I am watching your blog and your creations every time you upload something. Reading that blog post was an absolute pleasure of all the information you managed to include in it. I am sure it will be useful for anyone who would like to give it a try and start developing on AmigaOS 4 as well.

Also, it is astonishing for me to see people like you, finding my work useful. Thank you for crediting me in your post.

Nice comments guys. Thank you for sharing.
This is something I would definitely like to test, so I am going to proceed and buy the needed parts. I will let you all know how it goes and if I experience any issues with it.
And also the benefits of switching to SCSI.
My only concern is how I will make them fit inside the A1200 case, where I have many other expansions. We will see.

I was thinking how would it be possible to add an internal SCSI Hard Disk to my A1200 which has the Blizzard SCSI addon. Of course, I would like to add a SCSI to SD converter and not a big scsi rotating hard disk.

The reason I am thinking of it is to get rid of the internal IDE which can do 1-1.5 mb/s but the SCSI device can do from 7mb/s to 10mb/s. Also, that device has DMA support, which I am sure will help a lot under heavy CPU usage.

Now, my questions are:
1. Would it be possible to boot from the SCSI disk? I guess that I will need to alter the Rom to do that, right?
2. Which SCSI to SD device would you recommend for internal installation?
3. What kind of cable would I need for connecting it on the Blizzard SCSI addon?
4. Has anyone done something like that and could share some ideas?

The other thing you can do with my docker images is to run it, and by having a mounted volume, copy /opt/ppc-amigaos and /opt/sdk into your host machine and use them like if you had them compiled on your system. The docker images use Ubuntu, so it should be compatible.

If you want to compile it yourself, at:
https://github.com/walkero-gr/AmigaGCC ... cripts/compile-adtools.sh

you can find a script I use to do the compilation of the adtools, and at:
https://github.com/walkero-gr/AmigaGCC ... /main/base/os4/Dockerfile

you can see what exactly I set up in the system, before I use the script above.

AmiUpdate has a mechanism for rollback. Since this is not used by Enhancer package, I hope in the future we could see a similar feature coming into Updater.

Great stuff for your first app. Well done.

This round up was an awesome read. Thanks.

Wow... Well done guys. Those scores are great. I hope you had a good time with Breakhack. Please keep them coming.

If the Ladybird could be ported I believe the proper way to do it would be to get rid of the QT parts and use only the webview. Reaction or MUI can be used to build the browser and make it feel proper AmigaOS application.

I would be more than glad to see someone working on it.

@daveyw
Have you tried to change the renderer in the SDL prefs? There might be an incompatibility with the renderer you are using.

Please contact me if you need more help on having Breakhack working

@all
Come on guys... Where are your scores?

I had a look at that a few months ago and I saw that it doesn't have any code for Big endian systems, nor for PowerPC, and it is all 64bit-based code. I am far more than an expert for all these but it seems it needs a lot of work to port it. That doesn't mean that someone could not work on it.

If I would do that, I would try to make it work first on a PowerPC-based Linux system and then work on a port for OS4.

Have a look on this

and a good blog post at
https://phoboslab.org/log/2023/08/rewriting-wipeout

great news indeed... Awesome work guys

Excellent idea and tests. I read the blog post and it was quite interesting. Thanks for doing it.

Unfortunately, YouTube does a lot of changes constantly, making it harder for everyone to keep their software working. You did well and informed the YT.rexx dev. If aiostreams breaks, please let me know as well.

It is good that we have multiple solutions.

@AmigaOldskooler
Great read as always. Good to have you back :D

@ktadd
Thank you so much for this new release of your script, and everyone for using MediaVault.

This has messages from "Pegasos2 with RadeonHD/RX via bridge"

@Maijestro
Thank you so much for using MediaVault. To set a different player please have a look at https://github.com/walkero-gr/mediavau ... #set-your-favorite-player

That solution is a "temporary" one, for the last 2 years :D
I still want to make a proper configuration window where user can set things like that.

I agree to keep this competition for the whole of August. And to set the target a little bit higher, here is my score from today's game




Thank you all for playing Breakhack
