@balaton
Qemu 9 version I use for Sam460 on Mac Mini M1 and u-boot from git qemu 28.10.2025, I will leave a video with the options I used for testing.
It works well

Thanks

So got my QEMU AmigaOs4 setup done pretty much, need to install A-EON stuff, but otherwise, got to OS4.1update 3 level with the fastest version of iBowser working.

Thank you for this app, it likely I wouldnt be able to figure this out without it .

Suggestions for the Manual

You done a pretty good job of the step by step progress of install, I did get stuck on one bit, page 75, it says
"To install software from the "Extras Installer" included in the OS ISO, first attach the ISO to the virtual system. For guidance on this, refer to the FAQ section."

Why do I have to go to the FAQ page, and lose my place in following the great, step by step guide, you can guess, I didnt make a note of what page I was up to when I had to find the guide in the FAQ, so please just duplicate the info in that section.

Also the guide was a bit vauge, it says

"Press CTRL+ALT+2 (Control+Option+2 on macOS) on your keyboard to open the monitor window. Type change cd <give here the path to your iso image> and press Enter."

but its not

change cd <C:/amigaos.iso>

its

change cd "c:/amigaos.iso"

for example if the amigaos iso was located on the c drive. this did catch me out, lucky I done a bit of coding and command lines, so thought it be quotation marks " and not arrow bracks <>

Also one other note, at Page 92 on doc, you should put a note about that you may get the APPDIR: device is missing error and this is fixed after the second AmigaOS update is applied. I know this is in the FAQ section, but if you following along again the step by step progress then the a user like me, might what to be reassure you not done anything wrong at that point.

Just some feedback. Great little app and great manual that so many devs overlook sometime

Fair point. I will do that.

Usually, the <> in guides mean that this whole section need to be changed. You shouldn't include those characters. I am sorry I didn't make it clear. I will update the manual.

Fair point as well. I will update the manual.

I appreciate your feedback, and I want to assure you that I will improve it based on it. And thank you for taking the time to read the manual. This has information that I believe it is useful for everyone who would like to emulate AmigaOS 4 using QEMU and not only for those who use Kyvos.

Thanks for taken the feedback onboard.

I do have quick question if you know anything about AHI setting and if QEMU setting confit with it.

I got audio out, I have it set as SB128: HiFi 16bit stereo++ and can hear the test beeps.

I installed both AmigaAmp and TuneNet, both complain about AHi.device not being update, so I downloaded and installed the latest version, but still come up with the same error.

I never had to play around with this on my X1000 it all just worked. cheers.

I having fun time resetting up my system on this QEMU, so far no Gurus, which I'm kinda amazed by so far, even on my X1000 i would of had one by now. Just this AHI issue.

Thanks again for the work on the app

Starting with the next release of AROS One 64Bit, the VMware “Native Video Driver” will also be available for QEmu. See screenshot link.

You can test VMware video drivers for Qemu in the Test-Demo Build available at this link:

@AmigaNG

I am so sorry I missed your message and didn't reply yet. But I will try now.
When you set the AHI configuration, set also the Music Unit 0. Some software uses that for music. Maybe that is the reason of failure.
On my system I use AmigaAmp and I know it works fine. I haven't tested tunenet to be honest.

@AMIGASYSTEM

These are great news. I am sure that this will improve the user experience considerably. Would it need any changes on how the qemu emulated system run?

On the Qemu side, you need to use the ‘-vga vmware’ option, while in the operating system you need to update ‘vmwaresvga.hidd’, path: SYS\Devs\Drivers.

@AMIGASYSTEM

I will try to add it in one of my future releases. Thank you for the info. Added in my todo list https://pms.walkero.gr/issues/63

Do we have any updates on the graphics driver yet? Christmas is around the corner.
