2.5 drives are quite expensive.

Sounds like your having fun with that which is better than sitting in the box in my garage.

@Bean

Great news! I'm looking forward to the next release.

Yes it is.
The drive was about 180 - 200 MB, so pretty useless.
It currently has:

4GB 2.5" IDE
64MB RAM
Blizzard 1230/50MHZ
Quad Speed CD-ROM Amiga Q-Drive

and is connected to a TFT monitor.

I want to try a new HDD inside the machine to run OS3.0 exclusively, see if I can get this damn game working. Severely puzzled by it.

Rude!

I made a post in the new Amiga Games forum that never showed up on the front page.

@Chris

How come you edited my post and not created one of your own?

Would that be the machine you picked up at 3cag ?


How is that machine runnning ? I thought it had a hard drive in it ?

Ah... might be a tiny one.

@JC

The 2.5" sounds ok, although I always struggle with knowing what to do with the old 4GB partition limit?

I don't want to hack this A1200 so I'm ruling out the 3.5" ones - how much do you want for the 2.5" drive?

@Chris

Is it a 2.5" drive and were you serious or was that a top trump joke only? How much?

@thread

Thanks for your feedback and offers - I'm after 2.5" drives only, I guess its better if they are in the Uk as shipping will be minimal (unless I get it from Elbox )

Rude!

Great! Can't wait to see it!

That reminds me of this long thread about some white stuff...

Well just last night I managed to get TGE to render the 3D world by fixing some issues in MiniGL. But there are still some bugs to fix, as I get alignment exceptions.

There is still no audio. TGE uses OpenAL with EAX extensions, but the current Amiga OpenAL does ofcourse not have EAX extension, so currently I cannot compile with audio enabled.

In the engine some platform specific stuff is still missing, like font handling. TGE caches fonts, so for now I am just using the cached fonts created on a Windows machine.

Tonight I will post a photo of the "buggy" 3d world rendering.

I'll shovel em up and offer them for food on "Celebrity, get me outta here"

Ok. (Me trundles off to the Bunny)

hehe

Well, we have the Italians and Troika onboard,
so that should do for the moment i think.

Hi everybody,

Just playing around with Vice the other day and as it's not complete yet (missing dialogues) I was thinking of having a quick hack at the missing features myself. This got me to wondering....

Should we (I) be compiling anything for AmigaOS 3.x as well as AmigaOS 4.0? Surely we want more people to adopt the 'new standard' but there are still a number of users out there who can't afford or get AOS 4 capable machines.... For that matter, should I be compiling for WarpOS too?

Note that doesn't refer to Vice itself as the authors are doing a grand job on that anyway, I'm thinking more about other programs.

As a (related) side-note - I've found a tutorial on UtilitityBase.com which tells me how to install a cross-compiler for AmigaOS 4 under a un*x system (i.e. MacOS X and/or Cygwin, Linux et al) - what should I do to be able to cross-compile for AmigaOS 3.x (m68k and preferably WarpOS as well as I like speed. :) ) - anyone got any handy pointers?

Thanks all. :)

that wont happen, as there is no such thing as 'new amiga hardware'

if you were refering to the companies that are making hardware that could possibly run OS4, then thats a different matter.

Sounds great! Looking forward to being here!

I really support some sort of amigans.net bounty for selected projects. I am not as good at donating as I should be and perhaps this could bring in some extra funds for our gifted developers.

I don't know how it should work, but we could have one big pool of money that would be distributed to the developers... perhaps after a significent version release?

You could even sign up for a standard amount each month. 5, 10, 15 euros... So that we would know how much money to expect. It would quickly make a rather big bounty.

Well, just a suggestion. And it could well be that I am the only one who can't get around to donate the usual way.

Ferry's proposal would also work very well.

I have done 3 mails to:
