Been more in the mood as of late, after Amiwest in NorCal, to play with my AmigaOne X5K more, so today I downloaded and played...

Astromenace

This is an Amiga OS 4.1 game.

Yeh, was just curious if the sale for that bit of kit stated that 400euro or not, or was the rumor of the estimated price.

I too feel it is way overpriced, unfortunately, so don't see tons of these selling.

My train of thought is sell the 1st batches at a cheaper price to get the ball rolling, and make a notice that prices will go up, so jump in now to save some $$, as later date the price may rise, kind of approach.

I guess in the end they seem similar prices as the aCube boards? Maybe they sense that is the price they can sell for but no idea how many aCube boards have sold and now so many years late, they could have done better with a lower starting price point to get folks excited.

Right now I don't see that excitements but who am I, just a old dude that plays here every now and then.

TJ

@trixie

Curious, was the price for the board mentioned back then in the actual sale, meaning they offered a price range it could be?

I know the price of $600 was floated around, or at least that is what my mind remembers.

Just curious if this shoe box sale included any prices on what the board would be in the end.

@rjd324

I have not. I wanted to make sure I give AmigaKit ample time to offer their fix, if any, before I do other things.

If I don't get anywhere with that, my plan is to try your script and if that does not work, gonna do a new fresh HDD with new OS and right to Enhancer 2.

So I have a gameplan, just will take time is all between work and play.

@redfox

The top right is the Boing clock, the right dock is just that, a dock like the bottom one, and notification popups normally appear down very bottom left, so may have been out of screen when I made teh video, but I dod see those appear at times when I run AmiStore, etc...

As it may be time for me to just start fresh again (I like to do that every now and then), I may just buy a new 1TB or 2TB SATA drive and install fresh Amiga OS 4.1 Update 2 and then Enhancer 2 .2 with nothing else to conflict and see what happens.

I don't have enough time to trouble shoot each and every thing that it may conflict with and in the end, don't have the full knowledge of it anyway so may want to just start fresh here.

Now if install bombs after I do that, then yeh, something ain't right. haha

TJ

@levellord

Thanks for doing that. Although I set mine to save that snoopy output, there was no data for me after rebooting the frozen X5K so not sure snoopy will save this during a freezing issue.

I may try again if AmigaKit does not get back to me. I emailed them these same videos and asked for help.

Thanks

TJ

OK, funny I had Snoopy on my HDD and ran before but been ages so I forgot. Here is a video of me running Snoopy while trying a fresh new download (via Updater) of Enhancer 2.2.

As shown in the video, somehow it THINKS I have 2.2 installed. I don't. I guess the past attempt toggles something to make it seem like 2.2 was installed before the crash?

Here is the video showing what is happening. I will post the log next but you will see some Picasso IV shows failing right as the Enhancer Window appears and locks up the system.

Thanks, I will download and try Snoopy today and make a video and post results here.

Guessing Snoopy logs something to a text file before it locks up?

Never ran it before but will tinker today.

TJ

@Magic

I had tried that actually before posting and made no difference. I turned Candi off and tried again... same issue.

Thanks though for the tip.

TJ

a video showing what I see.

** UPDATED 2nd Video & Snoppy Fails. See Below.

Enhancer 2.2 Installer Locks-Up my X5000 before it ever really gets started.


Don't see a software support forum for Enhancer so figured this Amiga OS 4 may be the right spot. If not, please let me know where for next time.

Amiga OS 4.1 Update 2 user. Fairly barebones install with just Enhancer 1.5 and some games and such I have downloaded since last year. I did a fairly fresh install of all last year after starting fresh with a new hard drive.

I double-clicked the installer and tried all 3 install options (Novice/Int/Expert) and all locked up/froze the computer.

The Enhancer splash screen window appears and boom, done.

Any idea what to try next?

TJ

@AmigaOldskooler

I just checked this out for the 1st time and must say, I am impressed how you have consolidated a month's worth of stuff all for easy viewing.

Thanks for this. I plan on checking them out moving forward.

TJ

@mbrantley

awesome!! tj

@all

Thanks for watching my video and that you found it fun.

Be Well.

Amiwest 2023 - a Commodore Amiga Show that has been around since the 1990s, is now a wrap!

Here is my experience this year along with a walk-around of the show floor.

I hope you all enjoy this.

@ktadd

Thanks, yeh felt good sparking mine up again. Always feel good using it for sure.

Take care.

TJ

@rjd324

Yeh, have owned the X5K since 2016 so is a record for me, to keep an Amiga-based system that long. haha

I have been tempted before, as you know, to sell and move on but something keeps me here, hoping, wishing, for better things to come.

Just my nature being a more positive bloke and not resting on negative, it has been hard for me to keep excited about the platform, but I continue to try.

Thanks for the words about the browser. I continue to hope of good things to come.

TJ

Fun Amiga OS day for me.

A little AmigaOne X5K playing George Sokianos BreakHack game, a Rogue-Like dungeon game.

TJ

@walkero

I just tried BreakHack.

Really Fun!

**Hold the help.. appears my TV I used it on could be the issue. Weird! **

** Yeh, TV was the issue. Never had a TV where all worked other than HDMI ports. I reset TV and all is well **

Here is a video of the video I am getting.



Looking for tips on things to try.

Here is the story so far.

Would appreciate any help.

TJ

My AmigaOne X5K will no longer boot.

Story is, I redecorated my office months ago and unplugged it from power. Don't remember how long but guessing lack power cord being connected for a month or two.

Get this flickering green video on turning on my X5K.

Replaced the CR2032 battery, although the existing one was still well over 3v so that should not be the issue.

Disconnected and reseated my video card, a Radeon 7750. Same video issue.

Any more guidance would be great!
