On OS4Depot is available amigaos4 port of SDLPoP. I tried it and the game runs fine but the game intro is very very slow with audio lag... but then the game is ok... anyone else tried the game? I have a Sam440ep

I have a Sam440ep mini itx and I had a micro amigaone and there is an entire world between them. The only advantage of the micro amiga one is the CPU Power that is a G3 800Mhz. The micro also has problem with internal ide chip, indeed if you enable dma and try to watch dvd with dvplayer you will encounter random freezes due to the via chipset. A workaround to this problem is to add a pci sil3114ide card to the pci slot. The sam gives you modern ram, modern hard drive (sata), new audio onboard (compared to the micro) and stability,stability and stability and also a new gpu that is a9250 instead of a radeon 7000. Then if you take a 460 you have an entire new world of possibility like for example the graphic card..

thanks to all, I'll keep you updated with my progress

ok i try to follow the guide and see if i can adapt it to linux
Thanks!

Hi, during this period of quarantine i am playing with small open source projects and i was able to build them on my Debian machine (following the instructions). Now I would like to setup a cross compiling environment in order to try to port these small projects on amigaos4. Is there any updated tutorial for this?

thanks jabirulo,

sorry for my late reply, tomorrow and after tomorrow i will look into it and see if i can find a solution. Alternately i can try to make the reverse connection, Amiga as server ftp and linux that connect to it..

@jabirulo

thanks jabirulo i tried also with old version but nothing changed..
i don't know what to do..

Thanks pvanni, i tried both with and without but it doesn't work..

ok i was able to set smbv1 for my linux samba server but even that my amiga still refuses to connect. I suspect that I am doing something wrong..

Here is the smb.conf of my machine, any hint is appreciated

ok i try and tell you
thanks

today i spent almost all day try to connect my Sam440ep using smbfs to my linux machine.. Everytime i tried to connect to my shared directory i get an error message:

but the settings (under linux/debian) are ok as I am able to connect to my shared folder with my mobile phone with android..

This is the string I use to connect under Amiga and I use the latest smbfs version available on OS4Depot (January 2020). Any idea?

you are welcome

I am a Sam440ep user so, like you, I cannot user the new Radeon Drivers and indeed I bought the special edition that contains all the software you talked about except for the new radeon drivers. So, if you want to use it under Winuae, my advice is to buy the special edition as it runs even on a standard Amiga1200 with AmigaOS4.1FE

Thanks Raziel,
I followed your instructions but still AmigaAmp didn't work for me but at least i discovered how it runs midi files and I discovered that its timidity.cfg file points to gravis.cfg file which pointed to gus library so i edited the path of that gravis.cfg file (it was very easy with the function search and replace) and with one hit of mouse button I replaced the path for all sound and now it works!
Thanks

@Raziel

First of all thanks for the reply

May you help me please? i get lost, sorry pal but i am really a newbie about midi and timidy. I just installed Timidy and, if i remember well, i just did an assign and so i can play midi file using gus library(is it correct to call gus directory a library of sound?) and hear midi sound when i play doom.

I didn't know, reading the config file, that I can improve the gus library with better sound fonts??

About AmigaAmp, sorry pal, but I didn't understand exactly what I have to do..

1) I have my Timidity installation with inside the gus directory in the Work2:Musica/Timidity (that's the path)

2) i create a timidity.cfg file with the text you put above and then? where I put that config file?

3) and sorry here i create the myconfig.file and then?

if you wish i can send you an email ..

Thanks

i "have" a request if possible or if there is a workaround it would be awesome

i am using the last version available on aminet that's the 3.27 for AmigaOS 4.1. I am very happy that now it support midi files with the GUS library but unfortunatly the GUS library must reside in: SYS:Utilities/Timi/GUS
As i have few megabytes left in my Sys: partition, is there a way, maybe with an assign to make it points somewhere else? or,even better, to choose the path under the preferences of the program?

For the Assign i tried the following command but without luck:

Assign "PROGDIR:Sys:Utilities/Timi/GUS:" Work2:Programmi/Timidity/gus

but it doesn't work..

Any help is really appreciated

Thanks

thanks, I tried but nothing changed.. thanks anyway

Yes, you are right, good point. Is there anyone that can test this behaviour?

I don't know if this thing has already been pointed out but I found a conflict when using x-dock together with Sgrab. Indeed both programs use the combination "Amiga" + "H" to hide/unhide themselves so when I press that combination of keys they both disappear.. Maybe, is it possible to edit the key combination on X-Dock ? (I don't know if Sgrab is still developed and the coder is still around..)
