Its IMHO not the problem of OS4 but the problem of either your
IRC client which fails to tell the outer world that you
are using ISO-8859-5 or the problem of the IRC clients
of the other folks which dont know how to convert ISO-8859-5
to their current system default charset.


Hmmm, the problem as I see it is that when using the standart AmigaOS 4 bulgarian locale it produces characters with different ASCII codes than the standart ones. When I typed with IBrowse in the google search bar some text it returned something like this:
Quote:
Your search - ?????? - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:


Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
Try different keywords.
Try more general keywords.

When I type it with my handmade keyboard (adjusted for AOS 4.0), even if I can't read the typed text, Google returns what I wanted to find, and the people on IRC read what I wrote, not some unknown characters. So this is not problem of AmIRC at least, but also of IBrowse, but at least IBrowse returns the texts in readable format, even if my default locale is not bulgarian, and when setting AmIRC to use BTopaz it works. I am pretty satisfied anyway, since my hack works pretty ok, for 3 weeks now. I am going to publish it someday.

But I noticed similar problem with XChat on Windows - I switched to some Latin->Cyrillic translation type mode and nobody was able to read what I typed, but I read them.

@poweramiga

The Warp3D plugin in FPSE uses the graphics card, but if there are too many textures and not enough memory on the graphic card for all of them, it uses the RAM from the mainboard, which slows noticeable the framerate. For example when I play TOCA 2 with Warp3D plugin, in the Qualifications the frame rate is faster than in the GPUPete Plugin, but during the race when there are all the cars it's much slower. When I overdrive the other cars, the framerate is back to normal.

@Chris

Don't worry, the bulgarian locale is borked too. When selecting bulgarian and typing cyrilic it produces characters, which only people with AmigaOS 4 can read, but not the folks on the IRC, so I had to make my own keyboard with the correct letters produced acordingly.

@lazi

In my AmigaOS 4 Install, I removed in Devs:DOSDrivers/ all the unnecesary drivers and left only PIPE, and in Devs:DataTypes/ I removed the CDXL datatype, which I am not going to use anytime soon. In my S:Startup-Sequence I commented out the PRINTERS: assign, since I don't have a printer and will bring it back when installing one.

Donate to Spot/Up Rough so he gets motivated to port even more software to AmigaOS 4.

What is the best software release for 2006..


Some major candidates here:

#1 OS 4 final - Positive - finally some major bugs fixed. Negative - AmigaInput gone so I can't use my controller pad anymore. Even after copying the files from update 4 - the joystick is recognised and can be selected in the software, but the inputs from it - movements are buttons are not seen by the software.

#2 IBrowse 2.4 Positive - now I can finally browse russian and bulgarian sites without the need to switch fonts. Many previously unseen on my Amiga sites are now viewable. Better looking, faster, feels much more up to date and modern. Negative - still not 100% compatible with all major sites. Sourceforge.net for example still not shown properly, but usable nevertheless.

Is Earth 2140 running well under OS4? Maybe i should order this...

Yes, I managed to run Earth 2140 on OS4 Final once, but didn't remember which of the four provided exes it was. Me is not a fan of strategy games, so I removed the install, although it looked cool.
