As my Sound fx 4.3 and 4.0 from an backup did not work on my AmigaONE I downloaded the archives from sonicpulse.de again and tried to install.

During installation I get errors from the installer-script. I tried several things as delete a line from the script, different languages, novice, expert etc. but the script does not run and the installation is interrupted half the way. Has someone experienced the same behavour ?

You should be careful whit install scripts on OS4, they might replace system files in libs:

better to start program, to see if it complains about some thing, and if so copy the files you need manually.

copy from your AmigaOS3.x installation the following libs

confgio.library
listtools.library
unitconv.library

and the fonts

ButtonGliphMedium

both descriptors/bitmaps .otag and .font

and the trinomic family

Trinomic
TrinoimicSign

How it works? ... no clue, still testing ... but it works

wow... is faaast!

I have SoundFX4.3 (Registered), and during one of the OS updates it no longer worked, and I couldn't find out why.
So I never realy worked out how to use this program.

BUT...... after copying across the above from the Progdir: to sys: It runs again.
I have just loaded an MP3 file, but I had to set the output to AHI instead of Amiga14bit, to get it to play.
Then playing around with some of the icons/options I (think I) cut the mp3 and it just played the cut part of the mp3. WOW.

I'll really have to look up some tutorials for this prog if they are available,

@thread

4.3 can be installed by minor tweaking the installer script (see below) and manual copying the 3 libs from data archive into libs: .
I used the archives found on http://www.sonicpulse.de/eng/p_sfx_download.html).
However, sfxsupport.library throws a dsi (didn't find any side-effect, but still).
4.0 works fine after manual copy described in this thread.

No DSIs here, registered and installed it quite some time ago as a thank you to Stefan for getting it working on OS4.

It's not something I use very often, but it is always handy to keep a sample editor around.

sfxsupport.library 4.3 (160220 bytes)

I'm using the OS4 version of showtip, don't know whether that's the cause of your DSI.

Oh, I think I'm using an older build than the one on the website:
SoundFX 4.3.91 (31/03/2005)
16bit/64bit for 68020/FPU ? 1993-2004 by Stefan Kost

That's more likely to be the cause. It's only a month off so I don't know what the differences are. I suspect I got it directly from Stefan for testing purposes.

I copied the files and did start the programma from ram:sfx directory: but I get a workbench requester with "retry - try different tool - cancel".

I know that I had it working on my A1, only not with the latest updates.

i didn't anything but using the already installed SFX (shared between AmigaOS3.9 and MOS for PowerUP) and copying the above mentioned component that btw, are always been in SYS: and NOT in PROGDIR:Libs (but sfxsupport)

SoundFX 4.3.95 (31-Mar-2005)
16bit/64bit for 68060/FPU ? 1993-2004 by Stefan Kost

of course Swoop, AOS 4 uses AHI for Paula

@Framiga
Early OS4 documentation stated that the OS4 68k emulator does not support 060 binaries and recommended the use of plain 020 versions of 68k software. I'm not sure if that's still true, but I would play it safe and use the 020 version.

Is this the listing of yours or you have earlier ones? The site provides exactly the ones you listed.
I have the same (tried different cpu distributions, same result).
I the problem is triggered by usage of libmad verison of mpega library?
The dsi occurs at the end of loading of mp3 file. Uncompressed samples work fine.

Thanks,
Jack

It just reports the safes and that is 68020, most 680x0 files will work including 030 / 040 / 060.

They're my files, if they're the same then I don't know why you are getting problems.

SFX is a very complex app.

I did follow the developement (and helped Stefan) about an issue with the Repulse card. (not supported ATM by OS4)

Today i got ProStationAudio 5.05 68K working as well (with an issue loading MP3, under investigation)

What is impressive about SFX is the speed under emulation.
