There is no public driver for it yet. It's been in beta-testing for a while now - hopefully not long before a release!

@BobSacamano

Hi,
welcome to the site! Yes, it is probably the best forum for AmigaOS 4 stuff - lots of knowledgable people here. Also do check out the Hyperion support forum too, though.

Have fun!

Apparently ACube are sending Spectre660 a free Sam460 to replace his broken one!

Yay Acube! :)

I don't understand where all this has blown up from, I really don't. All I see is someone asking that the official AmigaOS support forum should concentrate on AmigaOS, and it wasn't phrased as a demand or as an ultimatum, or even a real complaint. It came across to me as just a gripe about something which was a minor irritation. Heck, he even stated in the same post how much he respected and admired the Linux authors!

I just don't get it....

Am I understanding this correctly?

It seems like someone made a perfectly reasonable point about the fact that the AmigaOS forums had a lot of Linux posts in and wanted a way to filter them out, and that the result of this was that the person doing the Linux port then deleted all posts and Linux downloads, and stopped development of Linux?

That doesn't make any sense at all to me. Everyone goes without Linux just because one person got a little tired of Linux posts in one particular Amiga forum? Seriously?

@magnetic

I've got at least 3 AmigaOS specific programs on the go at the moment.
Hopefully they may even be finished one day :). There are still developers though (Sketchblock, anyone?)

Teac drives are normally pretty good - I use them myself.

The first thing to note is this: Is your Teac drive jumpered to be a PC drive (with the DISKCHG signal) or an Amiga drive (with a RDY) signal? Is it jumpered to be unit 0 or unit 1? If it's jumpered to be unit 1, then it should be after the twist in the cable (PC drives are almost always jumpered as unit 1). If it's jumpered to be unit 0, then it should be before the twist. The twist is there to reverse the unit number so that all drives can be set to unit 1.

I'd recommend just using a standard PC drive rather than an Amiga one, to be honest. The combo drive should work ok, though (and of course in that case Disk0 should be configured to 3.5" PC DS HD 80 track or 5.25" 360rpm PC 80 track depending on which of the drives is used).

Let us know how you get on....! If in doubt, email me as I didn't notice this reply before (hence the thread grave-digging :) )

@zzd10h

Ah, yes, just saw that. Didn't get a notification for some reason.
No crypto lib I can find but I guess it's part of libssl.

Thanks for the help, will give it a try when I can!

Hi everybody,

I'm messing around with OAUTH at the moment - just to see if I can talk to Twitter's servers. However, as soon as I use an OAUTH function, I get a load of unresolved externals. The missing functions seem to be related to OpenSSL but even when I link with -lamisslauto, nothing changes.

How do I use liboauth, can anybody help?

Thanks if anyone can!

This is the first bit of the output (my program is called "Ribbet" :) )

Just want to confirm it works here on my A1XE :)
Well, it works on my PCI RadeonHD anyway. Crashed solid on the 9250, but I expected that. Messes up the display a bit but that's just because I'm using prehistoric RadeonHD drivers (I was a betatester but now need to buy the driver to show Hans support - as soon as a I get my X1000 up and running the driver is on my shopping list!)

The spinny animation thing when you launch an app does look rather like evidence of a coder having fun playing around with graphics routines :)

@amigacooke

Call me a cynic but I very much doubt that the added incentive of allowing a Mac and Amiga version was done out of friendship....

If they're really using Unity, how are they going to release a version to be ported to the Amiga?
Sounds like a marketing carrot to me.... "Pay all this and we'll let you port it to your machine (even though the engine we use is NOT available - that's your problem, not ours)".

@samo79

Thanks for the heads-up, I'll take a look. I do want to keep us up to date, even if it is slower than earlier versions (something that'll matter less and less as the hardware gets faster). I should be getting my grubby mitts on an X1000 quite soon, and that'll help substantially! :)

Great, I'll drop him a line. Getting portmidi working under OS4 may be useful for other apps than just MAME.
Thanks!

@Raziel

I believe so - not sure about its status under OS4 though...?

Hi everybody,

I tried to port MAME 0.150 this weekend, but they've added some lovely new dependencies in the form of PortMIDI (a MIDI controller library) and Mongoose (a web server library). They're both portable, but also both not trivial to port (Mongoose requires sys/poll.h which AmigaOS doesn't have, and PortMIDI - not surprisingly - requires a MIDI layer to interface with, which, again, AmigaOS doesn't have).

Does anybody know anything about these - are they being ported yet? Any advice? I may be able to get them ported, but I'm not sure because of the slightly nasty unfulfilled dependencies....

If I can find the source to it, I can give it a go....

Today I fitted my DLink card (I think it was a G520 or something - can't remember off hand, but I can find out if people want).

Anyway, the important thing is that I'm typing this on my A1XE G4 using this card as my wi-fi!

Excellent! :)

@Breed

If you want the best, most accurate sound there's only one option, really - Vice with a Catweasel Mk4 and a SID chip plugged in (or two for stereo). :)

I think our SDL implementation is rather too out of date and limited for all those fancy 3D effects isn't it?

Maybe with OS 4.2 will come a proper 3D OpenGL SDL.....
