@sailor

Thank you, this chart is very useful. And I just got my hands on a Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 as well.

Thanks for all the help.

Yogi

I have another question. How about a Radeon R5 220? Would this card work with the Radeon drivers and Warp3d?

Yogi

Thanks everyone for the input. I appreciate it. I will take all this into account and make a decision about what to do with this old AmigaOne 500. Or maybe I will save the card and put it in one of my newer unassembled machines. I not only have a Sam 460LE board, but I have an A1222+ as well.

Yogi

Hi Everyone,

I have a question about the graphics cards for the Sam 460 boards. So my really old setup is an AmigaOne 500/Sam 460ex with a 250 watt micro ATX power supply HIS Radeon 5450 Graphics card. This setup has worked for years no problems. Uboot 2010.06.05a. Yes, I have never updated the Uboot in this machine. Latest Amiga OS 4.1 Update 3. I also have Enhancer Sofware Release 2 and Enhancer Software Plus Edition installed. I have Radeon RX V2.12, Radeon HD 3.7 and Warp3DNova.library. I do not have Warp3D Nova bridge.library or Radeon HD V5.0. I was waiting on the new Enhancer Package to come out and will get that when it does.

Here is my question. Is the ASUS Radeon R7 240 Low Profile PCI-E 3.0 Video Card R7240-2GD3-L work in my AmigaOne 500/Sam 460ex (I know it is listed as a working card on HDLabs) but do I have the right Radeon drivers and do I need to update the UBOOT? Also, I want to verify it will give me Warp3d abilities. Also, is a 250 watt power supply enough for this card (I know the Sam 460ex does not draw a lot of power)?

I assume the card would work fine with the Sam 460LE motherboard I own since I bought it a year ago and has the latest Uboot and all that.

Any input would be helpful.

Thanks,

Yogi

Hi Everyone,

Okay, might be another bug but probably just because this program is so old and has not been updated. When copying a large amount of files from one USB device to another using diskmaster (V2.7) (both USB devices are massstorage devices), once it gets about 1/3 of the files copied, it stops copying and just sits there. I have not seen this bug until this Update. Performed the same action with Directory Opus 4 and no problems. Everything copied perfectly.

It would be great if someone would updated Diskmaster or compile it with the latest gcc. It hasn't been touched since 2007.

Also, I am playing Ultima 7 using Exult. It works pretty good for playing the game even though it was ported to OS 4 in 2004 and it runs fine with the latest Update to OS 4.1. It would be nice if someone would port the new version over. Ultima 7 really is a great game.

Okay, I installed the new mouse driver and replaced the update 2 bootmouse with update 3 bootmouse in kickstart and I happy to report it is working now! Thanks turbo41 for the driver. Much appreciated.

Yogi

@Hypex

I am using this driver to Hypex. Radeon HD 3.7 since I have an old Radeon card in this AmigaOne 500. That must be the problem. Like I said earlier, I am waiting for this thing to die to upgrade and I really don't want to change the video card. I bought a new Radeon card for the A1222+ I have and haven't assembled the computer yet. Well, it is manageable, actually, I put back the new update to the bootkeyboard kickstart module and it has been behaving better, less hanging on reboot.

Yogi

Hi Everyone!

Okay, some more to report. First, my machine still hangs on boot sometimes like Hypex describes. It definitely is the USB and this needs to be fixed. I tried putting the old keyboard bootkeyboard.usbfd from Update 2, but that did not fix the problem. I still had to replace the bootmouse.usbfd back to Update 2 or my A-Eon Logitech Boing mouse does not work.

On the update from programs running side, AmigaAmp plugin BlueShift 1.1 and Widespectrum 1.3.2 freeze up after a while of music playing. What is funny is that the 68k version of Widespectrum runs fine indefinitely and so do the other 68k plugins. I like to let Christmas music play on my AmigaOne 500/Sam 460 24 hours a day so I was able to test those plugins for extended times.

On a side note, I have bought the A1222+ and another Sam 460 board, neither of them are assembled since I am waiting for this original AmigaOne500/Sam 460 to die. I have had it on 24 hours a day for almost 13 years. I only replace power supply from time to time and the hard drives once. Even the original cards are working fine. I am afraid to update the original Uboot that I might brick it so I haven't done that. Maybe it will never die! LOL.

I will be back if I discover any other programs not working under Update 3.

Yogi

Hi Everyone,

So, I figured this would be a good thread to post everyone's experience and any bugs with Update 3.

