Happy Easter
Brussels, March 31, 2013
Easter seems like an appropriate time to provide a short update on the development status of a few key components of the upcoming AmigaOS 4.2.
March 2013
.. and in 24 Bit
SDL can force a 32bit mode, so on a 24bit screen we do a:
SDL_SetVideoMode (current_width, current_height, 32, uiSDLVidModFlags);
And with this magic, PUAE also works in my 24-bit AROS/linux hosted environment :)!
PUAE .. in 16bit only ..
Debugging PUAE really sucked, as everything seemed to be working perfect, just the window stayed black..
A600: Fun AmigaSYS testing and some recent OS additions
Hey peepz,
After my latest video (thanks for the nice comments btw), I decided to try more stuff to my system.
First of all and just for FUN purposes I decided to convert AmigaSYS 4 AGA to ECS :P
I really think that AmigaSYS is a nice compilation which has it's follower although, I'm not of them.
Sorry folks, ClassicWB all teh way! So... WHO said that AmigaSYS can't run on ECS machines? :D
Islands in the streams
This just in!
Update: So, I thought my problems where with the error 209, ACTION_UNKNOWN seen below in a few logs. Not so. Tonight I just realized that I'm playing around with streams that don't support stuff like available() (natively using IDOS->GetFilePosition() and such), i.e. any streaming data with no real end, like STDIN. Like, duh... Anyhow. I've solved this by calling IDOS->IsInteractive() on the file handle prior calling any un-supported functions on it.
The Legend of Edgar on X1000
Today I wanted to take a look at an interesting game called The Legend of Edgar for AmigaOS4 on the X1000.
New Backgrounds for X1000
Today DJ Nick released some new HD Wallpaper backgrounds for AmigaOS4.
Given it has been a while since I have changed my workbench background, it was a good opportunity
to do so today!
I have included some workbench screen grabs using two of the new backgrounds on my X1000 (click to expand):
Sorting out my HardDisk
I have nearly cleared/sorted out my HardDisk, .
I have upload some games to http://www.portacall.org/ and not listed as i dont think not worth a word but just to clear my hd.
So how close are we?
So how close are we?
A600: Some minor overclock plus some new video
Hey guys, long time no see :)
I've been tinkering a lot my A600's environment all this time plus making some efforts for my GREX 4000 but that will come in a different article in the following weeks.
So... hardware-wise I ordered an full ceramic MC68030@50MHz CPU from Amibay having the latest mask in order to replace my ACA's plastic MC68030@33MHz.
Not a big deal but I had to try :)
I removed the old CPU, putted the new one and this is how it looked without the heatsink on.
PUAE GUI
Even the GUI opens up:
It is not really working either, but it at least sometimes is a real advantage, that gtk-mui exists :).
PUAE ..
I have had no motivation to debug the j-uae bsdsocket.library code any further, so I decided to do something else:
