BTW, Mirror can also be useful if you have installed new stuff on your SYS:, tested and made sure you can still boot, and you then want your emergency copy freshened to have the same updates.

So the command for Mirror should be like this?

Mirror FROM System: TO SysBack: ALL UPDATE VERBOSE

I don't own an A1222, but the ES2 comes bundled with it. I think you bought an extra copy unnecessarily.
When you purchased the system, you received a USB drive containing the installation version of the system. It is highly recommended that you make a backup copy of this USB drive.
There have been instances where the contents of the USB drive were accidentally damaged.[/quote]

My A1222 is a "developer/early adopter" second hand system, so it didn't came with Enhancer.

I replaced the original SSD with one bigger and used a bootable USB drive with the installer succesfully.

Now I want a backup of System so I don't have to start from scratch again.

Quote:

If you have the opportunity and need to make a backup-do not back up the system to the same drive/partition. If possible, buy a new similar drive and make a 1:1 copy.

Yes, that is also a good idea. I may use the original SSD for that. That way I have 2 emergency disks/partitions.

If I remember correctly, you can also make a system backup using a program by @joerg (sorry, I don't remember the name, I think it's the AmiDVD player)... there's a description somewhere on the forum.

Quote:

EDIT:
One more important note. The system that comes with the A1222 already includes ES2 components.
Some of these components are included in versions other than the clean AOS4 system from Hyperion.
It is not recommended to install the entire ES2 package after updating to UP3.

I have unpacked the Enhancer package and I'm adding bit by bit what I think could be useful, without overwriting any file that is already in System. The sound driver for example and gadgets/images for getting Clock, Calendar, MultiEdit and Multiviewer working.

Now I'll have to do the same for the RadeonHD driver and Warp3DNova, etc.

When creating the copy from your newly installed Update 3 partition to the Emergency backup, I'd recommend using the new Mirror command from Update 3 instead of a simple Copy. It will among other niceties preserve the links correctly, for instance in your SObjs dir.

Thanks for the tip. One problem I see with Mirror is that it replaces the Kicklayout file with the one in DH0 and deletes the BootDevice file in DH1.

I'll add a reminder for that in my "cheat sheet" for creating/updating my Emergency Boot Partition.

nbache wrote:@emeck

Another thing you might want to check is whether you have any explicit references to your first partition (volume name or device name) in any saved prefs (e.g. WBPattern used to have this problem) or in your AmiUpdate prefs setup or places like WBStartup or AmiDock. You probably want those to refer to SYS: instead, so they correctly point to your new partition when you have booted that, and vice versa.

WBPattern and WBStartup OK. I had to change things in Amidock. Another check for the "cheat sheet".

I see some things in Env-Archive also use DHO, but I suppose those are harmless, right?

Thanks! I did as you wrote and also changed the label in the kicklayout file in DH1.

In U-Boot I can see both boot partitions, selected #2 for DH1 (the backup) and booted to AmigaOS in a different resolution and workbench backdrop that was set in the DH0 one.

So I guess it is working correctly.

Thanks again for the help.

Now to mess with Enhancer.

Emergency Boot Partition

Posted on: 5/7 18:22 #5

Hello.

I just installed AmigaOS 4.1 FE Update 3 in my new A1222 system. I bought Enhancer 2.2 but before messing with that, I want to be sure I have a backup.

So I have created a DH1 partition (SysBack) with the same size as my DH0 (System).

All I have to do to have an emergency boot backup is copy DH0 contents to DH1 an set the boot flag? What boot priority should I set for this backup partition?

DO I have to set something else in U-Boot?

Regards

@trixie


Currently, the next milestone is improved documentation; Protrekkr is very complex and tutorials are needed so that people can start using the program.

Will those tutorials be aimed at novice users or more focused to experimented user/musicians/composers?

I would like to learn how to use trackers but sadly I have zero music background, so tutorials in how to get starting with tracker, even for someone like me would be nice.

I bought M.A.C.E. Tower Defense for Android and Spencer, Super Star Blast and Pyramid Quest for Switch.

I'm playing Pyramid Quest now and like it very much, cause it reminds me of Montezuma's Revenge, which I loved to play on my C64.

Really nice games. Keep them coming!

I would like to go but I've already booked a flight to Peru (which will also be a great time). So next time for me.

I'll be waiting to read the show reports and pictures. Have fun!

I think it is because your audience target. Maybe this helps?

Sign in to studio.youtube.com (Web studio only).
On the left menu, click Settings.
Click Channel.
Click the Advanced Settings tab.
Under Audience, select:
“No, set this channel as not made for kids. I never upload content that’s made for kids.”
Click Save.

Edit. Or better:

"I want to review this setting for every video."

I have no SDK:local/c but SDK:gg/bin/ (and also "gg:bin" and "bin:" assigns). No gdate command there but there is date. Your command works with this but not with the one in C:

I had a similar problem with AmigaOS 3.5, couldn't view images with multiview and WB backdrop didn't load unless using low resolutions. After adding RTG problem solved.

This is the config I use now in E-UAE and works fine for the occasional use I need. Just add the filsesystems you need and the path to your rom file.

I remember something similar some years ago, but don't rememeber if it was here or another website. Something like the Developer of the Month was shown on the top left or right of the page and during that time users could click the donate button.

Maybe something like that, with a link to the donate button of the developer/group/whatever, and some info about past and current projects she/he is working on now?
