Here I use a 1440x900 16 bits screen, I own a Radeon 9200 Pro with 128 MB Ram and I can lauch the 3 demos at the same time (it slows down but it works).

@kas1e

3. Yes you can but you have to wait for them to load.

@Thread

Cool review. It's been written by someone coming straight from AmigaOS 3.x and 4.0 Classic and who seems to use his PegII mainly for AmigaOS 4.1.

He even wrote an AmigaOS 4.0 Clasic review a couple of years ago.

@redfox

I tested and it crashes indeed. I have never encountered the problem since I only open Google links in new tabs so I can keep Google Serach opened.

@Raziel

Yes, it now has

@ChrisH

I encountered the same problem after some crash (and I too had to delete the database)

@gurus200

For people tryning to connect with site requiring logins/passwords, two importants things towith OWB 3.17 :

1? Delete the file named cookieCollection.db from the OWB drawer
2? Check that the tooltype COOKIEDB=cookieCollection.db is active

You can now launch OWB 3.17 and (I have no more problem of login on the sites I usually visit).

Play with a Joypad to really enjoy Huno's ports. What's more, these are for hardcore gamers. Deluxe Galaga is not

@magic

Very nice indeed, I vote for it

@Thread

Ok, I quote the most intersting part of my link (since i guess noone actually read it ), it's about a joung guy whose aim is to have a program that generates C code :

As I said, Amiga-NG is ready to provide an OS4.1 ready system if this should go further.

But I prefer to be sure that this will be possible to port Oo4Kids and I'll contact Corto to be sure we are not going nowhere

@Thread

I know Amiga centric shows are great (Pianeta Amiga, AmiWest, NASS, etc...) but we really MUST go to conventions less Amiga centric to show that Amiga is still alive and usable.

Of course, it's some work (having contacts, scheduling tables, preparing demonstrationsetc...) but we can do it (we demoed Amiga OS 4.1 on Sam440 during Primevere (a French event which focus on alternatives and ecology and we'll dot it in 2010 too), JDLL (as you may know by know) and last year in the city of Colmar.

And the biggest event in France will be the Alchimie 2k9 (already 112 visitors) during which many people outside the community will come and discover that real alternatives exist.

So as said Elwood, it's up to us to start getting out of our little Amiga World and show that other alternatives exist.

What I'm dreaming is a giant European Amiga show (maybe in Germany since it's the middle of Europe, more or less) and lots of advertising to have people coming and (re)discover the Amiga.

Sorry toask but why don't use SimpleMail (or Yam) to retrieve your mails from Gmail ?

AmigaOS 4.1 was really welcomed by the vistors. Some asked me what Linux kernel was running. I explained that AmigaOS 4.1 was different from Unix.

Showing MPlayer, OWB, DosBox and so on was greatly appreciated. To amaze even further the crowd, we sometimes rebooted the OS without closing anything. The system booted fast and without error warning.

Ex Amigans were really surprised to see the system developpment going on. A I said, Voxel could sell 3 Sam boards (and possibly one more).

Regarding the Amiga situation, we did not have yet the information about Amiga Inc and Hyperion so we only explained who was developping the system and the hardware. We focused on the European making (Italian hardware bye ACube, Swiss case by Relec, Operating System by German developpers (amongs others) for a Belgium company.

@Chris : Indeed, a teacher (Eric Bachard, you can see an interview translated by Google here) came right to us and explained us what was his goal and that he was really interested by porting his light OpenOffice on PowerPC. It would be based on Oo4kids.

Matthias 'Corto' Parnaudeau (PointRider, DosBox, etc...) talked with him for a moment (you can see them on one of the pictures). He knows better than me if this is possible or not and what would be required to even start this work ). I really don't know if this will lead to anything but the most important is to have some contacts with these kind of developpers.

Amiga-NG (french AmigaOS 4.1 site) is ready to provide an OS 4.1 ready machine to Eric if he really wants to start porting Oo4kids on AmigaOS 4.1 with his students. He was nonetheless really enthusiastic by AmigaOS 4.1 on PowerPC.

Last friday and saturday, the JDLL (Journ?es Du Logiciel Libre or Free Software Days) were held on the La Doua Univesrity Campus in Lyon (France).

Each year, the French Association Triple A comes to show that a proprietary OS can live with many free softwares (MPlayer, DosBox, OWB, soon TimberWolf, GNash, etc...).

This year, more than the former ones, we attended the show with a great team (Elwood, M Belette, Voxel from AmigaShop, Corto who ported DosBox and developped PointRider, etc...)

We brought there one Sam440 with AmigaOS 4.1 latest version (thanks Elwood) and one AmigaOne G3/800.

What was the most amazing is that people were really impressed by the AmigaOS 4.1 on the Sam440. The Sam440 has caught the attention of many visitors (Voxel should have sold 3 cards to 3 people not being Amigans for the moment). The reactivity, the simplicity and the speedy boot of the system have really impressed.

The friday, these were mostly sudents that came to visit ou booth. The saturday, we met developpers.

Many contacts with developpers interested by the PowerPC architecture and the possibility to developp on AmigaOS 4.1 were made. We hope all this will lead to something real.

Here is the report unfortunately translated by Google since I lack time to translate it by myself :

Do not hesitate to ask questions aout this event. I'll be glad to answer

@Tuxedo

I've just bouht an sii3114 PCI card for my AmigaOne and all that I can say is that it works extremely well.

I've added a 1,5TB Hard Drive connected to the SATA controller. The hard drive is split in 3 partitions (2 SFS2 and 1 JXFS of about 500MB each, thanks Joerg )).

@QuikSanz

The best option for you is to find what are the controllers are on this card (NEC for USB , VIA for IDE and SII for SATA would be great for instance).

@Joerg (if you read this post )
I cannot optimize the partitions on the SATA HardDrive, is this normal ?

@Antique

Yes, that is also the big trouble since we all come from different countries, it's pretty sure banks would charge anyway.

Nonetheless, having the money on a bank account that generate interests would be a great idea BUT this bank account should be someone's we RELLY trust.

As uou see, it's not that simple

@kas1e

Huno's ports are excellent for those who love real shoot'em ups (very oldschool).

Huno put a lot of work in his ports (optimizing things and testing the softs on AmigaOne AND Sam440).

Moreover, most of his ports support joystick.

@afxgroup

So you confirm Joerg quitted the development of WOB. Too sad

Good luck going on on this.

@MichaelMerkel

So you don't really know how to use AmiTheme. A simple double click on "D?sinstaller" (Uninstall) and you are back to your original theme.

The way Sinsirus implemented the installation of his themes is far easier than any other ways.

Of course, it's in French for the moment. I prefer seeing Sinisrus going on working on his themes than messing up with an English version of the site... for the moment.

Regarding the installation of Themes, just install them all and then use the icone named AmiTheme to navigate beetwen them and chose the one you want to use.

If you don't like any of them, then click, as I said, on "D?sinstaller" and everything is back as before.
