Hey all.

Just wanted to say, I finally got round to downloading the version above from the Hyperion site yesterday (You have to have registered your copy)

Re:
FreespaceFull_OS4_1.10.lha 510366633 Bytes 2017-05-17 Full game archive of Freespace - The Great War for AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition

I can't believe how much better it is, it feels like a new game.

So, a quick thank you to all who made this new version possible. It's Brill!

Hey folks, whilst Logged into the Hyperion website, I noticed a Patch for Heretic II

I still have this game from around 2010? (Original Hyperion Box, with 2 CD's) so I tried to install it and it appears to have tried to install the 68k version. Towards the end it failed, saying something along the lines of failed to find IXEMUL48.library? (or something similar)

My point. Is it possible to install Heretic II on AOS4.1 FE u1? If so, what steps do I need to take?

Cheers

Mikey C

@Severin

Cheers fella, I've decided to go for this one it will be delivered just in time for the ANT meeting this Sunday
:)

Guys (& Gals) Advice please. After moving house, for the first time ever I find that I am unable to use the ethernet option on my MicroA1 with OS4 4.1 FE.

Can anyone recommend a way to get a MicroA1 on wireless?

Cheers!

You wait double rations in Sept!

As reported elsewhere, Oliver Wagner has passed away at the young age of 45.

Oliver, brought the Voyager web browser and Amiga IRC (AMIRC) to the Amiga platform in the early amiga days of the internet.

We at Amigans.net would like to pass our sincerest condolances to his family at this time.

I'm currently saving all the pennies for a Holiday, but come next payday, I will get this for sure, Chris H let me have a go at the Demo version a couple of ANT meetings back. I liked it a lot, reminds me of some other game ;)

For what its worth, I seriously doubt its fake

Seen on social media website, Screenshot of AmigaOS4.1 FE bearing the words Update 1 on it..


Can anyone else confirm?

Interestingly there is no official announcement on the Hyperion sites or on the A-EON owned sites..

I have an interesting story about the stability of this MicroA1 - which, I will verify first before actually posting anything.

Anyhow I am pleased to say that the second solution has worked, I now have a fully booting MicroA1 with working optical drive. - All I have to do is put it all back together again, its all in bits at the moment, so I have to afix all the cables, drives, etc back into their proper position. Once that is done, I can think about putting all the applications/games etc back on.

Will post a progress report later :)

I did have a SAM440EP but the performance on that was way worse than my MicroA1 - So I swapped it back!

Just out of interest, have you tried a different memory module?

@Severin

Yep, different combinations/permutations still no go.
Hopefully tomorrow evening I will be a happy bunny :)

An update for those of you who are interested

Right. I have been at it for over 3 evenings trying to get the damn thing to work. (Tried SFS\0 and FFS - No joy)
I have managed to Put an image on it, but that involved using a standard dvd/cd rom (5.25 size) on the same cable as the SSD (40 Pin IDE cable) - I cannot for the life of me, get the Slimline CD/DVD drive to work on the 2.5 inch IDE (44 Pin) at the same time as the SSD.
Both work as long as the other one isn't plugged in. Obviously the case doesn't have room for a 5.25 cd/dvd - So, I have had to splash out on another £11 and got myself a 3.5 inch (IDE to JAE50) adapter. I know this will mean a performance hit on the SSD, but hopefully I'll be able to make it work and fit inside the case.

EDIT (Am reluctant to use the PCI port because I am hoping to try a low profile USB card in there at some stage) The MicroA1 comes with USB1.1 which is sooo bloody slow, It would be quicker to burn the data on to a cd.

I will look into that

Get back to you, thanks :)

@Severin

Nothing

Okay, well, I could try and make the partition SFS\0. However this is really complicated............

Because I like small form factor cases, I got my self a Mini ITX case, in this case a CiT, MTX-005B.
(I had one before, long story, leave it there) see
https://www.amazon.co.uk/CiT-MTX-005B- ... ower-Supply/dp/B008GBUHKI

Anyhow, because of its size a regular CD Drive wouldn't fit, so I have 2 x Slimline DVD drive. But because the Slimline DVD drives (Am only using one, have a spare) only have a JAE50 interface I am having to use a 2.5 inch (44 pin) IDE/PATA cable to JAE50 interface board.

However, with that plugged in with the SSD I cannot get the system to boot. It hangs at the OS4.1 Logo screen.

For those who haven't followed, my hard drive is an SSD which obvioulsy doesn't have an IDE interface, so am using a StarTech.com IDE (40 pin) ide interface to SATA.

Basically, I can have on plugged in but not both, even though they are using different channels that is.
CD/DVD 2.5 inch IDE (44 pin interface)
SSD 3.5 inch IDE (40 pin interface)

Its driving me mad, there is no reason why it should work!!!

@Elwood

Nothing it gets into WB I see the Ram and Sys partition icon and then it stops - no backdrop loaded, blank background and thats it, I can move the mouse, but nothing else.
