I have a feeling something yummy is coming our way!

Yes I have notices, this where annoying when things does not work as they are suppose to work, I tried mount few different partitions on my PC hard drive whit no success.

The disk contained a none standard partition table, because it contained 2 or 3 primary partitions, and then an extended whit few logical partitions whit in, Linux on some partitions and windows on others.

It nice if the old way mounting disks where supported some how, or if AmigaOS supported MBR format; that way don?t need spend hours wondering way things are the way they are.

anyone that could remake the porting for Quake 3 ??

Cool

btw, the "cut-in-half" checkmark button when an update is
available is still there

Oh

Then is most defintitely won't work as ScummVM cannot know
about CAMD.library from Amigaland...hmmm

Still, ScummVM relies on the system it runs on to provide a
"default" MIDI port to be opened and use this, so it should
be possible to simply open up the MIDI port with a little
program, then start ScummVM and see if it spits something
out.

I'll try the midithru command you mentioned

Is there a little command that opens via686.out.0?

Search on Aminet for "XFS".
I have a partition left on my harddrive, back from the
old days, which contains some FAT partitions with a Win95
installation. I vaguely remember that it was tricky to
create the mountlists years ago because xfsd does not
understand MBR, the LowCyl values had to point to the
sector with the FAT bootcode. And the partition had to
be inside the 4GB limit. XFSD still works with OS4 here
and supports long file names. My mountlist for "PCD":

I believe that they are working something BIG. I don't have a clue what that is, but something inside me tells me so. Also, at the latest Amiga Future there is a review of the version #4, if I'm right, which I haven't seen it anywhere.

@Raziel

Yes, that is correct.
If it doesn't open CAMD, then CAMD won't work with it.

Exception: In the early days of CAMD there was only "in.0" and "out.0", both from the builtin serial port.

If the program tries to open camd.library and will only connect to "out.0", then yes, you CAN use OS4 camd.. You only have to use the "MidiThru" shell command like this:

midithru out.0 via686.out.0

That command will "create" out.0 and feed everything coming into it to via686.out.0

All of this assumes that your scummVM program is opening camd.library..

Let us know how it works! (or IF it works)

Lyle

@LyleHaze

So, what your saying basically is

If a program does't know about camd it can't use MIDI?

e.g. ScummVM has no possibility to choose the MIDI driver
to explicitely speak to. It just assumes there is a default
one set and tries to use that one.

Hmm, seems i have to wait for the hardware and try...

Thanks for the clarification

@Raziel

@Raziel

Please dont!

The MIDIPrefs is no longer used or needed. It was phased
out with the port to OS4.

Each program that uses CAMD is supposed to save it's own
setting and go back there when reopened.

Some of my CAMD tools just use a tooltype in the icon.
Some don't use anything (even if they should).

All the midi drivers in devs:MIDI will be opened when CAMD
is first opened, so you will have access to all your different toys.

Thre is also a USB MIDI driver that installs as a USB driver, but will still show up in CAMD cluster requesters.

Reminder: the via686 driver is OUT only. You can get MIDI IN working by adding a soundblaster card, or by using one or more class-compatible USB MIDI interfaces. I've had success with all of these (even all at once!)

Finally, some developers are hard-coding their programs to require the word "in" or "out" in the cluster name. This is a mistake. Clusters can be created by the user at any time, and can have any name.

As an example, I have a BCR2000 control deck connected to a MIDI controlled mixing board. All the links between them get complicated, and it's harder to add other applications. So I have it all sorted through a cluster called "Mix".

Some of the current MIDI applications will NOT connect to a cluster called "Mix", they either won't let me enter the name, or they change it to "mix.out.0" (which is useless)

This was covered pretty well in the original CAMD documents. The file "camd.intro", section titled "Establishing Links"

Sorry about the rant. Let us know when you get the MT32
playing music!

@Mason
I've got one: Cloanto's DirDiff (it's on Aminet if you don't already have it).

A real oldie, but one of the sort that gets almost daily usage here, and still works just fine also under OS4.

Its icon -- in the AmigaOS2 style -- does tend to stick out like a sore thumb among all your nice modern ones in my AmiDock, though

Best regards,

Niels

Any news on Cygnix or any new apps ported to it?
It was a long time since we heard anything on this.
Edgar? Afx?

Hi @tfrieden

Strange, this didn't happen for me, I could play it for over an hour without problem.

May I ask what video card you are using?

Hi @Jurassicc

I'm gonna have a go at installing it under OS4 E-UAE too just for fun.

You won't like it when you try to run it! It's awful slow because of the Non JIT of Euae! Start with killing all of Ken Lester's Icons. I tried IconBeFast, but that won't cut it. Look at the size of the icons!

Just for the record, it's fixed :)

Hi @Antique
When updated the sii driver by Stepen Guillard, I started out with UDMA 1 for awhile. Works fine now at UDMA 3 since the SFS update.

@ TMTisFree
8.Syst?meAmiga1:> idetool -l sii3112ide.device
8.Syst?meAmiga1:> idetool -l sii3114ide.device

Which IDE card are you using?

Hi @salass00

I just received the replacement PSU from Antec . Now to get the A1 working again...

OK,OK and... ; report please!

I'm was up and running on the last day of September. It's nice to be back among the living OS4 users!!!

@Raziel
I've been very busy updating after two months offline ; not exactly an easy task!

Hi ]@Jack

Can I tell OS4 to mount the whole device? (like one can mount trackdisk.device, with propper block/whatever sizes/numbers, like telling Linux to mount /dev/sdb instead of /dev/sdb1).

FWW, anything linux does, it's 'affs' is using ADOS3 and OS4 is using ADOS7. I'm sure the arithmatic is different; Dos3<=>Dos7.
