Re: Graphic Cards

@nubechecorre

I know this is a rather old thread, but did you have any luck getting this working?

As I am just about to try doing the same thing with my old sam440ep mini-itx system that I have not used in the last 2 years, to allow me to drive a modern display at 1080p.

I have already purchased the standard version of the enhancer pack to get the Radeon driver, hope fully the v1 driver will be OK, as the sam440ep is too slow for video playback and most 3D stuff anyway going by past experience.

Plus if I get it working I may just pay the extra £50 for the latest v3 driver, but I don't want to spend more on drivers before I even start shopping for hardware if its not going to work.

Thanks.

I guess I will just need to wait until they fix it again.

AmiUpdate still seems to be broken for me I am getting Error parsing database file Line 668: Unexpected end of file when ever it checks on update.amigaos.net

As this is the first time I have had my sam440ep booted in 6 months I don't know when the problem started, but I would quite like to install an updates that have come out since OS4.1 Final was released.

Well if you have a link to a newer build you would like me to try I would be happy to do some testing for you on my sam440ep's onboard video.

@Hans

Yes I can confirm that Grim works runing in hardware mode on my sam440ep using on board video. Enabling hardware mode also makes the game run at a playable speed, unlike in software mode.

But it does seem to have a few clipping glitches with Manny being draw in front of the lift doors when they shut and a few other little glitches like that, but so far know of them have effected game play. I don't know if the issue due to the onboard video on the sam440ep or if its a ResidualVM so it would be nice to hear how Grim runs for other people in hardware mode under OS4.1FE or OS4.1 update 6.

Myst 3 also lunches without crashing but my sam440ep does not seem able to play back the audio in real time so its not playable.

I have already entered my details, its always possible I miss typed them.

Is there any way to check the login details being used as I cant find them listed in the AmiUpdate settings?

@TSK

I have tried going the muidev.de website, but I cant get any of the download links on the website to work, so it could be that downloading from that site is currently broken so that's why the update is failing.

Re: Cloud sync between OS4.1FE systems

@Chris
I actually have a Raspberry Pi that I am not using for much mounted on the back of the Monitor I have connected to my sam440ep using a vesa mounted case. It sounds like its time to get larger SD card for it and set it up as a ftp server to syncing files between my OS4 systems.

ftp sounds like a good option as its what I used to use to transfer files to and from my non towered A1200 system in the passed as I always found the Amiga ports of samba to be a bit temperamental and I prefer to keep things simple.

@All
Thanks for the helpful idea's.

I am planning to fit a new HD to my sam440ep this week and do my OS4.1FE install.

So it will probably be next weekend at the earliest before I get the chance to try and setup ftp syncing.

I will try and remember and post how I get on here so we can compare notes and other OS4 users can make helpful suggestions and learn from my mistakes

Fixed: OS4.1FE AmiUdpate failing to download MUI-4.0-2015R1 Update

OK I have installed OS4.1fe Classic under WinUAE for now have network support up and running.

Other updates have downloaded and installed with out problems but for some reason I cant get it to download the MUI update, so is this a know problem or have I some how messed up my OS4.1 install already?

On a positive note so far OS41.FE running under emulation on my MS Surface Pro 2 is looking at lest as usable as OS4.0 (the last version I tried of OS4 on a classic amiga) was on my Classic BlizzardPPC060/200 tower system.

So it would be nice to get the MUI update issue resolved so I can try installing my copy of Hollywood 5 and Hollywood Designer 4 to see if they are usable under WinUAE and OS4.1FE.

@ChrisH

Some sort of ftp sync may still work for remote access for me from Windows, as my Draytek router can be used to created an encrypted VPN connection.

I would probably need to setup sort of dynamic dns system and and a cheep domain name as working directly with IP addresses is a pain, even when your external IP Address does change very often.

Cloud sync between OS4.1FE systems

OK after the scare stories about OS4.1FE possible becoming unavailable I have purchased it for Both my classic Amiga with a BlizzardPPC card and my sam440ep now the question is what is the best dropbox or onedrive like solution for transparently transferring files between and Windows PCs.

I know this may seem like a silly thing to worry about with the other stuff you can't do natively under OS4, but my past experience seems to suggest that I can do most types of file editing I care about on a next generation Amiga and I can easily rdesktop to my PC work PC if I can't, so that just leaves me with the problem of the best way to transfer files back and forward.

As I have not really used my sam440ep since getting married back in 2012 and my A1200 Tower since shortly after OS4 was released for it I am hoping cloud computing has not totally left the Amiga world behind.

I have also been told that running OS4.1FE under WinUAE is possible so I may also need to give that a try (at £25 for OS4.1FE I can afford to by another copy to run on my Surface Pro 2), so any advice about that would also be welcome.

I think the Main thing I want to be able to do is take photo's on my phone and edit them with ImageFX and Photophenics then pass them to my Surface Pro without needing to swap memory cards about or have any device other than the one I am using switched on and to hand at the time

@ChrisH

Lets just hope A-EON are thinking the same way as it would be nice to see fix up releases of the software they have purchased available soon (some time this year, rather than years from now).

Then they can take the knowledge they have gained from patching the applications to help decide on what priority give to producing native versions on the applications based on both more realistic time scales for the native ports and likely benefits.

And we can all benefit from being able to purchase and run more stable versions of the existing software on OS4.1, MorphOS and even expanded 68k Amigas or 68k emulators while we wait for native versions becoming available there practical.

@ChrisH

I expect a number of the programs would benefit from small patches to the 68k code to make them run better on next generation AmigaOS's such as OS4.1 and MorphOS. So even if the code is rather a mess and hard to make a native port from its probably still worth having.

That's not to say that I would not like to see native ports were practical. Its just even my repetitively slow sam440ep is much faster than my old 060/PPC A1200 Tower, so classic 68k software under the built in 68k emulation on OS4.1 can be very usable as I am sure you know, as long as its stable.

Plus it would be nice to have things like support for using the mouse wheel and support for using fonts other than topaz at fixed size so we can take proper advantage of our nice high resolution modern displays

Sometimes I think far too much priority is given to trying to replace all 68k Amiga applications with native versions.

Re: POLL: What graphics card(s) do you currently use on AmigaOS 4.x?

@Hans
Yes is looks like quite an even split between users such as myself running OS4 still using older hardware like (in my case a sam440ep with onboard M9) and more modern OS4 systems with PCIe graphics cards.

Which is reassuring as although the numbers are low it show people are still investing in my systems and upgrades for existing ones.

I myself have no plans to purchase a new highend system such as an x1000 or the like as its just too expensive for me, but will probably upgrade to a newer PCIe based sam460 in the future.

Thanks for the update to probably my most used Amiga program since getting my original BlizzardPPC card back in the 90's.

All the little fixes add up and help to make AmigaAMP an excellent Music Player and have helped me feel I made good use out of my little sam440ep.

No they crash just as fast on the sam440ep non flex as I have one and all the warpOS software crashes either after a few seconds or on startup just after the WarpOS logo for the emulation library is displayed.

WarpOS emulation was never really worked on anything but Eye Tech AmigaOne's as far as I know.

Your preview version works perfectly thanks

Now I just need to ask the developers working on the DOPUS5 port to fix the default name clash between DOPUS4 and 5 so I don't need to resort to hacks to get the screen name right.

As at the moment the first version of Directory Opus run always gets the screen name DOPUS.1 and the second DOPUS.2 even if one is DOPUS4 and the other is DOPUS5. In the past
I worked round the issue with ARexx script but it would be nice see if we can get a real fix now both are open source.

Anyway thanks again as its the little tweaks like this that make Amiga programs so nice to use.
