Hi. You have to click it inside the product information window. Not in the balance information.

@K-L

Yes I am very sorry, I found the bug and I have fixed it (turned out to be a small error in the code).

I will release v.623 immediately with the fix through AMIStore's Live Update. Thanks for the feedback.

No that does not sound right at all.

It should be:

1 Select your product
2 Click on buy
3 Since you haven't got the money, you will be prompted to put the software in the Shopping Bag
4 Go in the shopping bag
5 Click on checkout
6 You browser opens on Paypal and you can pay (with VAT and so on)
7 Wait for funds to credit to AMIStore account within 10-30 seconds (do not close AMIStore)
8 AMIStore will start to authorise the purchase
9 My Purchases/Download window opens automatically where you can download the item.

I am fixing this bug right now... stand by.

@ddni

V1.2 was uploaded yesterday to AMIStore. If anyone cannot download it for free and you have bought the v1.0 driver in the past, pmail me with your user ID and I will look into it for you.

@Chris

If you need any info from me for NetSurf, please let me know.


@eroom

Odyssey works here with AMIStore when set in URL Prefs:

@ddni

In AmigaOS URL Prefs:

Have you got it activated under the HTTPS tab?


Active | Client Name | Client Path | Commandline Format

@sicky

Please use the same username/password combination that you have for the RadeonHD driver download.

@K-L

Yes this software is still Beta so still needs additional work. Feedback is most welcome.

@ddni

The 0.34 is the transaction fee, for some strange reason is shows as P&P after the sale.

However during Checkout it does list it as Transaction Fee.

VAT needs to be calculated at end depending on where the user lives. Users outside EU do not pay the VAT.

@eliyahu

hehe, thanks :)

I would be happy to put money personally into that bounty. Terrific idea.

Some of the AmigaKit team travelled north to Manchester, UK this weekend for the Play Expo 2014 show.

For those of you who haven't heard of this show, it is a very large computer event with around 25,000 + visitors. A quarter of the show is dedicated to "replay" - this is a retro computer section of the show.



A few years ago, we started attending this show primarily to support the nice guys from Amibay.com. They work very hard to make an Amiga presence at the event every year so we decided to support their efforts in making the Amiga section larger with more Amiga specific exhibits.

This year, both A-EON and AmigaKit had a table showing Amiga Next Generation and Classic Amiga.

On the Friday, we finished our work at 2pm and filled our vehicles with a plethora of Amiga hardware and software. The long drive north to Manchester lasted 8 hours due to heavy traffic on the M6. Exhausted and tired, we arrived at the venue at 8.15pm. When we arrived, we were in main hall which is *huge*, it seems to they eye as vast as a few sports fields combined, like an over-sized aircraft hanger. There was a flurry of activity as the other exhibitors were busy setting up their stands in preparation for the next day and we were told that some would be there past midnight!

We were shown to our location next to the Amibay.com members. It was great to see them once again and they were helpful in getting us setup. We decided to half set up and return the next day before the main show to complete the process.





Saturday started at 10am and we had an hour to get ready before the show opened to the public. This year we decided to set up an Amiga 1200 computer with multi-player games and an Amiga CD32 with Microcosm running. On the A-EON stand, we had a white AmigaONE X1000 computer system running a beta of AMIStore. Our third section contained upgrades, software and hardware from Individual Computers and Elbox. We also had a large selection of boxed Amiga games on request from a few customers. We showed the new Tales of Gorluth from Amiworx as we thought this would be interesting to Amiga gamers as it is a new Amiga game in 2014.



Several customers kept our Technician, Christopher, busy asking about various problems and ailments with their Amiga systems. Chris was hoarse after the first day with all the talking and discussion. He fielded questions about many diverse subjects ranging from broken CD32 lasers, capacitors, Amiga audio circuits, defective composite outputs, Amiga 1000 power supplies and that is just what I overheard! Together with the visitors to our stand, Chris brain stormed several repair problems and I hope they result in a few more Classic Amigas being brought back into use.

Merlin from Amibay.com has success in bringing a CDTV to life, unfortunately we did not have any CDTV discs to test it with. His Cub monitor sadly did not survive the trip to the show.

