OS4.1, classic applications and games

Hi,

I have been "playing" with OS4.1 for a couple of days and I thought to insert an old CD I had from my Commodore A1200 days.

I was surprised to see that y favourite paint program ran straight from the CD;

PPaint7.1

Excellent I thought.

I also ran, from the same CD:

ImageFX and it crashed OS4.1
Lightwave and it crashed

so I installed Quickboom's Quake and it crashed so how do you run the following software under OS4.1?


Quickboom's Quake or any other alternative Quake?
Hyperion's Quake2
Quake3? (Where do I get it from? I have Q3 Gold for Windows)
Hyperions's Heretic 2
Any classic Amiga game? (How do I run those classics, what is the best way?)
Hyperion's Shogo
Hyperion's Freespace
Genetic Species
T-Zero
Wipeout 2097
ImageFX
Real3D
Lightwave
Payback
Myst

Do the 68K programs run emulated without user noticing it or doing anything?

Or is there a native OS4.1 version of the above software?

Any more suggestions?

Thank you

@TheDaddy

Quake on os4depot.

Quake 2 and 3 ports from Capehill are here.

@yoodoo2

Thanks again

Anyone can shed some light on the rest above?

Thank you

PS: I am new to OS4.X, as you can see

ImageFX runs OK (not well, but OK). I use it frequently for cropping and resizing photos. It's a pain to install, though. IIRC you have to create dummy prefs files, it only runs on its own screen and a few other things.

Once you've got it going and saved the prefs, it works OK. If you run the debug kernel, it DSIs (0xCCCCCCD0) a couple of times on startup but you can click through them. If you run the standard kernel you don't hear about its bugs. After that, it's fine. There may be other bugs in components that I don't use.

@TheDaddy

I answered with a little more detail over on amigaworld.

Real3D and the demo version of Myst work fine with OS4.1 Don't know about the real commercial version of Myst, because I don't have it yet.

If you already have Real3D on CD, it may be just a matter of dragging the Real3D drawer over to your hard drive. I downloaded the ADF files from AmiKit back while I was still running AmigaOS 4.0 July 2007 Update. They required an older version of the Installer program and I had to use AmigaOS 3.1 to install the program on my hard drive. Luckily, I had the AmigaOS4PPC version of E-UAE installed and used it fire up my OS3.1 Workbench. Installed Real3D from the ADF files, then went back to OS4 and dragged the Real3D drawer out to where I could easily find it.

Of course, as usual, there is the obligatory assign to add to the user-startup file, for example:
assign R3D3: Sys:Real3D

Real3D launches just fine from OS4.1 I haven't used it much so I don't know if there are any pitfalls.

Freespace - Get the OS4 update from Hyperion's website (when it is back up)
Payback - 68k version works fine
Wipeout2097 - download the WarpOS emulation wrapper

@tonyw

I was just about to start a thread asking, "what's up with ImageFX 4.5 installation on 4.1?" Does anyone know if Kermit is updating ImageFX beyond the full 68k version and the PPC demo on 0S4depot? (Yes, I know the best way is to ask Kermit myself over e-mail)

It's "Click-Boom". That's the Quake is use. Runs perfect is OS4.1 GLQuake is good, but has poor sound quality.
Are you sure that 'Quickboom' isn't pirated ware?

Excellent! Straight answer!

Alright then, Click-Boom It was a typo.

Nope, I have got the original CD in its box but it doesn't work when I run the 68K version.

I still haven't managed to get Payback68k running properly on 4.1. It starts up fine, but the keyboard controls are all screwy, making it totally unplayable. The WarpOS version plays properly but of course there's no sound...

It works fine but graphical glitches mean that you can't see your energy bar properly. Doesn't completely ruin it, but it's a shame all the same.

@interrogative

Don't think you will be seeing an ImageFX update anytime soon sorry to say.

I trust you have installed the latest update (6 is it?). IIRC ChrisH had (has?) the same problem, but it works fine here so I can't offer much more help.

Try changing the screenmode and settings when it starts up.
