Great video! Even if you did make me jump a bit... ha!

Thanks for the updates!

I got the "Application can't be opened" message too. Not sure why on this one.. I know how to sneak around Apple's current locked security systems, but this doesn't make it that far.

Greetings!

I just tried this on my M3 Pro Mac (ARM). As per previous messages, the Hollywood player for ARM OS X doesn't run.. it says it is corrupted.. Using the Hollywood player for X64 Mac runs just fine on my M3 Mac! I had no errors at all, and I could easily transfer files in both directions!

This is a great program!

I did just see the message about a native OS X version. I am guessing it is a 32 bit program, as it won't allow me to run it at all.. I am not sure the current versions of MacOS, even on Intel, will run 32 bit code anymore. I seem to remember that they don't.

Thanks for all of your work on this! Let me know if I can help test anything else!

@interrogative

Have you found a place to buy the case/keyboard/etc? I would buy one of these boards, but I don't have an old Amiga 1200 to install it in.

Great to see you posting here!

It was a fun video. I really need to do more with my Amiga!

@AmigaSociety

I agree! More my speed!

- Slygon

I have been looking at this one too. I may have to buy it now!

Thanks TJ!

I am thinking about doing a full upgrade and refresh on my X5000. I want to get a better video card, maybe a newer hard drive (not sure), and then do a clean install and make sure everything is up to date. I haven't been using my machine much, so I figured now was the time to do this. My questions are as follows:

1. What is the best, most compatible video card these days for Amiga OS? Is it the RX 580?

2. Any issues doing a reinstall of the OS after I install an RX video card? I do have Enhancer 2.2, but it won't be installed until after the OS.. I will need to make sure I can at least see the screen in low resolution until I can get enhancer installed.

3. Any recommendations on hard drives? SSD? Any specific brands/models?

4. UBOOT... I know this has been updated a few times.. anywhere to go get the latest version?

5. Any other thoughts/recommendations?

Thanks!

Looking forward to the show! I wasn't sure I was going to be able to make it.. in fact, it was looking bad.. but I will now be there!

@nbache

Thanks! I am also replacing my hard drive.. old one is starting to make noise.. I am sure it will fail eventually... so just trying to figure out the best, and most efficient way to get all the latest, and correct drivers.

Thanks!

@kas1e

This is all fantastic information!

Quick question.. based on the guide, and the comments, I just want to make sure I have it all figured out... I am thinking about replacing my big R9 270X card with something smaller and a bit newer... So..

If I buy an RX 550, and do a completely clean install, should this work? (I have an X5000)

1. Install clean AmigaOS 4.1FE (X5000 version)
2. Install AmigaOS 4.1 FE Update 2.
3. Install Enhancer 2.2 (I already own this).
4. Install New NovaBridge (I would need to purchase this).
5. Install recommended libraries for older software (can't remember names, in the install guide...

Should that work? That should get me 100% current?

Thanks!

It posted my message twice.. so changing this one…

Thanks for posting!

These are great! I had such a great time. Hope to see you there again soon!

@sadirux

Thanks!

What I am wondering is if I can skip all the Enhancer upgrade installs, and just go right to 2.2.. so skipping the enhancer 1.5, 2.0,2.1 installs (I am guessing I will still need the graphics upgrade and the SI W3D install.. not sure..) but basically going something like:

OS 4.1 X5000 install
OS 4.1 Update 2 (I think I have a patched copy that doesn't need the hot fix).
Enhancer 2.2.

(Then maybe the other graphics updates....)

I just don't know if that would work....

@amigakit

I have Enhancer 2.0 installed, I believe I can download the upgrade. Is the upgrade download a full version?

Per similar comments, I would like to download the update, save it off, and do a clean install of my X5000. Will the version that downloads work for a clean install?

Thanks a ton! Great work!

-Eric

Looks great Walkero!

Thank you!

-Slygon

@Tuskagee

I just installed the update on a completely clean install of my X5000. And yes... Mounter is dead...

Did you figure out a solution/fix for this?

Thanks!
