Kyvos was updated

@white
Thank you so much for your message. I will make it more clear that virtio-gpu driver is available to beta testers only. Thank you again for bringing this up.

@white
I did an update to the manual updating the information for virtio-gpu to make the driver availability more clear for everyone.

I also added the following paragraph in the app description

Thank you again for bringing this topic to me.

@walkero

I can't test it myself, but have you already added “zoom-to-fit” Kyvos?

I usually start the Pegasos2/AmigaOneXe machine with this line.

-display cocoa,zoom-to-fit=on,zoom-interpolation=on,full-screen=on

“zoom-interpolation=on” smooths the screen without GL output.

“zoom-to-fit” enables scaling of the
display when full-screen mode is enabled.

This is particularly helpful on MacOS with the Cocoa display manager.

@walkero

Sorry for the tip.
And thanks again for the tool.
Of course, I just wanted to let you know because your software isn't commercial but donation-based.

After reading it, I also thought I'd find the "driver inside" Kyvos right from the first version.

@Maijestro
I haven't played with these at all. Thank you for sharing that information. I noted that in my to-do list. I will play with it and see how I could implement it. Does it make sense only when the full-screen is enabled or even in a window?

@white
No worries at all. Sometimes you have something clear in your mind, but it is not communicated correctly. I appreciate mentioning this.

"zoom-interpolation=on"

It makes sense for both full screen and window mode. I just tested it again.

Full screen:

-display cocoa,zoom-to-fit=on,zoom-interpolation=on,full-screen=on

Window:

-display cocoa,zoom-to-fit=on,zoom-interpolation=on,full-screen=off

This also allows you to resize the window as desired.


It's a kind of anti-aliasing for the entire screen output. If you play around with it, you'll notice it when the AmigaOS 4.1 boot logos appear; they look much smoother and less pixelated.

Did you also add “vmnet-bridged”?

Quote:

“VMnet bridges, or bridged networking, in VMware allows a virtual machine (VM) to connect directly to the physical network, obtaining an IP address from the network's DHCP server and appearing as a distinct device on the network, much like any other physical machine. This mode uses a software bridge to link the VM's network adapter to the host's physical network adapter, enabling direct network communication between the VM and other devices on the physical network.”

At least under MacOS, it is much more accurate and the RTL8139 works very well with it. The disadvantage is that the machine must be run as root.

As I said before, Kyvos doesn't work for me, unfortunately. I hope I'll have more time one day to test it better.

@walkero

It would be very helpful if I could implement VMWare in Kyvos.
This can be easily achieved using (Npcap) for Windows.

Here's the link:

https://npcap.com/#download

Once installed, you'll have the option to choose, for example, VMWare8 Virtual Network. This would be useful for using "QT Minimal" for AmigaOS via an external IP.

So "Firefox" and much more via SSH. Browservice in this case would be useless in Emulation because Firefox is much faster, and many other Linux programs Gedit FFPlay etc. can be used via the AmigaOS shell, natively inside AmigaOS with QT.

I'll leave you a screenshot if it helps.
I asked Toni why it works with WinUAE, but he said he doesn't know.
But in practice, it works.

If you need more information, let me know.

@white
That is interesting. My question is, have you done it with Qemu? Remember that Kyvos is just a frontend for qemu and all it does is to create the command and run it. If qemu supports something like that, then it would be useful if you can provide the necessary arguments.

@walkero

Unfortunately, I've never been able to do it with Qemu.
But it's not difficult, it's like enabling the "vfat" option.
You just need to figure out how to mount VMWare8 Network through Qemu.

But it would only work on Qemu for Windows without any special modifications.
Just find the right command line
To use VMWare8 Network.

NPCAP Prerequisite for Windows:

https://npcap.com/#download

And this program that enables this function is not WinUAE.

Once that's done, I think it can be ported to Linux later.
This would enable all Linux applications within QT Minimal for AmigaOS. Without using Linux, you're essentially using the proprietary
AmigaOS screen to launch any Linux application.

But it would be really worth it to imagine using Firefox directly inside AmigOS.

If I find time I will try to give it a go, but I do not promise anything.

@walkero

I understand

But this is how I use Firefox FFPlay Gedit etc. directly on AmigaOS.

Obviously, you need to connect to the Linux shell via SSH.

I use SSHTerm.

@walkero

To do this, you should work on this (see screenshot):



Possibly using Sysinternals Suite:

You should easily be able to trace the root of the device.
