Hi folks! I'm looking to purchase a specific set of English issues of Amiga Future magazine, specifically issues 67 through 82. I already have the PDF versions but am looking for printed copies. If you have a lead, please let me know. Thanks!

Mine is always set to high power FWIW.

I run a XFX RadeonRX 580 GTS XXX Edition on my X5000/20. Works a treat.

Neither the X5K/A1222 U-boot or X1000 CFE code is available publicly, which is a shame. Given where CFE is typically used, I doubt Broadcom or any of their customers would be adding NVMe support.

Of course if A-EON would like to make the source available, maybe someone here could play with it? Hintedy hint hint....

@walkero

I feel for you. Constant changes at YT make keeping a third-party client working an endurance race. Talk to the guys developing NewPipe -- it's just never-ending.

@rjd324

Not sure what that file encoding is at first glance. This is where @Hans might be able to help. The ISO standard here is just referring to the container format.

-- eliyahu

@rjd324

Yes. Your video uses H.265 encoding which is not currently supported by the video acceleration library. H.264, however, is supported just fine.

@skynet

Good to hear. The bottom line I follow with Enhancer components is this: unless there is a very good reason to replace an AmigaOS component with one from Enhancer -- like a specific feature that is new that you absolutely must have -- don't do it. Only install things that do *not* replace AmigaOS components unless you absolutely have to.

-- eliyahu

@skynet

That's very odd. I use both MultiViewer and the WarpDT datatypes just fine. But I do not use the datatypes.library included with Enhancer, only the one included with AmigaOS. In fact I am extremely selective about what I install from Enhancer to the absolute minimal when it comes to components that replace anything included in AmigaOS.

@FirstNinja

No. The firmware doesn't support this, and even if it did, you wouldn't want to do it given the bandwidth challenges. I also wouldn't recommend using the DIU, either. It's very limited in terms of resolution, and there is no acceleration whatsoever.

Hopefully soon there will be an option to use USB-based floppy drives.

This is a trend that I hope the "powers that be" have noticed. We have a small number of talented developers, but that pool keeps growing smaller, many of which leave due to frustration over behavior of Hyperion or A-EON -r AmigaKit.

It is a classic case of being a "penny wise, pound foolish" when it comes to behavior over issues of control and ownership, driving away the people who do that actual work. And it drives away users as well. Every year at AmiWest I've attended we have a new list of things that have happened and people it drove away. If this continues the center cannot hold.

Just food for thought.

@amigakit

I can only encourage you to always push changes you make back in to the main project repos, unless the maintainers prefer you to publish your branches separately. Those pushes should take place alongside any releases you might do, and if you intend to keep separate branding/versioning, it would be best not to align with the main project, instead using a different name and versioning scheme.

This is considered best practices with open-source projects. Given just how emotive this is for many potential customers, please consider doing this as a matter of course.

-- eliyahu

@amigakit

I'm very glad to hear this. It did not seem like you planned on pushing changes back into the public repo based on posts where you mentioned you would provide source to owners of the A600GS on request. I'm glad that was merely a misunderstanding on my part.

Can I assume that any future use of open-source software by AmigaKit will follow this practice of remerging any changes back into public code repositories?

-- eliyahu

@samo79

Glad to see the public reaction had a positive effect.

-- eliyahu

@walkero

I'm gutted by this, but fully understand why. I purchased an A600GS -- and I now regret my decision. I very much appreciate everything A-EON and AmigaKit have done for the community over the years, but this is another example of making small improvements on someone else's work and then claiming the total as their own.

Once is a coincidence, twice is maybe a mistake, but over and over is a deliberate pattern. I am very, very disappointed in this behavior, especially since I think Matthew is a great guy. I just don't understand it.

@thread

Great question. The key tools I use regularly are:

* Odyssey
* IBrowse
* YAM
* StormCEd
* Ignition
* DvPlayer
* Emotion
* AmiPhoto
* pFTP
* Digital Universe
* AmiUpdate
* UnArc
* RNOPDF
* MediaVault
* AmigaAMP

I use others, too, of course, but these are the ones I use the most on my X5000 or A1222.

@mcleppa

It would be very helpful if the user could add a printer manually by specifying an IP address. The 'scan' only looks on the same subnet as the Amiga itself.

-- eliyahu

@HunoPPC

Is there a direct link? Your KoFi site does not seem to render with Odyssey.

I have not been able to get NetSurf 3.11 or later development builds to work on my A1222. DNS lookups always fail preventing connection to external websites.
