@GuruMeditation

Almost half a year has passed since the last status update. Can we have a new one, please? I take everything, even bad news (hopefully not).

Everyone who's interested in the news, SAY IT NOW

Can I use it to predict the result of the lawsuit?


Just kidding.


Welcome and thanks for the support forum, BillE!

@joerg

The Wipeout already works. As I already wrote, I just did not cold-rebooted when switching from OS4Final to OS4pre4.

I will try the tooltypes, thanks joerg! But I am afraid the difference is in the gfx card. Let's see.

@nubechecorre

Yes, let me share my disappointment when I run A1 for the first time. What I always wanted to see and play were the great PPC games I read about in various Amiga magazines before but at that times my 040/AGA was simply not enough, you know.

Now, while waiting for my A1, I bought many original games and it was the first thing I wanted to try on the new computer. But I have to say I did not expect SUCH A PAIN!!!

At the beginning, it was fun - I saw my first GrimReaper ever. "OK, nice", I told to myself. But as the time went by there were more and more GrimReapers and other problems. 3 days passed and I was not able to install a single game! What a mess? "I cannot play Amiga games, my favorite Amiga programs freeze and GrimReaper has became my best friend. What is this machine for??? Is it the real Amiga? ", I kept asking myself.

The only game that installed flawlessly was the Simon the Sorcerer I & II and big thanks to amigakit.com for such an easy installer. But that was all. No more games. For example, there is an original PC version of Quake2 included in the package and I installed it on my PC in a few moments! But the Amiga version took me several days to run successfully. Needless to say there are still some games left that I have not managed to install at all (see my previous post).

Well, no offense anyone. These are just my first thoughts about A1/OS4. Something has to be done in this area. Games are the important part of every computer platform, aren't they? I cannot imagine a total newbie to Amiga world solving all these hassles like me! He/she would quit/sell the Amiga after first 10 GrimReapers, I believe. Some kind of guide or support website would be great, especially for Hyperion games, so the new users (ACube/OS4 or whatever) won't get disappointed with their new computer and OS.

EDIT: typos

BUMP

Quake2 and Wipeout2097 work.

Heretic II: still crashes on OS4pre4 even with native ixemul installed. It displays yellow recoverable alert at the end of installation when the registration window is about to open. I have Radeon 7000. Please help.

Shogo: still no go. Freezes as soon as the launcher is displayed. I experimented with the CDDA tooltypes, I also tried to disable them completely but with no succes Joerg, can you list your working tooltypes or send me the .info file please?

Good news, welcome Richard!

Got mine yesterday. I like it. Thanks Andreas!

What do you think about the magazine?

UPDATE:

Heretic II: still crashes on OS4pre4 even with native ixemul installed. It displays yellow recoverable alert at the end of installation when the registration window is about to open.

Shogo: still no go. Freezes as soon as the launcher is displayed. Joerg, can you list your working tooltypes or send me the .info file please?

Wipeout2097: works great in OS4pre4. Thanks!

Quake2: works. I copied the pak files directly instead of unpacking them with UnArc.

I can't believe it.
It seems the problem was in AddNetInterface command in startup-sequence. I added RUN inf front of the command and everything is fine now. I wonder why there's no RUN by default?

Thanks to everyone for your help!

@Rogue

Thank you very much. I'll try it and let you know.

@wizzard_o

WELCOME!

@Snuffy

Yes, I always cold-reboot when switching between Final and Pre4.

Both startup-sequences are default, actually both partitions are fresh installed.

I exchanged the battery. It did not help, unfortunately. Any ideas please? I would be grateful for any suggestion.

@poweramiga
How? Have you copied the powerppc.library from OS4pre4 to OS4Final? What other libraries/files/steps are needed, pls?

@joerg
Thanks. I'll try it.

@joerg

Shogo have installed successfully however it freezes as soon as the ShogoLauncher window is displayed. The same with demo version.

HereticII gives yellow recoverable alert with the os4 version of ixemul. It happens when I am asked for registration details at the end of installation.

Both on OS4pre4.

EDIT: The Quake2 works now, more or less. I copied .pak files to installation folder directly instead of unpacking it.
