That was to be expected @smarkusg has already ported some emulators via clib4 and it was simply faster. I also use a ScummVM-Clib4 version from @afxgroup and the result is the same, it seems to be a bit more stable than with newlib.

Thanks for starting this thread, there should be some clarity here and it could be of great value to developers and testers.
Some claim that it is not possible for Heretic2 to work on the A1222 neither in software rendering nor with Warp3d/gles. So let's just find out together.

I haven't tested Midi on the A1222 myself and I'm not sure if it works.
For me, gaming with the A1222 is not a top priority and I didn't buy this machine for that, of course I also play smaller games in between to pass the boredom, most SDL1/SDL2 games work very well.
The x5000 is a very good and fast machine, but as you have already recognized, this system is very expensive to run Doom3 with not even 30FPS, it just doesn't make sense. Of course it should be a bit faster than other machines, so if you want the non plus ultra you should go for the x5000.
As some have already reported, the Sam460 is good, but uses really very old hardware components (DDR2) and there are also some hardware problems. The x1000 is unfortunately no longer available and would have been the perfect solution for them.
So I opted for the A1222 which is relatively small (ITX) and doesn't take up too much space, plus the system is very quiet, similar to my MacStudio. The Tabor is best suited for the old daily things with AmigaOs4.1. As already mentioned, most of the stuff works well up to se, but there are also the first optimized applications that use the SPE (Signal Processing Engine) directly and I find it really impressive how things can run optimized.
If you decide on the A1222 you can find some example videos on my YouTube channel, here I only show the use of this system including SPE optimized software/games.
The developer of GoldenCode “Daytona675x” has currently made available all his developments that have been SPE optimized. Tower57/VoxelBird/VoxelNoid/Battle Squadron/Atomic Bomberman. I have already tried the SPE optimized versions and compared them with the standard versions. It runs very well...
For more information and downloads please visit...
Is SDL2 already SPE optimized or do they only focus on the normal versions?
Steffen Häuser has started first attempts to adapt Heretic2 for the A1222, but wrote me that he cannot translate it without an SPE compatible version of SDL2 and has stopped further attempts for now.
Ok, that will have been the problem. If you continue to have various crashes, please try using only the front USB ports.
I also had problems with the right rear USB port that the TCP/IP stack/etnernet driver and other things crashed often.
I have never seen anything like this with my system. I wonder if there's an actual issue introduced with the production board. Has anyone with the original Tabor beta boards experienced this?
Believe me, the error is there and I have already reported it or someone has done it for me. You can read all about it here.
Most bugs will only show up when people use this hardware with different configurations. It's the same with software bugs. I'm also not sure how many beta tests there were for the A1222, but I don't think there were many.

That's pretty cool and I'm going to try it out. It's a bit off topic but which GamePad should you use on AmigaOs4.1 ?
I'm currently using a PlayStation 3 controller wirelessly with the help of Magic SN 2. The gamepad controller does not work with all games that offer gamepad or joystick support.

I also had problems with the right rear USB port that the TCP/IP stack/etnernet driver and other things crashed often.
Hmm...I'm confused by this? The rear USB ports on the A1222+ are not side by side, they are stacked one on top of the other. I have my wireless keybaord plugged into the bottom rear USB port and have had no issues. I've also used the top rear USB port without issues. Are you refering to the LAN ports?
In my case, the rear USB ports are next to each other. hmmm....you can see it in the photo.
I suspect there is confusion because they use a different tower. And not the most complete one as provided by A-EON

My configuration is now as follows:
On the two front USB ports I have my wireless adapter for mouse and keyboard and on the rear left USB port I have a USB HUB with other devices connected and that works fine so far.

I must open apps in a certain order to avoid the Grim Reaper such as: never launch AMIStore as the first app after boot, never launch an .AVI file as first file after boot, Tower57 no audio, Doom3 not working anymore, TuneNet is crashing quite often, etc...
I have just tested this on my hardware AmiStore can be started as the first app without any problems. TuneNet works very well and stable as well as streaming and playing with .mp3.
If you bought Tower57 you have to replace the exe with this one:
And the weird part is that if I follow "the rules", the system can stay stable for hours. I know that we're in an experimental field, but it's clear to me that other owners are usually not experiencing my same issues. I tried many video cards, a few ram modules, and I managed to fix here and there, but without the amazing alternative SPE drivers I couldn't really make the 3d side working, which shouldn't be mandatory.
Basically, 3D acceleration works, but usually a MiniGL/Gles application can only be run once without problems. When running it again, the whole system often freezes. I suspect that MiniGL/Gles on the A1222 is simply faulty. It could also be a driver problem, but I'm not sure about that.
Maybe you could provide some bug reports so we can see what crashes and why it crashes?
On another note, what USB ports are you using on your A1222?
Something else about my system I use a RX570 (8GB) ITX and Samsung 8GB PC3L-12800S DDR3 1600 MHz 1.35 V SODIMM memory and it works fine.

Thanks buddy, that really works perfectly, I'll make a video about it later Configured with Odyssey. I will also do it with iBrowse for next time.
I have adopted your settings for "vqw.pyc" and with Twitch it works really well and the streaming resolution is ok. However with YT the streaming resolution is a bit too low and in full screen it's a bit blurry.
Is it possible to increase the streaming resolution here too?
As a streaming player I use Emotion it works really well and I have the possibility to watch Twitch and YouTube on my real hardware again.

