You can switch the icon set without installing the icons.

Mount the ISO image and go to drawer "Packages/Icons/Icons/Infinite Icons". There you can see the drawers of the available icon sets. Open the icon set drawer I'd like to use, for example drawer "Ancient Copper". There you can see the available "Use" icons. Double click the one you'd like to use and the icons will be switched.

I appreciate the work involved in InfiniteIcons. I have bought it. But the amount of space it requires is not acceptable. There needs to be further options in the installer or, at the least, some text in the ReadMe that states the amount of space required.

A lot of people have a fairly small system partition. Going forward, for anyone wanting to use InfiniteIcons, they will need to create a system partition of somewhere near 4/5GB, at least.

There should be more options to deselect some of the default installations. It seems like it is just installing absolutely every combination and this means that there is a lot of wasted space. If, instead, the installer asked the user what general theme of icon they wanted, then masses of space could go un-wasted.

As with any installation in the Amiga world, it is not really possible to uninstall everything that has been installed after finding out that the system partition is full.

Thankfully, I am in the process of messing around with a new system installation so this is not too much of an issue for me.

I will now have to consult the installation scripts to find out what I need to remove. Not ideal but no big loss.

I guess an alternative is to install it all to the non-system partition and then pick and choose what you want; again, this should be handled by the initial installer.

Of course, another alternative is that users are expected to have large system partitions but for a lot of Amigans this goes against the grain.

===

Recommendations:
- State how much space is required in the ReadMe
- Allow selections for the user during installation in order to reduce installation space on the system partition; again, I have not looked into this but if the installer installs the the black icons, the blue icons, the yellow icons, the red icons... then create a selection box
- Create an option to uninstall the installed files in the installer

===

Even when installing to a different partition, the installer installs things to the system partition. Backdrops are installed into the system partition, whether you like it or not. The backdrops take a lot of space.

===

Again, thank you for the work. Hopefully we can improve the installer going forward. The icons are wonderful!

@kikems

Odyssey3 came with AV#? and SW#? libs.
Did you move those to LIBS: or did you keep them in odyssey3's PROGDIR:LIBS?
The later is prefered, 'cos Emotion does use such libs too and maybe they have something different with odyssey's ones (clib4 "aware" or whatever) .

What version of SFS are you using?

I installed Update 3 on my X5000 about 2 weeks ago. I didn't have alot of time to rigorously test it, but it seem fine.

Yesterday morning I booted as normal, did some work, and powered down. I powered back up in the afternoon and it would not boot, getting stuck on the splash screen.

I would have this problem from time to time and would just do a reboot and it would normally be fine, but that didn't work and it would consistently lock on the splash screen with the drive access light lit.

I was able to boot into my backup partition which is still on Update 1.

This morning I had the same problem. On a hunch I tried disconnecting my USB devices on boot,and eventually found that it didn't like my WASD keyboard. If its unplugged at boot, Update 3 boots fine.

It's very strange that it just started yesterday, and on every boot. I haven't changed or installed anything since yesterday, although I think yesterday was the first day since I installed Update 3 that I plugged a USB HDD (SFS formatted) into my X5000.

My suspicion is that the new USB driver isn't quite bullet-proof, although why it would suddenly become problematic is strange.

here's my AmigaInput prefs for my Logitech F710 which helped some F310 users in the past:

@m3x
Quote:Does sii3132sata.device work on Sam460 with older U-Boot versions, without 3132 support?
Does it work after a fast reboot?

Unless both works the AmigaOS 4.x driver may depend on something the Sam460 U-Boot does with the 3132 controller, and therefore doesn't work on other systems.

Or is it a X5000 problem only, and the sii3132sata.device is working on the X1000 and A1222+?

Could depend on the version of the SII3132 controller as well, it seems there are some which don't work anywhere, apparently those with eSATA port, and the others ones which do work are the ones with internal SATA ports only.

@vagappc

Would you post the make and model of your card...or a photo if it's not too much trouble? I'm very curious what is different about your setup. If it's not the card itself, then maybe others can pose some questions, as I'm not currently an X5000 owner. (Am considering either an X5000 or a Mirari when the money is available.)

@Thematic

I will have to look next time I boot my X5K.

Thanks for taking the time to watch my video and offer your advice.

Really appreciate it!

Guess I have it dialed in as close as I can get it for now.

Workaround found :

Copied the TurboCalc program to the directory that the sheets are stored in and changed the TurboCalc directory assign to this directory.

Yippee!!! .

Makes the emulation 100% usable for me .

Yeap, I can confirm it is there.

@smarkusg

Thanks for the tip. Setting view distance at 32-64 gives a noticeable boost at more complex levels

@Mr_byte

Change the ‘view distance’ setting from 512 to a lower value for testing purposes. Add the following line to the ‘options.txt’ file: viewdist=128
You can play around with this option by adjusting the setting to your preferences.

Tested the SPE version on my a1222. Ran surprisingly well. Especially if I started on a new completely flat level, to play around with some simple house building I uploaded a video on youtube to show how it runs on an A1222. Sorry for the 720p quality (forgot to set a higher quality on my phone) and I filmed with my hand while playing.

Ooh! So the updated HID driver made it into the update. Nice!

I use this SATA controller on my x5000.
Work perfectly but is not possible to do OS4 boot or the other OS.
Because the x5000 permit the boot only from the two SATA integrate in the system board.
But exist a third point of boot, is the SDCard where is the uboot.
It is possible to create a FAT partition where is possible insert the kernel Linux, with this metod is possible using one disk on the controller for the Linux boot.

It's a good thing I haven't bought this card for my X5000 yet, as there seem to be some problems. On sam460, however, it works excellently and is fast.

Hopefully, the problems currently affecting the X5000 will be solved at some point. Nevertheless, it's a must for all sam460 users, and thanks again for this free driver. Hats up...

That's great, thank you both

For fans of Minecraft in creative mode based on the classic first version of its prototype, Classicube has been released by HunoPPC.
If you like Lego bricks, this game is for you. HunoPPC has even added a set of Lego skins to this version
Classicube is very popular – there is an online game available on servers where you can build cities, neighbourhoods or your own structures with your friends.
The game uses shaders and looks very good, enhancing the visual experience.

Although I personally prefer the classic technical Minecraft – ‘Red Power’, ‘Industrial Craft’, ‘GregTech’ – Classicube also looks interesting.
