After implementing some more functions and some debugging, I am now able to boot from a virtual filesystem. All AmigaOS files are stored in a linux-native filesystem and mounted inside uae for AmigaOS to use:

So I purchased a mini-box picoPSU-120 kit which is in essence a very very small power supply that provides multiple regulated voltages. I want to power my Commodore Amiga 500 with the tiny power supply but there’s potentially a big problem with using it out of the box: the -12v rail seems to be out of spec. It’s not being properly regulated to -12v.

For several weeks now me and my wife have been busy redecorating our apartment in order to maximize our living space. It took a good while, but we are finally reaching the end. So I bought myself a new computer work space and chair. It’s much roomier than before:

Still no contents, but at least no hang anymore..

For the past few few years the Obligement web site have been running their annual Amiga Games Award, which aims to chart the most popular games released in the previous 12 months for either Amiga OS 68K, Amiga OS4.x, Morph OS or AROS platforms.

Each of the four charts are kept separate, meaning that there's no overall winner across all formats, and as this blog concentrates its coverage on the classic Amiga platform I'm only interested in the Amiga OS 68K chart.

Recently I was looking around at various image viewers for AmigaOS 4.1 on os4depot when I noticed the release of HottiesView and thought I would give it a go on the X1000.

Hello again,

This will be a super quick post.. I was following discussions on Amigaworld.net right after posting the news about the bankruptcy and Hyperion just made a statement in that thread:

Dear readers,Hyperion Entertainment, the company behind the AmigaOS 4 operating system, has been declared bankrupt. This is sad, unexpected news.

It appears that Hyperion Entertainment CVBA, the company responsible for the development of AmigaOS 4.0, 4.1 and the upcoming AmigaOS4.2 has been declared insolvent on January 27th, 2015.

Filesystems in uae are very dependent on interprocess-communication. While I really thought, I got this covered and right, somehow all those semaphores always got jammed somehow, resulting in a hang, as soon as the first AmigaOS filesystem packet reached the emulation code. AROS semaphores are just different than Windows Events, which have quite some more possibilities. So I had a look at fs-uae (isn't open source nice?) and found out, that obviously they had to struggle, too, as they provide glib, pthreads and sdl semaphore based uae implementations.