About RNOTunes, I have tested it on my A1222 and yes this player uses very few resources, but I have massive sound problems with this player.
I could be totally wrong on this, but I believe that RNOTunes uses the Hollywood plugin "avcodec.hwp" to play mp3 files. Are you using the latest version 1.5? I probably exists in the RNOTunes directory, so make sure you check that version or just replace it.
I have no such sound issue when playing mp3's on my A1222+ using RNOTunes.
Version 1.5 is already included in the RNOTunes archive as the Hollywood plugin "avcodec.hwp". Also with AmigaAmp3 and DAPlayer there are no problems...it is a big mystery to me what can cause this malfunction...hmmmm
But for me this is not a problem at the moment, as I currently prefer to use TuneNet as a player. Start TuneNet minimized without dock function and you get about 6-7% CPU. You can continue working with the system and enjoy music

I don't think that AHI settings would do this, because the other program works fine with the same settings and it should stutter all the time then. In any case RNOTunes uses AHI Unit 0 for its output on OS4, and I think that's the default setting for TuneNet too. If you want to try something, 44100 Hz would be generally better with audio files than 48000 Hz...
I have tested a little further. 44100 Hz is not supported by the A1222 audio driver, only 32000/48000 and 96000 Hz. I played a bit with the Unit 0 settings in both 16 and 32 bit mode, but nothing helped. I have set the channels to 4. Strange that there are no problems with TuneNet.

Could you copy some audio files to Ram Disk and try to play from there? If the HD couldn't feed data quick enough for some reason, be it some caching issue or something else.
And does it happen with other formats? Flac, wav, mod, etc?
With mod audio files there have been no problems with playback, currently only mp3 files seem to be affected, but I need to test this further. And yes, executing from the RamDisk did not solve the sound problem with with mp3 files.
When playing videos or playing SDL games I have no problems everything seems to be fine.....strange

Will do, I do have a Netgear Ethernet to Wifi bridge lying about.
I will try that soon.
In regards to the loud ticking sound.
I did chatted to AAA team earlier on the day.
Its was initially fan 2 on the GPU was causing the noise.
But then I realize I had the unit upside down.
The loud ticking noise stopped.
Whoops
First of all, congratulations on your new A1222. And you can read it above, I also turned the A1222 upside down when I unpacked it
I'm not sure why I did that, but it's good to know that I'm not the only one it happened to
I've had my A1222 for about 3 weeks now and I've already tried a few things, you can ask your questions here and I think there are already some Tabor users who can share their experiences with you.
MacStudio ARM M1 Max Qemu//Pegasos2 AmigaOs4.1 FE / AmigaOne A1222plus AmigaOs4.1 FE
First of all thank you for your new blog entry, I have read it and I like it very much
About RNOTunes, I have tested it on my A1222 and yes this player uses very few resources, but I have massive sound problems with this player. With TuneNet everything is fine.
@all
I'm leaving a video so you can see and hear it for yourself, and maybe someone else is having the exact same issues. You can also find my AHI Prefs settings in the video, maybe something is wrong here too.
This broken sound output is available in 16 and 32 bit AHI settings and I don't know what the problem is.

This request dates from 2023 and still nothing yet.
Would it not be possible to put this version here to download it?
I think this will not be possible because it is linked to EnhancerSoftware, but you can make sure that this new working version is available for all buyers via Enhancer Update. And I hope they will too...

AmiDVD 1.53 (12.3.2022), file size 141544 bytes, working.
It's probably because of the same version numbers and partially dates that the older, not working yet version is still the one used for Enhancer Software
What a mess
Ok of course that explains why AmiDVD can't work. Maybe you have the possibility to fix it, I would like to use your AmiDVD as a backup tool under my A1222.
Mistakes happen we are all human and not machines. Sometimes it is really an advantage that I try out many things under AmigaOs4.1 where I then notice something like this.
MacStudio ARM M1 Max Qemu//Pegasos2 AmigaOs4.1 FE / AmigaOne A1222plus AmigaOs4.1 FE
But on the A1222 AmiDVD doesn't work anymore, I guess it has to do with NGFS, this file system is not supported by AmiDVD?
The file system should make no difference. I don't remember if there was a A1222 beta tester as well, but on the X1000 and X5000 AmiDVD should work starting with version 1.53 or 1.54 of the enhancer software versions of AmiDVD, even with beta kernels, since about 2 years again. Maybe it's still not released publicly through enhancer updates?
Of course the AmiDVD versions illegally distributed by Hyperion on the AmigaOS 4.1 FE or newer CDs are supposed to fail. Hyperion has no licence for it.
Enhancer software was also supplied with the A1222, AmiDVD is in Utilities in the Enhancer package, but when I want to start AmiDVD nothing happens, there is not even an error message.
It is version 1.53 that I have checked, and I cannot get a newer version via updates. It seems that AmiDVD is still beta and has not yet been adapted for the A1222.
It's a pity that I can't use it anymore, you provide a really great tool with AmiDVD
