@Capehill This is useful information.

@Maijestro No, I have not tried 3.0.0git.

edit: I downloaded the Buildbot daily build "stable" from
https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/dailybuilds
and while it does eat a lot of RAM, I got it running at least a SCUMM game.

So looks like no public version really works, your mileage may vary: the newlib ScummVM on OS4Depot has a dependency problem except I suppose if you did not update SDL 2. The amigasoft dot net build has some problem, hard to tell because there is no error message or anything else.

Quake 2 is indeed different than Quake:
" The Quake engine was the only game engine to use QuakeC. Following engines used DLL game modules for customization written in C, and C++ from id Tech 4 on."
(Wikipedia)

In other words, for Quake the work was already done when the first port was released. There was no code in mods that would have needed work.

This is because the 1..20 is not supposed to do that, instead it changes the balance of the emulation between the custom chip emulation and the 68k emulation.

As for AmigaInput, I would expect it to treat the two sticks the same and have two boxes, in addition to the hat switch graphic, in the calibration dialog. Instead it has that box and then separate axis for the right stick. So when calibrating the horizontal axis on the right, AmigaInput says "up/down" instead, from what I remember, having done this today.

But I think it's best to not start with the mode button. For instance, in the FPSE emulator (an AmigaInput plugin, to be clear) everything just works if the LED is not lit. A lot of software will not be like this, but will instead support only axes and buttons. Pressing the mode button makes the hat switch pretend to be two axes, but then you lose the fine control.

I think calibrating the unit works better when the LED is off, and doing with the LED on is just for observing.

@AmigaSociety

Is your executable file version 1.1.1 AOS4 Final, from December 2010? That's what is on OS4Depot.

I don't think it has anything to do with calibration.

Even with the keyboard it doesn't behave very well, as can be seen especially in the high score entry view where you can move many steps left and right.

I was able to reach the Leviathan on a controller, an old F310 that seems to function the same but looks slightly different everywhere. So it is not completely unplayable.

edit: I noticed on OS4Depot there is a version a few months newer than what I have installed. 1.1.1 not 1.0. But the highscore functionality is broken in both of them.

While 1.0 joystick handling was bad, 1.1.1 at 640×480 resolution is too slow for my system, which is probably why the input lag is, uh, extreme.

On quitting the 3.0 alpha it produces this. Workbench was still showing more than 40 MB RAM available.

I updated with Amiupdate without any issue, I suppose. Got A1 here through all of the public OS4 versions. I haven't used it that much yet but the USB mass storage seems to do okay.

@daveyw

I booted from a SATA drive in 2011 and probably before that (v. 1.1.1), maybe you mean a mechanism that doesn't need the env variable?

@Elwood

I might have an inkling of the arc that you are running. Still it's more likely that I have it wrong.

Well, you can try https://html.duckduckgo.com/ .
Since you mentioned searching.

Basilisk II uses UAE 68k emulation, so adding JIT is plausible.

Since there already exists multicore hardware, and correct me if I am wrong, multitasking especially when doing processor intensive things should be somewhat improved with an SMP kernel.

Vpdf uses quite a bit of RAM. Maybe similar to what AmiPDF does with the fastest setting, I have not looked into it.

On my A1XE both the SLB boot partition and the BootDevice & SYS: partition show as "SmartFilesystem 1.290 (SFS\02)" in RAWBInfo.

I spent a lot of time immersed in Simcity 2000 and Pinball Illusions, not applicable. :)

I have completed

Beneath a Steel Sky
Dreamweb
Police Quest 2
Police Quest 3
Wing Commander (100 % of the missions*)
Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge (there is three difficulties, I think, and each has unique stages, though it's never completely unforgiving)

Then there's B-17 that I very likely played through, though I don't remember nor find a "retirement screen".

The Amiga version of Flashback is far beyond my capability. It's clearly easier in the first couple of levels.

*: No Secret Missions on Amiga, boo.

Thank you from me as well.

DOSBox-X is supposedly better at WinDOS stuff (ie. not NT).

Curious as to the nature of the errors.
