I am unaware of any drivers that the X5000 is missing. Are you able to tell me what driver is omitted?

We bundle the Enhancer Software v1.5 with the X5000. This contains an advanced graphics sub system of 2D drivers, 3D driver system with shader support, ethernet driver and a lot more.

We do not leave customers with the standard OS4.1 install which contains graphics drivers which are 20 years old and completely unsuitable for a modern platform such as the X5000.

No updates? I have released a lot of regular downloadable updates through our Updater tool which is supplied with the Enhancer Software. The last batch of updates were just six weeks ago and news was posted here and Amigaworld.

No information? I spend many hours updating and maintaining our official Wiki for customers: http://wiki.amiga.org/enhancersoftware

Information about any file updated is maintained here: https://www.amisphere.com/updater

All of these resources are updated frequently throughout the year.

Bugfixes are identified and discussed in support tickets through our Mantis Bug Tracker. The bugfixes are offered as downloads through our Updater tool.

User bug reports and constructive feedback are of course most welcome. We encourage this to continue. Hans collates the bug reports and this feeds into defining the development objectives. He is just one very talented developer, he has unique skills and we do not have anyone else of his skill set to co-work on these projects. So we have to identify the most appropriate development needs and address them one by one.

The nature of your posts on this forum about our activities are not the way to go in providing feedback. Given the fact that we have a private beta forum and mailing list and your have direct access to email, I would suggest this is a better way of communicating these matters.

Furthermore, conflating the criticisms surrounding Hyperion's stewardship of the OS4.1 project with A-EON's separate Enhancer Software project simply leads to public confusion.

Quote:

Absolutely not related. Your posts in public on the forums have nothing to with my release schedule and will certainly not influence it, sorry. The work that Hans has been doing is a collaboration of our monthly development meetings and were planned out some time ago to match our commercial objectives.

Before I start my answer here, I will emphasise some points that some posters on this thread seem to be confused about:

1. Hyperion are solely responsible for the development of OS4.1 - no one else. They have made this clear many times in the past.

2. A-EON Technology is a hardware manufacture but also develops the Enhancer Software. The software's primary purpose is to fill in the gaps for A-EON's paying X5000, X1000 and A1222 Plus customers. Where OS4.1 falls short, the Enhancer Software compensates. This is part of A-EON's customer service to it's customer base who have paid their hard earned money for the hardware A-EON has produced over the years.

3. None of the software on the Enhancer Software is part of the operating system. It is developed independently to meet different commercial goals. The Enhancer Software enables A-EON to respond to the software needs of A-EON hardware users independently of Hyperion's OS4.1 roadmap. If events consume Hyperion's resources and they cannot develop OS4.1 for a period of time, the separate independent code base of the Enhancer Software means that A-EON's projects are unaffected.



I understand that there are a lot of users disappointed with the lack of OS4.1 updates.

There are some on this thread that seem to want to deflect the perceived anger/disappointment from the shoulders of responsibility of Hyperion to A-EON.

* If there are no OS4.1 updates: this is not A-EON's domain of responsibility.

* If AmiUpdate does not distribute system updates as regulary as some users like, once again that is not in A-EON's control.


What is A-EON working on?

The AmigaDeveloper.com Team has been working steadfastly for some time on improving the Enhancer Software. Software Updates are distributed to customers through the Updater tool. In fact the last updates were sent out to customers on 23 August and communicated here on this forum and AmigaWorld.net.

Last year, the Enhancer Software Core v1 was released free of charge to users at Amiwest. It featured in the Developer Conference. This Amiwest, A-EON is releasing v1.1 of the Enhancer Software Core free of charge.

The X5000 Plus will ship with the Enhancer Software V2. This large body of work has been primarily developed to compliment the X5000 Plus and it will be installed on the X5000 Plus. Of course, we are also aware that the wider OS4.1 community will benefit on it's release.

Today the following public releases have been made on Updater:

Thanks to Andy for his quick fix.

RadeonMem DockApp is included in the Enhancer Software 1.5 in the DockApps directory which is a sub directory of X Dock v2 itself.

Today the following public releases have been made on Updater:

W3DN_GCN.library v1.65

@xenic

Hi

The RadeonHD v3.6 is a paid upgrade only for users who have purchased the Enhancer Software Graphics Upgrade pack on AMIStore- it is not included in the Enhancer Software 1.5.

Anyone the purchases the Enhancer Software Graphics Upgrade will receive the forthcoming Enhancer Software v2 for free.

@skateman

Good video, thanks.

In Updater you can set the default download directory in the settings window. This will save you having to navigate to it every time using the file requestor.

There is a nice animated Notifications bubble you can also optionally switch on when downloading files.

See here: http://wiki.amiga.org/index.php?title=Updater

I will release V1.60 of Warp3D Nova on Updater tool for public use this week.

@xenic

Version 7.3c is now available to download from the Updater tool to all registered users

@Lio

If you add them as an icon then Dock Apps will do nothing and just their icon will be added to the Dock.

You should instead add them as a Dock App in X Dock Prefs and they will then operate as Dock Apps inside X Dock. There is an icon “Add Dock App” underneath the Listbrowser and a requestor opens in the DockApp directory so you can select the Dock Apps to run.

With the recent important release of the RadeonHD Version 3.6 driver, the official RadeonHD Driver Wiki page has been updated:

RadeonHD (30/11/2018)

You should have:

Libs/ogles2.library v1.22
Libs/Warp3DNova.library v1.58
Libs/Warp3DNova/W3DN_SI.library v1.58

Did you use the Enhancer Software Installation script to install Warp3D Nova or did you install each component manually ?

@Raziel

What graphics card do you have ?

You can switch on effects in Spencer in the options screen accessible from the title screen

@Raziel

you own the Enhancer Software Standard Edition which includes Nova. Download latest Enhnacer Software version 1.4 from Updater or AMIStore and run installer. You can install Warp3D Nova and OpenGLES 2.0 libraries.

In the Installation_Files/SDK/ drawer are the Warp3D Nova examples to test it.
