I originally registered DVPlayer when all I had was an old Sam440ep and it worked on that. It wasn't a great experience with the higher res videos but it still worked :D

The missus is away for Christmas this year. Time to take advantage of it :)

I always loved the high score part of amiboing.

@NinjaCyborg

Can this be confirmed?

I am disappointed to hear this since I was looking at purchasing this for myself as well :(

Oh wow. That's depressing.

Nice. I bought this ages ago when on special but never really got into it. If it gets released to the Amiga, I can see me giving it a proper go :)

Nice. I have been wanting this for ages. Python 2.7 has been useless to me for years now.

That would have scared the hell out of me.

In regards to the potential alert, it is definitely an edge case not many people would have thought of :)

X11 = Linux, RDP = Windows.

I don't have any Windows machines, only Linux which is why I was looking at x11 forwarding to the Amiga. I am lazy so wanted to be able to forward things like firefox to my Amiga when using it and not have to change computers.

To do X11 forwarding, you need to have a X11 server on the Amiga which is what AmiCygnix is. To use it, you generally need to set the DISPLAY env to the host to forward to (and worry about a few security options) or use something like the -X option with SSH which will allow you to forward if the ssh server settings of the host you connected to are set to allow it.

Thanks, came here for some info.

I saw it in amiupdate as well but it couldn't download and just went into a loop until cancelled. I downloaded directly from the entwickler site and installed the update that way.

My upgrade experience has been relatively smooth. Backed up sys:, upgraded and everything still working. The only negative thing I have experienced so far after a weeks use is that the system seems to pause for half a second ever minute or so. This is fairly noticable when listening to music (music pauses for fraction of a second then continues).

I am on a X1000.

Thanks. Point 1 is what I was missing. I was after a terminal to either try and ssh -X or do an xhost + command.

With point 1 I have been able to retarget a few applications as part of my testing.

A few ignorant questions from me on AmiCygnix:
* Is there a terminal that comes with it eg. xterm. I have looked but have not found anything yet.
* I would like to X11 forward from my Linux machine. If there is a terminal will it support ssh -X? I have tried exporting the DISPLAY variable via sshterm on the Amiga side but that failed.

@Raziel

I asked about this on www.amigaworld.net some time ago. I had ordered Wings and Defnder of the Crown. At the time, what email addresses I could find for this new Cinemaware bounced back and their site was badly broken.

The general advise I received was to write it off as never to be received.

@ChrisH

Funnily enough. I only did a Google search to see if anyone had ported Python3 to AmigaOS4 yet. I have been using it for work a bit of late and thought it would be cool to play with it on the Amiga.

@328gts

Any plans of expanding this to A2000 keyboards? My A2000 keyboard is slowly dying and they are becoming rare to find and expensive as well.

@saimo

:( I somehow totally missed this.

If you decide do a second batch I would love to put my name down to order.

I have a physical copy of the original BOH as well as a digital copy of Huenison and would have loved to grabbed what you had advertised here.

I am a bit late to the VPDF party but just want to say that with the few PDF's I have used it with, it makes them a usable option. AmiPDF worked fine but is slow compared to VPDF.

I put my pre-order in but ouch to the exchange rate. The Australian dollar is doing pretty badly atm :(

@Nuder_Try

If you get desperate, you should be able to use any regular Amiga floppy drive. The problem you will run into is the front bezel which is a bit different on the 3000T to most of the other Amigas.

With the memory side of things and going off my (bad) memory, you should at least have 2Mb of chip RAM on the motherboard. The 3000 and 3000T can take up to 16Mb of fast RAM on the motherboard as well but they require special DRAM chips to do so or you could just go a RAM board like a ZorRAM or something similar.
