Yes, all partitions listed are backups or testing of the OS so they all have Kickstart files and the Kicklayout file. I tried to remove the BootDevice file from some of them but that didn't change anything.

The thing that puzzles me is why the behaviour was different before. What you say about how amigaboot.of works, everything should have been working the same way always.

@kas1e

I have 3 HDD's. For example DH19 does not have boot flag set but is listed in the menu (which lists AmigaOS partitions to boot Workbench from).

I know these are unofficial patches so asking help from Hyperion or A-Eon they might say no because of that. But our community should learn to work together.

It lists partitions without boot flags definitely.

Either somebody must update amigaboot.of to not list everything in the device tree but check the boot flag by itself. Or your code should not add any partitions to the device tree without the boot flag.

Why would you need any partitions to be listed which you can't boot. You don't have any Amiga DOS commands in CFE so you can't access any files anyway. Any reason to do anything in CFE is to boot the machine.

I installed the Sata patch and it's fun how Kickstart modules loads in 0,4 seconds.

But the boot/partition menu has the first entry Update 3 as default now. It should be the beta partition. Do this patch affect somehow that the boot priorities of partitions is not respected ? Also it lists a lot more partitions to boot from than before. Is it because the patch supports more filesystems or it doesn't respect the bootable flag of partitions ?

Now we'll need more speed ups here and there. Is it possible to speed up CFE checking all the ports ? Loading AmiDock takes its time so we'll need icon cacheing. (Or I should stop using AmiDock so heavily and find another solution.)

I had X1000 unstable any process crashing soon after power on. I saw something about newlist or node assert failing displayed on debug info, so that made me to think problem with RAM. Both RAM modules had some dust in the middle of them. It looked a bit yellowish so I thought is there any component leaking. But luckily it was dust only. I cleaned them and put one module back. Now the machine is very stable again. Even gcc doesn't crash any more.

The Fractal case has filters in front of all holes and fans, but it gets some dust inside anyway. Cleaning the machine twice a year is maybe a good idea. Maybe a bed room is not a good place to have electronics, because changing clothes makes the most of dust.

That CFE's memory check command gives the same false values always no matter if the RAM works good or not. Some memory checker utility on OS4 is better to use, I guess.

Trying to find compatible DDR2 RAM might be a problem nowadays if the both modules would break. * knock knock on wood *

@derfs

I have the same problem as others. Trying to run examples I'll get black windows.

Thanks!

UsbAudio 2.3 and Rubix, AHI prefs lists few usbaudio modes at least, but trying to play something it doesn't make any audio output (AmigaAmp). Output and input sliders can't be moved in the prefs.

Also the driver spits so much debug info out that it slows down the whole system.

@kas1e

Nothing was on the serial when locking up. I used pFtp and downloaded a file from Hyperion's FTP. I can't remember the speed.

Tonight I can't use X1000 much at all, it locks up after WB loads every time.

@kas1e

I tried to download 215 MB file and it got to 57% then the whole machine locked up.

@afxgroup

Thanks a lot!

I'm testing the driver with Roland Rubix 24. Any software I'm trying to play with it the piece of software hangs. No crashes and the rest of the system works still.

@kas1e

You are a hero! The device driver seems to work. (I didn't test it much yet.) Thanks alot!

@Elwood

"Memory protection". You asked for one feature only. As a developer I hate when input.device or Intuition crashes or locks up because of some mistake somewhere.

I meant that how do I disable cheats in case they're turned on by default ? ;)

What do mean that "NO CHEAT" mode ? Where/How ?

PS. The Game over animation looks like somebody's shaking their behind ;)

This is one of the craziest games I've seen.

Here's a "tutorial" how to reply to negative comments in the Internet (90s style). (Contains bad language.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_QmvZRS85U

It's funny how that video reminds of some of the Amiga forums.
