Thank you all!

@AmigaOldskooler

Thanks for the monthly summary.

I really liked the Polish report which is neutral about the problems of hardware/emulation/software AmigaOs4.1. The translation of the video worked well and I could understand it well.

Thank you smarkusg (Marek) for the interview and the past projects you were mainly involved in.

Hello,

It's time for another edition of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup!

https://oldschoolgameblog.com/2024/04/ ... nthly-roundup-april-2024/

Hope you'll enjoy the news!

Nice one Trixie, I am sure you will do a fab job. All the best.

@all

Maybe we can repeat such a multiplayer event if we can agree on the best time for most. ?

You can use Qemu 9 for all 3 machines Pegasos2/AmigaOneXe and Sam460. An extra branch is no longer necessary.

@HunoPPC

Thanks Huno for the new version I have already tried it but it seems that the software renderer mode is broken, did you use SDL1 libraries for it?

Otherwise great that they disabled the fade in out function so the SnesGui starts much faster. Seems the OpenGL mode works best for me although it runs over Wazp3d. Composit also works but then there are problems with the sound output although it does not come to 100% CPU load.

A small video which shows the problems.



The video is currently being edited for better playback in higher resolutions.

Attention! This video is only intended to show the problems and I will remove it from the forum later so as not to slow it down.

According to https://wiki.amiga.org/index.php?title=RadeonHD#Installation the Enhancer installer doesn't add it to the Kicklayout if it's not there yet (AmigaOne SE/XE/µA1, Pegasos2, classic Amigas and Sam440) but just updates the Lite version of the RadeonHD driver, where available (X1000, X5000, Sam460, A1222), to the full version.

@smf

What it is? If Enhancer installer doesn't add it, I dont have it. Kicklayout search gives only this thread.

@MamePPCA1

I am stuck on this problem still...

Can some of you help me?

Thank you

@utri007

Do you have the radeonhd entry in your kicklayout?
iirc os4 for the sam440 does not have it by default but other systems where a radeonhd is expected to run have it and the radeonhd-lite driver.

After those three steps Sam get stuck to "loading done, now launching kickstart".

after step 1. I updated everything.

qemu 9 is also included AmigaOne ?
without needing to compile a separate branch ?

I have now all the needed hardware.

1. Sam440ep-flex PCI 66 MHz
2. PCI-PCIe bridge ( second photo in paragraph 3.1 - this is with chip P17C9X. You need no additional power here, power is drawn from PCI slot.
3. PCIe x1 -> x16 powered riser (common name on ebay is Powered USB3.0 GPU Riser Extender or mining rig adapter ) - see photo three in the same paragraph. You have to connect this adapter to power.
4. Radeon HD 7850

I have a Enhance Software it should have a correct driver??

What are excat steps to make my Amoga OS install to support Radeon HD card?

1 - Install Enhancer softare.
2 - Plug Radeon HD.
3 - Boot machine?

@GregorQuote:
I found the problem... The white and green cables had to be the opposite way!

Now about trying to catch the switch-off issue... Do you have to have the continuous 'printing' on? Or does the MCU send out the error message anyway?

@Joerg
Same 0 as expected :( (there should be values anyway, even with wrong 16). Question is : what BAR we tried to read with this "16", i mean first BAR of what, if it the same does not matter in what directory (be it root /pci, or /pci/pci@7, or any other pci) happens to be. Like it just general offset of 16 of whole PCI thing, but we need first BAR of the card behind the bridge : how to say/calculate that ?

@K-L
thank you.
It is a pitty, so I have to wrote some benchmark ourselves

So just to be clear, this isn't an issue with CubicIDE, or any other environment, but more with the installed SDK and/or components.

I'd hate for authors be flooded with emails regarding problems totally unrelated to the actual installed IDE....

Here at Amigans, we tend to pride ourselves on the fact that we try our best to keep the forums running at their optimum efficiency. If that means bringing in new members of staff, then that can only be a good thing to keep the forum running clean and unmolested.

As usual, if there seems to be something that needs to be sorted, there are contact details to be used to report such things.

We are here for the good of the users, when that stops, we will will have to rethink our strategy.

Simon

Yeah, you just press F3.
