I went and got the new Quake 2. It's just under 14 USD. This is so cool.

Thank you for all your hard work.

No, Mini gl still won't work with the 5450. The 5450 was primarily used to get my system up and running, since AmigaOS 4.1 doesn't support Radeon RX 550 out of the box.
In fact, it barely supports the 5450. I had to purchase Aeon's Enhancer software to get the Radeon HD drivers necessary to get compositing and 1080p resolution out of the 5450.

In order to get mini gl, I had to purchase a Radeon Rx 550, utilize the drivers included in Enhancer, and purchase Nova Bridge.

Apparently I'm not the only one thinking this. 12 hours for a 330 mb download - Oops 8 hours - no - 13 hours - no - 7 hours - no - 12 hours again . . .

I guess now would be a good time to download the SDK if I ever want to try my hand at Amiga 4.1 programming.

I just got the SAM460LE in March. My initial setup was as follows:

Godshark PCI Sata card w/SIL3114 chipset - PCI slot
Creative Audigy FX 1570 - PCIe 1x slot
VisionTek Radeon 5450 - PCIe 16x-ish slot
Mini Tower Case
DVD Writer

I got all of those products on Amazon. I have since replaced the 5450 with a Sapphire Technology AMD Radeon RX 550, which I bought locally in SoCal.

As for the driver for the 1570: I'm not sure if I'm going to get anyone in trouble but the HDAudio drivers were on the SD OS installation card I got with the board. They were in WorkSD:Bonus drawer.
They aren't otherwise available publicly.

Hopefully this helps.

Well okay. I went with the more expensive option and bought the bluetooth version of the SN30 Pro. After some fiddling and getting on my hands and knees before my almighty Amiga,
I finally got it to work.

I went with the pricier option because a) I'm impatient, and b) muscle memory. I'm relatively familiar with the usb version of the SN30 Pro, so I can adjust to it accordingly.

Anyway, thank you guys for the guidance and suggestions.

Bummer.

Well I tried the holding start and Y and turning on the Amiga and holding them until Workbench is fully loaded, but it didn't work.

I since read somewhere that the usb version of the SN30 Pro doesn't switch modes. Other people talked about having to update X-box drivers to use it on Retroarch and such.
Both Amiberry and Winuae recognize it as Xbox controller, and I guess map it so games can use it.

So I have 2 options, buy the Retroflag on Amazon and spend about 17 bucks, or make a trip out to Micro Center and spend 45 bucks on the bluetooth version that can be switched.

Anyway, thank you all for the suggestions. I really appreciate it.

Thank you all for the suggestions.

The SN30 Pro I have is wired usb. I can't figure out how to put it in direct input mode. All the directions say to hold start 7-8 seconds to turn it off, then press start and B or Y to turn it back on in direct input mode.
I press start for over 7-8 seconds and I still see a green led on the back. Am I missing something?

The manual didn't say anything about pushing or holding any buttons. It's just plug and play on my PC and Raspberry Pi.

I'll look into the Retroflag option. I saw this on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Retroflag-Class ... ller-Switch/dp/B07JPQY66K I hope it's close enough.

So, does anyone know what usb game controllers are compatible with AmigaOS 4.1? I have an 8BitDo that isn't being recognized. It's supposed to be X-box compatible.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Awesome. I was trying to get the Quake2 from OS4Depot to work. I could play the first level and then it would shut down the server with some writeedict error and kick me into the console.
I could exit out but that was it. That same error would happen if I tried to save the game too.

So yeah I'm looking forward to this upcoming port.

I have the Creative Audigy FX. It was the only PCIe sound card I could find for sale. It was on Amazon for about 40 dollars or so. The HDA drivers were on the SD card that came with the SAM460LE board. I'm really happy with it.

This is going to be a bit long. My Amiga journey began way back in the early 90s, when I got an Amiga 2000. I wanted a 3000, but couldn't really afford it. Eventually I got a DCTV, and I hooked up the whole shebang to my TV set. I also saved up for an '030 accelerator board, included a scsi controller. A couple of years later I got a 4000. By that time, though, Commodore was having a lot of issues. I wasn't sure how much longer they'd be in business. I started investing more in PCs. Eventually when I moved in with my then girlfriend, I sold the Amigas .

It was only late last year that I began playing with Winuae and Amiberry. I got hooked. I saw a tutorial on how to setup Winuae for Amiga 4.1, and plunked down the 35 or so dollars to download it. Somewhere along the way I found out about the SAM460LE and the (then) upcoming A1222+. I went with the SAM mostly because of the FPU. I just remember the difference it made when I had my 2000 and got the accelerator board. I'm sure I'll look into A1222 again sometime.

Hopefully, this post wasn't too boring.

@AmigaOldskooler
I got the board w/2 gigs of ram, and the following parts I got locally or from Amazon:
Godshark PCI Sata card w/SIL3114 chipset
Creative Audigy FX
Sapphire Technology AMD Radeon RX 550
Mini Tower Case
DVD Writer
It's a nice little setup. I'm pretty happy with it. How about you?

Hi Kevin from California! I live about 50 miles south of LA, in Orange County. So, on the opposite end.

It's nice to meet you.

Thanks everybody! Yeah I'm pleasantly surprised at how capable this machine is. I'm able to use my wireless mouse and keyboard, which makes it easier to swap with my winblows machine. With a little extra money thrown in for drivers and 3D libraries I've been able to get Blender3D and some games up and running too. Up until now I've been playing with Winaue and Amiberry, which are cool, but I like having the actual hardware to play with.

Okay. Thank you. Yeah the / and the space before the fr threw me off a bit. Thank you for the info. I'll contact him.

Hello. I was wondering how to become a member of OS4Depot, or even if it's necessary. I would like to request a feature of one of the drivers listed on the site, namely the wacom usb driver.
I'm not sure now to contact the author or submitter of the driver, and it appears that I need to be a member of OS4Depot in order to post a comment there.

Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello from California.

I just purchased a SAM460LE board, built a nice AOS 4.1 rig around it, and now I'm exploring. I have questions, of course, but I need to figure out where I can post them.

Anyway, I'm Kevin from California and it's nice to meet you all.
