What the fastest possible x64 emulation way of OS4 today ?

@balaton

A (real) Sam460ex does support the shutdown choice. Sam440ep doesn't, only soft and hard reboot.

Best regards,

Niels

@balaton
Thanks for the reply.

I give up on asking questions.
I got tired,
the .raw file is always the same one I use with qemu 9 for linux. (Pegasos)
there the reboot and shutdown works same file.
simply version 9 for Windows must have been compiled without including reboot etc.

I have emulated 4.1 for 10 years in the classic version and now also with qemu.

I don't feel like it anymore, I'm tired, I'll solve things on my own, I'll do it first.

I really don't want to participate in the Amiga forums anymore.

Which Windows build are you using? The support for shutdown is in QEMU since 6.2 or 8.0 (I can't remember exactly but there were no changes in it in 9.0) so I can't imagine how it could be left out from a build so it must be some other problem. Do you have an older backup of the AmigaOS image or a clean 4.2FE Update 2 install to test with in case it got broken in AmigaOS by some update or local change?

You can experiment and solve problems on your own but you're also welcome to ask questions if you're stuck.

@white

I don't use Windows no so I can't help you or check anything.
There is one active user on the forum amiga-news.de/ "Falke_34" who creates a graphical QEMU installer for AOS4 a starter.

He also compiles a version of QEMU under Window. Maybe you should check if this one works for you - here the page

http://falke34.bplaced.net/qemu.html

Last compilation date is QEmu v9.0 (07.06.2024) (Windows) so fairly new.

What discourages me from posting questions are the answers as if I don't know how to use qemu.

here "old version" Windows :
qemu-system-ppc --version

with version 9 for windows reboot etc is not included.

I also use the Windows version because sometimes I don't have to load Linux.

powershell 7.4.2 is the latest version

Windows LTSC 2021


For convenience the environment variable is set for qemu in Windows.
So you can work from the command line comfortably.

ok, solved now it works with version 9 (Windows)

Unfortunately, no one will help you with this attitude.

If you want help, you were asked to specify which version of the Windows compilation you are using.

She gave you a link to a person who is apparently using QEMU on Windows and I think that if she had such a problem she would have written about it straight away.
You can always ask her. It is also active on amigaword.
As far as I remember, you can find qemu compilations for Windows at www.emaculation.com. They also have a forum.
You can also ask eventually on the QEMU users mailing list

@smarkusg

the official version works
the link you gave me has no certificate and "BitDefender" identifies it as an untrustworthy site.

All things considered, Windows LTSC has different updates than normal builds.

I just updated Windows LTSC and now qemu 9 works from the official channel.

Thank you all the same.

And to answer your question of my attitude
I've always said AmiCygnix doesn't work.
Currently no one has yet proven the opposite to me.

Clearly the speech is not directed at you personally.
But it's just to understand each other better.
