the original blink linker by Software Distillery, was it ever open sourced? Seems odd that it wasn't.

The only open source linkers for Amiga I am aware of now are DICE dlink and Frank Wille's PhxLnk

How do you hook it up to your X5000?

SDL 3.4.0 is available: https://github.com/AmigaPorts/SDL/releases/tag/v3.4.0-amigaos4

Yes, SDL3 supports PNG format without extra libs now.

I got prboom plus that use software-mode only (or as default) while the port from hunoppc defaults to using opengl. Prboom plus is newer.

Thanks for all the great work and time you put down porting games to Amiga!
Donation coming up!

On a sidenote key F12 is not an Amiga thing!
I use an Amiga keyboard(F1-F10) on my X5000. ;)

Edit: Donation sent, long overdue.

Sorry, wrong post.

The Port of DOOM for the 3DO (BurgerDoom) for AmigaOS 4 and does not require OpenGL. Experts agree that this is the worst port of DOOM for consoles.
However, the music is awesome! You can tell that it's not MIDI. The video compares the PrBoom port for AOS4 with MIDI from a Roland MT-32.
The rest is probably what the experts wrote, but it's playable

Good thinking, thanks for testing! I checked, and I've got the same 53.3 version here.

And if I understand correctly, the xena resource doesn't really do much setup, but rather acts a semaphore. But... then again, I don't know -- myabe it really sets up some stuff?

To be honest, I think I will downgrade to a cheap HD7450 I found on Amazon, and will move the R7 250 to a new board (Mirari or so on).

xena.resource.kmod 53.2 does not work at all:

@jaokim

This is the output of XTool 1.7f on my X5000/20:



Could it be that xena.resource.kmod is the issue? The X5000 pre-release CD came with "xena.resource.kmod 53.2 (08.10.2015)". I currently have "xena.resource.kmod 53.3 (16.12.2016)". I think it was installed by an update. I will try the older xena.resource.kmod and see if that changes anything.

Sure, I would be happy to help where I can. Not all emulators work great or I haven't figured them out yet, but the OpenGL did help with some of them, and the Compositing got faster with the updated Radeon Card.

@everyone
A few minutes ago, I released a new version of Vault 1.2.0. Read more about it at
https://pms.walkero.gr/news/4 (amiga browser friendly page)
or

or
gemini://gem.walkero.gr/ko-fi/vault-1.2.0-released.gmi (gemini)

Changes included

### Added
- Added a search field at the top to search for applications among all the categories
- Added a new Highlighted section that promotes some applications. This is the default view when Vault starts
- Added a Preview window, showing a bigger application image when the user clicks on the small screenshot
- Added AutoInstall script for using it with AmiUpdate

### Changed
- Changed the left sidebar to have the categories in their own group
- Compiled with Hollywood v11

@yogi32

I have a lot of performance issues with emulators on SAM460LE, but I think I installed all the requered stuff. I will double check - eventually may ask you for some support?

@Petrol

If you plan to replace assist with more demanding assets, or you want better controller over input, or scaling or want to use 3d features.

A emulator is demanding, and the game might not run well on a slower computer like sam440, or on Amiga4000/CyberStormPPC or something old like that inside emulator.

I'd be delighted to have MK3 running natively on AmigaOS4. If such project starts, I'm more than happy to support it as well :)

@jaokim

Tested on X5000/40 with XenaStatus via the shell.



I repeated the test once and you can see it in the output, which then showed completely different values. I'm not sure if that's the way it should be.

Okay, here is my journey with this AmigaOne 500.

I had bought a Radeon Rx 550 card for my A1222+ which I have not assembled yet. And thanks to that great chart (thanks sailor for the tip), I see that is supports everything.

For fun, I put it in my AmigaOne 500 without updating the uboot. No output from uboot, but I read about this, however once I put the Radeon RX driver into kickstart, it booted into OS 4.1 no problem.

I did buy the Radeon HD V5 driver to have and the Warp 3d Nova Bridge as well and I do have Enhancer V2.2 installed. Anyways, I looked up how to probably install Warp 3D, minigl, opengl, etc and the post from kasel1 was invaluable. I had a lot of old Warp 3d stuff on here and I had to get rid of Warpz since I had a proper 3d card now.

After I did all that, it is amazing to see this old AmigaOne 500 play movies in high definition with no problem, gl screenblankers work beautifully, I have even tried some gl games and they work great. The best part, I love emulators, and they are running better with the help of opengl support and ScummVm looks great now!

This is one tough motherboard is all I can say (I have had it running non stop for over 13 years and still has the original uboot). I did order a new ROM chip with the latest uboot from Acube so I hear that will solve the RX Uboot problem. But to be honest, don't need output from Uboot once you have uboot setup.

I want to thank everyone that has done the great work on these drivers. Way to go guys! And of course A-Eon and Hans.

The only complaint is we as a community need to simplify this process a little. I can see how a new person to the AmigaOne seen would be a bit confused by all this.

Once again, thanks for the help everyone!

Yogi

Thanks for testing!

The uboot results seem promising. So I guess there must be something wrong with how it's done from AmigaOS.

I've created a new binary, 1.7f that uses ITimer->MicroDelay() instead of IDOS->Delay(), and I also added a small loop to test reads: https://jaokim.github.io/files/XTools-1.7f.lha
