See autodocs of locale.library/FormatDate:

%H - hour using 24-hour style with leading 0s

The second h is just a h. %Hh will give you 22h at 10 pm.

There is no such thing like a "program in ADF format".

ADF files are backups of floppy disks. You have to write them back to floppy or mount them in a virtual floppy drive to do anything with them.

Note that most games do not run from a virtual floppy drive because they access the floppy hardware and do not use operating system functions to read data.

Some virtual floppy drives:

Software to write ADF files to floppy disk:

In order to keep it as simple as possible I would do something like this:



char WindowTitle[256] = "MyTitle";

strcpy (WindowTitle,"TitleEnteredByUser");



Just make sure that the user cannot enter more than 255 characters.

That's not what you told the compiler.

If you declare a variable like this:

type *var;

then "var" is a pointer to "type". And if you later reference "*var" then this means you are referencing the "type" which "var" points to. If "type" is int, then you reference an int.

This really should be obvious.

NewObjectListPTR is a pointer to an int, so *NewObjectListPTR is an int. You assign ObjectPTR2, which is a pointer, to that int.

I am not sure what this line actually shall do. If the code works correctly, you could do something like

*NewObjectListPTR = (int)ObjectPTR2;

but that would only prove that you don't know yourself what the code is doing.

Better declare all variables so that it works without a cast.

You also have to add the name and path of the file to the Kicklayout.

You can do anything into the Kickstart directory but only what is mentioned in the Kicklayout is loaded. Everything else is just ignored.

Nonsense. Both MorphOS and AOS4 allow to set the boot device by parameter or Kickstart entry. So the best way is to give the OS 3.9 partition the highest boot priority, set boot drive parameter in MorphOS and add boot drive text file to OS4's Kickstart layout. Then you need to enter the boot menu only once, no matter which OS you choose.

This is not possible. You could theoretically remove the SIZE parameter and turn all /S in to /K/N, but then you could no longer write 3 GB but had to write GB 3 or GB=3.

Another possibility is to keep the /S and turn size into /N/M. But then you could no longer tell which number belongs to which unit. For example you could write 1 MB 2 KB 3 GB but the program would make 1 GB, 2 MB and 3 KB of it.

Even now you can already use 1 KB MB GB and the program would use 1 GB because it checks for GB first and ignores the other switches if it finds GB.

In addtion your calculation is wrong. 3 GB are 3072 MB and not 3000 MB, so 3 GB + 466 MB is not 3466 MB but 3538 MB.

"I don't think you need to install again. The 68k is deactivated by OS4 anyway. "

Better ?

@badgerme

I don't think you need to reinstall. The 68k is deactivated by OS4 anyway.

You can download Freespace demo from Hyperion's web site. It contains V31 of chunkyppc.library.

@CountRaven

The message means that a previous write process was interrupted and that now an automatic validation process is running in the background.

The worst thing you can do is to shut down or reset the computer while it is validating. You should just wait until it is finished (click on Retry regularly).

Fortunately in your case the validation process was already finished and after the reset all worked normally.

Sounds like a transmission error between the HDD and the controller. Try to reduce the DMA speed in UBoot and make sure you use an 80-line UDMA cable.

@orgin

You should not examine the code without knowing which message you got. You will get a raw code for a RAWKEY message and an ASCII code for a VANILLAKEY message.

If you request both, Intuition will send a VANILLAKEY message for all keys for which one ASCII characer exists (i.e. letters, numbers, Esc, Return etc.) and a RAWKEY message for all other keys (i.e. cursor keys, function keys, qualifiers etc.)

Here are examples for various format functions:

http://www.amiga-news.de/forum/thread ... id=25548&BoardID=7#257442

It's for OS 3.x, though, i.e. FormatString32 is not contained. But it should be similar to the older FormatString.

It should work out of the box. Uninitialized is not good. Check with the old hardware if it's still recognized. Perhaps you damaged it during the transport.

How (and where) did you connect it to the PEG ? How (and where) was it connected to the Amiga ?

The netbios-ns message comes because nmbd is not running. Windows seems to flood a malfunctioning computer with requests.

Nmbd usually fails to run if it cannot write its log file. Use SWAT in extended view mode to check if all configured paths do actually exist (extended view also shows default values which are not written to smb.conf).

Also check the log files for interesting messages. Usually the log files contain useful hints.

And don't blindly believe an idiot's guide if you aren't an idiot.

No special software is needed. The CF card is handled like a hard drive. Just use HDToolbox to install it.

If HDToolbox does not see it, then the CF card you use is not compatible.
