Nice news!
thanks to ACube!

@all
Tested also one of my RadeonHD's in : RadeonHD r7-250: (Card 0 (0): 0x1002, 0x682B, Radeon HD Verde (Mob.)) : this one works fine too. So both RX and HD cards fine (at least ones i test)

Apologies - I failed to clarify some of the goals.

Yes - I'm sure there are other solutions out there. But they're likely all copyrighted. I'm creating a public domain rival to them.

And this was only implied by my original. I mentioned C90-compliant programs that used the "D7 standard" as seen here:

https://sourceforge.net/p/pdos/gitcode ... tree/pdpclib/amistart.asm

That defacto, but not de jure, requires you to have the source code and to recompile with PDPCLIB.

I am not expecting or attempting to run existing software. I am attempting to bring C90-compliant software (I have a whole toolchain, editor etc that are C90-compliant) across to the Amiga in such a manner that it still runs on a lightweight clone (like a 100k ELF executable).

I can't see a reason for it to not work, but I haven't definitively proven that this new scenario works. It's not the same as running OS/2 programs where I just satisfy functions in a DLL. I need to provide some Amiga structures and functions with different ABI for (valid) Amiga programs to see. I already have Motorola syntax assembler stubs for calling Write(), for example, but I will need the reverse of that now.

@kerravon

This is what the JIT compiler and stubs do on AmigaOS4.1.

there is also a project called VAMOS that allows you run simple programs on Windows/Linux.

as your probably already know older stuff from 80’s requires chipset emulation, so VAMOS is limited to simple commands. Even stuff from 90’s need chipset emulation as well, late 90’s you get more system friendly programs, but fewer, with often bugs do lack of MMU on many 68K systems they were developed on. unless you have source code to 68K programs your not going to get anywhere sadly.

If you want to help out, ask around for source code, and start replacing Puala routines, with AHI Routines and fix the bugs in the software.

Welcome back & congrats on your new A1222

Hello.

I bought an Amiga 500 around 1988, and did some development on it using SAS/C.

I was expecting people to migrate from MSDOS to the Amiga, since it was the superior machine. That didn't happen. And I wanted to know why. After all, if everyone followed the C90 standard, everything should port.

So I have spent 3 decades working on PDOS/386 (see pdos.org) and then, inspired by the number 4 (ExecBase) on the Amiga, I created PDOS-generic - which is an extremely portable operating system written in C, just dependent on a suitable BIOS. And Linux (or any other operating system) are effectively a suitable BIOS. So is UEFI. And one day I will hopefully write a layer on top of the IBM PC BIOS to make it "suitable".

Anyway, this then led to me realizing that I could support executables from other OSes if they in turn were "suitable". Meaning that they call DLLs/shared libraries rather than doing interrupts/TRAPs. So I could support OS/2 for example.

The Amiga has a similar but different mechanism, and I want to prove that it is possible and see what it looks like.

So currently I am creating a "bios layer" for Linux 68000 that I can run using qemu-m68k which will then support running (perfectly valid) Amiga executables that follow the "D7 standard", and I will support two flavors - ones that access dos.library and ones that access a new msvcrt.library (inspired by Windows msvcrt.dll and mingw).

If anyone wants to get involved, please let me know. There is a linker, pdld, which has been updated to take Amiga Hunk object as input, and produce 68000 ELF as output, but it's still in development and qemu-m68k doesn't like the output currently (because it is LSB instead of MSB). Hopefully that will be resolved in a matter of hours (author is in Slovakia).

@jarokuczi
Can't remember about swizzle errors (i were sure Daniel fix it all before in ogles2, but maybe you need to try to contact with him about), but as Raziel said boolean uniforms is not supported, but as they _very_ easy to be workarounded, Hans (in case of shaders errors it's mostly warp3dnova area) just didn't find motivation to implement them : and implementation of them will take lots of time as he says, and better to just fix shader's code manually (that matter of changing few bits only, as on Raziel's example)

Okay then.. I'm sensing a lot of resistance.

You need to tell us a lot more in detail to help you,
I notice you have lots of distractions (Finex, Dir Opus, Enhancer different file systems (SFS)

I guess you are using a A1-G3, as a base...

The clues bring us to asking for what is setup in your KickLayout file? It should include FastFilesystem, CDfilesystem, NGFile System, and SmartFile System on a X5000

There's so much more!!!
Who's your dealer? Maybe they could help?
What did you do to make your system unstable?
Maybe you could make a video, so that we could see what's going on?

You never responded to the Epsilion question?

without your help/info.. I can't do anything but point blindly

Sorry

@K-LQuote:

I think Hans has said this is unlikely to change in the future, vendors don't really stick to a standard and implement their own ways of doing it.

RCA inputs on TV are becoming rare. We bought a new Sony OLED last year, and it doesn't have any RCA inputs. It has a weird little 3.5mm port, which carries both video and audio; I tried to connect our little Nintendo knockoff to it, but the lag made it unplayable.

Welcome back!

Very nice collection, especially the 2 A4000s. I always wanted one!

I have actually used an A2500 before; when I was at film school in the late 90s, we had one for subtitling in our studio.

@LioQuote:
Nice to hear OS4Reboot still being used.

I did have a quick try at compiling OS4Reboot on my A1222+, but it just threw up a lot of errors. I haven't had a chance yet to investigate why, but I suspect I don't have something set up properly. I'll wait until I've finished building my A1222+ system before looking at this.

Kind regards,

Francis