First, the bugs. I have an AmigaOne 500 with the original Uboot and a Radeon 5450. (Yes my setup is super old lol.) Okay, my mouse stopped working right. I have the A-EON AmigaOne Boing Mouse. To fix this, I put back the old bootmouse.usbfd and that fixed it. I also have the AmigaOne A-Eon Keyboard as well, and after a while, My AmigaOne would not boot into OS 4.1, it would just hang at the splash screen after loading kickstart, but I noticed the caps lock and num lock were not working on my keyboard. I then went back to the old bootkeyboard.usbfd and that fixed that problem as well. This could be related to the fact I have not updated the UBOOT on this machine since I bought it over 10 years ago. But I thought I would report it anyways.

One last bug, on the screen blanker, I am unable to change the screen resolution for boingball.blanker v53.14 but the blanker itself works fine.

My experience with the update is great. My AmigaOne 500 is noticeably faster now including the internet speed. The updates to the graphics library, exec, and roadshow made a noticeable improvement for sure. It also fixed the bug in ScummVm (latest version) which would crash on loading if I quit it and loaded it again. That bug is gone for me.

Overall, I am very pleased with it. Thanks to Hyperion and everyone involved.

Yogi

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for this! I am so glad we have this emulator!

Yogi

Hi Everyone,

So....is anyone interested in porting this to AmigaOS 4.1. We could use this emulator to add to are other great emulators!

Yogi

Hi Everyone,

Is there anyone interested in porting the Atari 2600 emulator Stella to AmigaOs 4. There is an old port for AmigaOS 3 on aminet.

With the release of the Atari 2600+ it would be nice to have a working Atari 2600 emulator running on AmigaOs 4.

Also, thanks to everyone that has brought us so many great emulator to AmigaOS 4.

Yogi

Hi Everyone!

Yes, Amiupdate is back up. Just change the server to amiupdate.net.

Thanks for getting this back up.

Yogi

Hi Everyone,

Amiupdate server is still down. Like I said earlier, is the owner willing to let us host the site ourselves. Start a fund me and get it back up. Any updates about what is going on here?

Thanks,

Yogi

Hi Everyone,

This is has been down for a while now. And it is a very useful part of OS 4. Has someone got in touch with the Simon Archer to find out what is going on. If he no longer wants to host it, maybe we can get someone else to host it or get a donation going to get it hosted somewhere.

Yogi

Hi Everyone,

Question about the new SDK.

So a program like this:

#include stdlib.h
#include stdio.h
#include string
#include iostream
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
cout << "This is a test";

return 0;
}

(This will not let me put the Greater than/Equal signs around the #includes, must not be editing this right LOL)

So for GCC 6.4.0 I get this:

/SDK/newlib/lib/libc.a(stub_wcsftime.o): warning: newlib.library 53.68 required for wcsftime().

And same message for getwc(), ungetwc(), and putwc().
Now it compiles and runs correctly just has the warnings.

For GCC 8.4.0 it is completely broken.

I get the same message as above, plus opt/adtools/native-build/gcc-native-build-8.4.0/ppc-amigaos/libstdc++-v3/include/ext/atomicity.h:95: undefined reference to '__gthread_active_p'
And whole bunch more.

Iostream is the standard input/output for c++. Do we have the standard c setup for the new SDK GCC versions? Is there a fix for this? Am I missing something?

Yogi

Hi Everyone,

It appears to be corrupted saved preferences. I deleted them in ENV and it is running better now. Thanks guys for all the help.

Yogi

Hi Everyone,

I do have asyncio.library 50.3. Hmm, something is going on with this. I will attempt to redownload it and report back. Maybe something is corrupted on my Workbench install.

Yogi

Hi Everyone,

I cannot get any version of AmigaAmp past V3.29 to run on my AmigaOne 500. I have an AmigaOne 500 with OS 4.1 FE Update 2 and A-Eon Enhancer V2.2 installed.

It loads and plays an mp3, but when I start selecting menu item, it crashes. I noticed in the change log, that some reaction pulldown menu work done between version 3.29 (which works perfect for me) and V3.30 which does not.

Anyone else notice this?

Thanks,

Yogi

P.S. Waiting on my new Sam 460LE Board.

@AmigaSociety

Hi Everyone!

Too bad you are not willing to ship it. I would be interested but I live in Chicago. I have always wanted one of these machines and not sure when A-Eon is going to make anymore.
