Vote/suggestions for the software and game reimplementations

We have FXscan but no driver for the connection with the AmigaOS4 USB stack.

Hello,

software:
- Rebol V2/V3,
- Blender MESA, VLC MESA, gfxbench2D +3D MESA, Gimp, Audacity
- LibreOffice, NitroPDF, TurboPrint
- Mumble, Rustdesk Remote Desktop Client/Server, Linphone VOID, Discord

- an Killer App that works better and exists only on AmigaOS4 platform
like NewTek Video toaster / LightWave 3D that revolutionized the industry in its day
or like Using natively Ram as Harddrive from the Amiga beginning. :)

games:
- Myst HD,
- Riven (Myst suite) HD,
- Amicraft MESA,
- GTA Like,
- CounterStrike,

Best Regards,

Of course a lot like multi-session support, CDDA, etc., but what additional features would you need?

I would love to see a native version of TwinVNC.
The version I’m currently using on OS4.1 dates back to 2007...
The file transfer feature is still missing, and the speed over the home network could also be improved.
I can control my PC from the X5000, but it would be great if everything ran a bit faster ;)

- An updated version of E-UAE based/merged on latest WinUAE 6.x source code
- LibreOffice port
- Some more love to Java --> https://github.com/derfsss/java-os4
- Some more love to Qt6
- A port of Cerberus X (a programming language based on monkeyX)

@kas1e

I don't know if this is beyond the scope of what you were looking for, but OS4 should really have a system-wide implementation of UTF-8 encoding for text.

@joerg

Once Afxgroup releases his new kernel would you work on a Mac Mini flavour? I think many users still dream about "Moana".

The libraries you list are already opensource (AROS or MorphOS), and on 68k AROS can use p96 drivers directly so even if It's not optimal It could allow doing some tests.

It certainly could help to sell more AmigaOS4 copies (even if those copies are for Sam460, Peg2 or something like that and the user has to run some script to modify the ISO and add the new drivers). I guess that people would contribute to a bounty or patreon too.

@joerg

Pratically rewrite from scratch the entire OS )

@joerg

Does it need/use CDFileSystem resource?
'cos with new beta CDFS doesn't worlk
What "features" needs CDFS?
TiA

EDIT1:tested with ODFileSystem (https://github.com/reinauer/ODFileSystem) and AmiDVD doesn't work either.

Hi,

- CD/DVD software for burning and creating .iso images
- Libre Office
- VLC media player
- flight simulators :) That’s what I’m missing – for example, Strike Commander, Apache Longbow (1995), F-22 Lightning 3.

Thanks

Quote:I can't work on anything kernel, or OS4 in general, related because of the NDA I singed and since I had access to the complete OS4 sources.
Moana was never in the OS4 sources BTW, that was something done by a single OS4 developer, without permissions from anyone involved.
OTOH since Hyperion still sells (software based on) pirate copies of my software, both in AmigaOS 4.1 FE/PPC and any updates of it, as well as in AmigaOS 3.1.x/3.2 m68k, I might ignore that some day as well, just like Hyperion ignores any contracts and licences ...

@jabirulo
Quote:I don't know what CDFileSystem resource is. It didn't exists in my AmigaOS 4.x port of CDFileSystem, which can't be used by Hyperion any more.
Quote:Maybe it's a backport of the AmigaOS 3.2/m68k CDFileSystem (unlike the 3.1.x one not based on Costel's illegally distributed copies of my sources)? I don't know anything about that.
AmiDVD doesn't use nor need anything from any CDFileSystem, it's completely independent code and should work with any AmigaOS ISO9660 FileSystem, not only the CDTV/CD³² based CDFileSystem used in AmigaOS 3.1/4.0 but the CacheCDFS used in AmigaOS 3.5/3.9, and any other one like AmiCDFS, AmiCDROM, etc., as well.
The versions of AmiDVD included in Hyperion's AmigaOS 4.1 FE and update releases without permission intentionally doesn't work, you need the AmiDVD version from Enhancer Software instead.

Or use something completely different instead, AFAIK FryingPan is open source now.

@kas1e

Alle Adobe products maybe.. LOL

software is worthless.

@DanN

Yeah man! Flight simulators!

The hours I spent on Interceptor, Falcon and others...
I have forgot how much I miss a flight simulator, it was so much fun!

BRING IT BACK !!!

@joerg

For "resource" I mean CDFilesystem kicklayout/handler.

Usikng AmiDVD 1.54 ( 9-10-2023) licenced to A-EON Technology Ltd

With ODFileSystem from os4depot/github and in BURN IMAGE I get an empty "Drive" chooser, so don't know how you get/fill that list, but with ODFilesystem (works fine under OS4, can read many CD/DVD formats) it doesn't show any "CDx: blah blah" entry on "Drive" chooser.

@jabirulo
Quote:I never used ODFileSystemm, but AmiDVD may depend on the CD/DVD/BlueRay file system using DOSType "CD01" (shortcut for "CD001", which is the official ISO 9660 FS identifier, but AmigaOS DOSTypes are limited to 32 bits, 4 chars).
All AmigaOS CDFileSystems I know of, the commodore CDTV/CD³² based ones, as well as any 3rd party ones like CacheCDFS (incl. the AmigaOS 3.9 version), AmiCDROM, AmiCDFS, AsimCDFS, BabelCDFS, etc., are IIRC all using the same DOSType "CD01".

If it's not related to that:
Which PATA/SATA/SCSI/etc. device driver are you using? An incompletely implemented one could cause problems as well.
I only tested, or had beta testers testing it for me, AmiDVD with sg2's PATA/SATA/SCSI drivers (a1ide.device, peg2ide.device, sii0680ide.device, sii3112ide.device, sii3114ide.device, sii3512ide.device, lsi53c8xx.device, etc.) and Ignatio's NetBSD based SCSI driver (cbyppc.device).

@joerg

I'm using (new) sii3132sata.device from Acube (https://www.acube-systems.biz/download ... =sii3132sata_dev_v1.2.lha) when using with CDFS v53.11 I get in BURN IMAGE "CD0: HL-DF-ST DVDRAM...." in Drive chooser and can burn CD/DVD.

But when using ODFileSystem (or beta CDFS v55) in Drive chooser I have a blank entry and can't burn CD/DVD.

So seems AmiDVD uses CDFS for something.

Does AmiDVD has some debug option?

I would love one or both of these on my X5000:

Yes, @khayoz, I agree – BRING IT BACK!!!
There are so many good flight simulators that would be a welcome addition to our PPC machines :D
