I have a fix for that in my next release, that will simplify that issue for you. But if you want to test it now, download the following code and put it in your .config/lite-xl/plugins folder. Then start/restart Lite XL and see if the Right Amiga works for key shortcuts

Thanks & Merry Christmas

@trixie,

Just downloaded both games on my A1222+.

Installed fine and both are playing fine so far.

I enjoyed both games but I seem to prefer and play better at Shisen-Sek.

Keep porting more games to OS4.

Thank you.

Hey. Sorry, this is never going to work at any playable level on anything but an X5000.

FPSE is the best option in all cases, its only issue is compatibility games.

Thanks for the help, but lowering the resolution did not help. Switching from fixed mode to full screen does not make Mednafen or PSX emulation work any faster.

@redfox

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoy the games!

Yes, Lopan is a Shanghai clone, I mention that in the blog. It's simple but plays OK. Shisen-Seki is a bit more fun, but maybe I'm saying that because I prefer the Shisen-Sho type of Mahjong.

Try also to lower the resolution to 640*480

Is it slower because you are running it in window mode ?
I always have in mind that full screen should be faster because only one screen needs to refresh whereas in window mode, mednafen AND workbench have to be refreshed slowing things down, but maybe I got it wrong ??

@trixie

Thank you for porting Lopan and Shisen-Seki to OS4.

Both render beautifully on my MicroA1.

Lopan reminds me of Shanghai, which I often play under emulation. I'm new to Shisen-Seki, but I certainly enjoyed my first try at the game.

Thank you,
redfox

Today I went to Mednafen to try it out, first of all this porting is really good and I am glad you did it even if the configuration is not very user friendly.

For me the focus was on the PSX emulation and I tested it, unfortunately I realized that it is terribly slow compared to the old port FPSE on Os4Depot.

I followed your instructions and also created a “psx.cfg” in the “.mednafen” directory, the config is also used this is the content I added to the config.



The compatibility with most PSX games is excellent and the old port FPSE can't even do this without errors. Is there anything else I can do to make the PSX emulation run faster via Mednafen?

Maybe we should all get together and port a current version of FPSE for AmigaOs4.1, or are we unfortunately no longer able to do this and simply lack capable developers?

@orgin

nice, thank you

@msteed

Fixed

@walkero

Yeah, already worked that out after my last reply was posted. The only real difference I could see between LiteXL implementation of editor config and others is that is doesn't seem to "walk up" through to the root of the device looking for configs. Or maybe it's that on Mac you can have one in your home / config folder? I don't remember off hand. But an editorconfig file per project really isn't too much of a hardship.

There is a solution for that. Lite XL has a plugin that supports editorconfig (https://editorconfig.org/) files. Those files describe a lot about how the code should be edited, and you can set it even per type of files. For example, you can set the Makefiles to use tabs with width of four characters but the C code to use spaces of 2 characters.

Furthermore, editorconfig files are used by the most major editors. So, if you share your code with others, or you switch between different systems, the experience will be the same.

I suggest you give it a try, if you haven't done so. You can see the one that I use myself https://git.walkero.gr/walkero/lite-xl ... ch/amiga2.1/.editorconfig

I found that my Sitelist file was correct but my Envarc:update.prefs was not.
I am in the middle of a reinstallation and I didn't think of such file in Envarc:

All fixed now.
Thanks.

@orgin

I notice that if I click "Show content" for either of those files I get the error message "No content viewer is available for this file type at this time." Is that something that can be fixed?

@Elwood

Didn't happen to me.

Anyway, if you don't have a backup to fetch a recent prefs file and Sitelist from, it should still be easy to recreate your servers manually.

The Hyperion one for public OS4 updates is update.amigaos.net, and the public third-party one is www.amiupdate.net.

The credentials for the Hyperion updates are the same as your login credentials to your account on hyperion-entertainment.net; if your Sitelist is not intact, you should be prompted for them the first time you try getting any updates from there.

(I don't remember if you're still an OS4 beta tester, but if so, you know where to ask for info about that.)


Best regards,

Niels

@MartinW

Thank you for the suggestions. I still have to figure out the "makefile thing" so, I am using CodeBench, once I won't feel shaky on my feet, I'll try out LiteXL and the make files.

Happy holidays!

What happens when you format the virtual hard drive under emulation?

Quote:

He copied the AmigaOS3.2 CD to a drawer / directory on his hard drive, then he modified the .uaerc file in order to have that directory mounted as a virtual Hard drive. e-uae booted from that "drive".

You could skip the copy of the CD and use it to boot e-uae:

filesystem2=rw,DH1:AmigaOS3.2CD:AmigaOS3.2CD:,0
or
filesystem=rw,AmigaOS3.2CD:AmigaOS3.2CD:

hope this helps

1 - 2GB max (Workbench and programs)
ExtMem can use more but very few (system) programs make use of it

2 - 256 MB max ((Workbench)
the extra memory is only utilised with the RadeonHD/RadeonRX drivers from the enhancer package and, to my knowledge, only work with gl4es (but I might be wrong there)
