Thanks for relaying your findings on this project. This is very cool. Would love to see a video showing your A1200 expansions as well as the setup in action.

Nice video! It captured the event perfectly. It was great hanging out with you and everyone again.

Here are my photos from the recent AmiWest 2023 show in Sacramento, Calif. It was a lot of fun!

This roundup is a great service. Thanks!

That's a great poster by Mr. Toast! See everyone at the show.

Thanks for working on this. The effort is appreciated, and hopefully rewarding to you.

I have nothing constructive to add to the discussion, as I'm still sporting R9 270 cards in my two X1000s. But I do want to thank you all for continuing to test and push ahead with the RX cards and drivers and patches and CFE workarounds. We may get there yet, with full speed, full resolution video and no hangups, and so at least one of my machines may get a new graphics card and some new capability to make me smile.

Ah, OK. So mainly looks. I like the old-fart looks so I'm good there. Haha.

@kas1e

I continue to enjoy the OS4 port of DOpus5 and have not yet tried Filer. Are you saying it's much more modern than DOpus5? Maybe I will give it a look.

Happy New Year to all lovers of Amiga, and to all who love the Amiga lovers. :)

@geennaam

Good to see you in action. Know what you mean about going long stretches without powering up. Happens with me too. I'm in a fairly active phase at the moment, but of course this is not super important to too many people because I'm no programmer. Haha. But good to see you working on making things "juicy," as Raziel said above.

@walkero and friends

Thanks for your initiative and drive to work on this project. This sort of thing gets an old Amigan excited.

I think in our little community it is reasonable to develop for and state that an application will run on a base of AmigaOS 4.1 Update 2. I don’t see the point of running an older version of the OS on this particular platform.

Excellent. The new version is working fine on my X1000.

@eliyahu

Same experience here.

Thanks, guys. I had a great time on this trip. It was so very pleasant to see old friends again and to make new ones, and to meet in person for the first time friends from online. Am feeling good Amiga vibes again thanks to my amigos.

Had a great time at the show this year. Unfortunately, I am unable to afford to attend every time, but hopefully I will return at some point. :)

I am not certain if Google Photos is very friendly to Amiga browsers. Unfortunately, I have lost my previous web domain where I hosted pictures. Am open to suggestions for some place where I can host these images for free that might be more accessible with Odyssey, iBrowse, etc.

I had just enough time before leaving the house today to install the new RadeonHD 5 driver and also Enhancer 2.2 (well, parts of it) on one of my X1000s. I had not ever upgraded Enhancer to the 2.x level but seems video acceleration is desirable.

From what I'm reading in this thread I should not be expecting much of anything in the way of improved video playback just yet, which would be my main desire. I have Emotion and MPlayer but not yet the new version of DVPlayer. I will try the various tweaks you guys have suggested in player settings but will surely achieve the same results. Over the years I have been able to play 720p videos with some reliability but 1080p or better has been a bridge too far.

Probably I should have bought an X5000 instead of a second X1000 motherboard back in 2015, but I was thinking of it as a backup bit of hardware for a machine I loved. Heh. Anyway, still mucking about on the X1000 trying to have some fun and make the most of it.

I have two X1000s with R9 270 graphics cards and for years have desired the ability to play 1080p videos smoothly. Are we ever going to get there on this machine? This ability is something I would pay for. Are we there yet?

X5000 has a little faster clock speed and faster memory. X5000 also has fewer ports and slots.

X1000 has a little slower clock speed and slower memory, but it has Altivec. X1000 also has more ports and slots.

Advantages and disadvantages for each. I have two X1000s but probably better to have one of each.
