I was hoping to get a list of apps that work so I can explore and discover or re-discover new things :)

Hi All,

With the release of NovaBridge this week I thought it might be nice to start a thread on app compatibility. My goal is to have a thread where people can post things that work or are not working with the new library.

It would also be helpful to have some notes like OS version, machine type, and video card.

I'll start!


=================
Teeworlds
X5000, OS 4.1 FE Update 2 + beta
Enhancer 2.2
RX580

Status: Runs without issue
================

Who else to jump in?

Personally, I have 4 monitors on my desk. One for my work laptop, one for my main Windows box, one for my X5K, one on dual switches for VGA and HDMI. I tend to share the keyboard and mouse on the PC via Synergy to all the systems. I just move my mouse from screen to screen.

The Amiga synergy client I use comes from UHC tools. They provide an OS 3 and OS 4 binary. It's not 100%, some issues with clipboard and screen blanking, but does work very well and is transparent 95% of the time.

NovaBridge is available now on AMIStore.

Indeed! We setup the blue "pipe and drape" this year to break up the space and give the show a more professional look. I think it worked. It also ment you can't see all the people who were there in one shot.

For my estimate, over 100 is right. We had our largest banquet in at least 5 years, maybe 10 with 8 full tables.

The engery level was also very high with lots of great converstations happening all over the place.

Planning for 2023 will start soon. Expect updates around March :)

@all

I have posted a bunch of updates to the Amiwest website. Check it out!

@ALL

I've been communicating with Trevor about Amiwest, and he is working hard to make it happen. With the state of the world, it's not as easy as in years past, but I'm confident he will make it!

I think it's fair to say that for all the exhibitors, speakers, and attendees.

Lovely themes! Going to try them soon. One question, I see an updated AmiFTP for OS 4 in a screen shot. Was that ever released?

@jPV

Thank you for sharing your experience. I created a thread on OS4 coding to see if someone could take on codesets library. I've looked at the source code, and we just need a debug build to pinpoint the input causing the problem.

The fun part about this situation is it only happens on X5000s. Other OS4 platforms don't have this crash!

Thanks,

Hello All,

I updated my Ubuntu system to 20.04 LTS which comes with Samba 4.13. I went to back up my system, which I do over smbfs, and it failed to mount. After some debugging I found that samba 4.11 turned off smb1.

I updated my smb.conf with the follow and it worked:

[global]
...
server min protocol = NT1

Now it works!

@AmigaOldskooler

Great idea! I've done the Lemon game comps a few times and enjoyed it. Would love to see an OS 4 one.

Keep us posted.

Hey Walkero,

Can you take a look at a local Plex server? Right now we don't get the login page at all. We've talked about supporting it with other tools but if we can get it in browser, which will be great.

@MamePPCA1

Which video card are using on your X5000? That seams like the best place to start.

@cygnusEd

Thanks for that! Can't wait to give it a go.

@all

Pidgin was working with Discord last year but recently it would join the channels but not show and posts. I use AmIRC on my Amiga for IRC and Discord webapp for that.

Anyone have better luck with Pidgin?
