON have built a replacement Copy command in the Enhancer pack, do you know if it incorporates what you have suggested?

Re: Radeon RX cards on X1000

Posted on: 2023/4/27 1:51 #138

Not too shy to talk

Honestly, since I got my RX560, I initially bemoaned the loss of soft-reboot, but now I don't really notice. I prefer to be able to watch full HD videos on my X5000.

As I understand it, soft reboot is only an Amiga thing anyway. It's not that Hans has removed the code, its just that it doesn't work with more modern cards, because they were never designed with this feature in the first place. So bemoaning that we can't drag ourselves forward into the 21st century like Windows seems illogical in this instance.

Hope I don't offend anyone - this ain't AW so don't want to flame.