When I attend these events I am always amazed by how many people out there hold special fond affection for the Amiga. They are outside the active community so we had many questions fielded about the AmigaONE X1000. There was astonishment at the advancement of the Amiga Operating System as many did not realise it was still in development. We demonstrated the power of the X1000 and also ran many Classic Amiga titles to show the level of compatibility.

During Saturday, we had long discussions with the friendly Cinemaware team who visited us at the A-EON stand. Cinemaware games have always been special for me and I suspect many Amiga users over the years. So I was very excited to see the new Wings game which played very nicely on Chris' laptop.



I was pleased to talk to "DJEcho" and hear his new tracks that he has composed on OctaMED. He uses an Amiga 1200 and SAM system to make music and he had many demos of his work at the show.

The Saturday event ended at 7pm so we headed off for a hearty meal after a long day.

The following day started promptly at 10am.

The latest Amiga Forever 2014 seemed to generate a lot of interest and I demonstrated its features to some ex-Amiga users. They had not seen the package before that and were also surprised that the Competition Pro USB joystick had been remade in USB form. One customer told me that the combination of both were small enough to "slip past he wife without her noticing that he had bought more Amiga stuff" !

During the day, we met a few users from Amiga.org and EAB and it was great to put names to faces. Thank you to everyone that introduced themselves to us.

The Sunday show day ended at 6pm where we packed up our stands and made the long trip home. We got back to the office just before midnight - fatigued but it was satisfying to meet so many of our regular customers and new faces.

Next stop: Amiwest.

Very sad news. RIP.

It is strange as I was wondering just today why he had not been posting in a while.

DVPlayer website is back now at its new URL, please update bookmarks and links:

Don't forget there are certain developers on this forum that deserve the full credit for the software and the many hours of hard work. I am sure that Trevor will reveal all of this in due course, nearer release.

About five months ago, we put in a special request to Hyperion so that the extra memory available on the AmigaONE X1000 and future A-EON systems could be used in AmigaOS. I am pleased to report that they implemented that feature now, here is the relevant recent post:

http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/v ... _id=38969&forum=14#733065

Hyperion have stated that more details will follow in due course when they are ready to publish news release.

This was an important feature that our customers told us they wanted, so we are very happy that it is implemented now. Of course work carries on with more software support.

@K-L

It is great if new A-EON software runs on older systems. We are all still here because we love AmigaOS and everything the Amiga represents. We wouldn't work hard every day for long hours if we weren't passionate about this computer and the operating system.

However, A-EON is run as a business that needs to break even at best and even make a reasonable profit in order to invest in new projects in the future. We owe this to our existing customers and future customers to be a sustainable business that looks after their investment in A-EON hardware.

Progressive hardware such as the AmigaONE X1000 and future Cyrus motherboards have faster performance than older generations of AmigaONE and newer software projects will consume more system resources such as CPU time and memory through the new Memory API that Hyperion have just announced. These new projects are beneficial for the whole AmigaOS community by bringing new users and developers into the fold. Looking to the past isn't going to help us, we need to be progressive.

If more core users upgraded, then the second hand market would benefit from these 10 year old machines being offered to new users that may want to taste AmigaOS 4 but at a lower price before making a larger financial commitment for the likes of the X1000.

An X1000 maybe a big initial commitment, but if you are keeping the machine for another 10 years, it's value spread over that time is justifiable.

It will appear on AMIStore as part of A-EON's commitment to produce new software for AmigaONE X1000 customers.

Some software will of course work on older AmigaONE machines but the software will become increasing more complex in the next year or so to take advantage of the new hardware resources on A-EON present and future systems. But if you are using a 10 year old system now, isn't it time to support Trevor's investment in the Amiga and upgrade to a new system?

I am referring to Prisma sound card for Classic Amiga

If you are running AmigaOS 4.1 Classic and MPlayer has support for the new Prisma.library then audio decoding load can be taken off the CPU. This is most welcome on the Classic Amigas running AmigaOS 4.1. We want to encourage developers to use the Prisma library as much as possible.
